INTRODUCTION
Industrial Supremacy
Today Gastonia has 56 textile manufacturing plants, with 600,000 spindles, and an average daily payroll of approximately $91,000. , Gaston County at the present time has 134 textile plants, not to men- tion the various other smaller and allied manufacturing establishments.
Today the sons of the early pioneers are still carrying on with native- born Americans as employees, with complete understanding of each other and an absence of friction in industrial relationship. According to the 1940 U. S. Census, only .7 per cent of Gastonia's population was foreign-born. This enviable position, together with other favorable factors of climate, location, etc., induced the Firestone Cotton Mills to locate their Southern tire fabric manufacturing plant in Gastonia in 1935.
Industrialproducts of the county include: Cotton yarns, tire fabric, textile machinery, sewing thread, bedspreads, crocheting and knitting yarns, labels, gears, weavers' knotters, roller covering, dress goods, sheeting, leather belting, silk, rayon, mattresses, furniture, textile sup- plies, hosiery, shoe laces, Army uniform cloth, motor oil filters, damask, carbon manifolds, novelties, industrial paper products, and other articles.
Transportation and Utilities
Gastonia is on the main double-track line of the Southern Railway from New York to New Orleans and is also served by the Carolina & North- western and Piedmont & Northern railways. Also serving Gastonia are several highways, including U. S. Highway No. 29, the "Main Street of the South" and U. S. No. 321. Three bus lines and numerous motor-freight and express companies operate in all directions from Gastonia. Gastonia is only twenty minutes from the Charlotte airport, which is served by the Eastern Air Lines from New York to New Orleans. These facilities provide convenient and rapid transportation of passengers, freight and express in a few hours to the great centers of the U. S. Gastonia has one landing field on the outskirts of the city and one airport, and there are two airports near Charlotte about 15 miles distant from Gastonia.
Industry cannot thrive without adequate power, and in this respect Gastonia is particularly fortunate. In close proximity to the Duke Power Co., with several of its mamouth hydro-electric and steam auxiliary plants located in Gaston County, ample electric power is available at low rates. The quality of service available and the economical rates for users of electricity are highly important factors in considering Gastonia as a place of residence, or for the location of a business or industry.

INTRODUCTION
Financial Features
North Carolina has no ad valorem property tax. The City of Gastonia rate is $1.25 per $100, and the Gaston County rate is 75¢ on $100 valua- tion. With municipal property valued at over $2,600,000. Gastonia has a net bonded debt of $976,120.
Gastonia has an adequate and modern water plant with clear water source.
Electricity is purchased wholesale from the Duke Power Co. and retailed by the City to residential and industrial users. Users outside the city are served direct by Duke Power Co.
The average fire loss during the past five years has been less than the expenses of the Fire Department, and the per capita fire loss is far below the national average.
Closely allied with the city's favorable financial position in reference to industry, there should be mentioned also North Carollna's stable govern- ment which is falr to capital, fair to labor, and possesses a sympathetic understanding of industry.
Gastonia's financial institutions, consisting of two strong national banks and two thriving building and loan Institutions, afford ample facilities throughout this trade area.
Civic Life
The moral atmosphere of any city is indicated by the facilities which It has provided for religious worship. Gastonia is a church-going city, with 29 churches representing practically all the well-known denomina- tions-Protestant, Catholic and Jewish.
Gastonia is also proud of its school system, which consists of ten modern school plants, with property valuation of $1,750,000, and an en- rollment of 6,551.
Gastonia has two splendid general hospitals for white people and one for Negroes. In addition, there is located here the North Carolina Ortho- pedic Hospital, the only State-owned and State-maintained institution of Its kind in the Southern States. It has provisions for inmates of both races.
Gastonia has one modern hotel and several smaller hostelries, sev- eral large apartment houses, anda number of good private boarding houses. Five modern theatres, with total seating capacity of 3,200, afford ample amusement facilities.
The value of healthy civic clubs is thoroughly appreciated in Gastonia. Strong units of Rotary, Kiwanis, Civitan, Lions, Optimists, Altrusa and Pilot clubs are rendering valuable service to the city. An elegant club building is owned by the Gastonia Woman's Club, and the leading fraternal : organizations are represented. A splendid clubhouse, golf courses, swim- ming pools, tennis courts, parks and playgrounds afford ample opportuni- ties for healthful recreation.
For the prospective resident, Gastonia is favorably situated in many ways. While the city is located near the busy marts of trade, in less than three hours of travel by automobile a Gastonian can be in the incomparable scenery of the mountains of western North Carolina, the "Land of the Sky." In three hours he can journey to the famous Pinehurst and Southern Pines winter resorts. The famous Atlantic beaches can be reached in five or six hours. One night of travel will place him in most of the big Eastern cities.
Trade Area
Based on the 1940 U. S. Census, the population in a 75-mile radius of Gastonia was approximately 1,700,000.
Although the trucking industry has been developing rapidly, Gaston County still imports thousands of dollars' worth of food that could be raised profitably in the county.

Opportunities
The city's industrial population challenges the farmers of the county to grow food and feed crops.
Dairying and poultry farms have made notable strides in the last few years, but the possible field of development has just begun.
Fruit-growing has become an important item in Gaston County. No finer peaches can be grown anywhere, and an ample market is close at hand.
The natural advantages which induced the pioneer forefathers to lo- cate here still exist and, with the addition of the vast industrial empire and the phenomenal growth in population, the advantages have been aug- mented.
The above legend is only a brief summary and contains only a few of the high-lights of the many opportunities, industrial and otherwise, that exist today in Gastonia and Gaston County. Those desiring to take advantage of the opportunities offered by this hustling Piedmont city of the New South are cordially invited to write directly to the Chamber of Commerce at Gastonia.
