Gastonia is located on U. S. Highway #29 from Washington to Atlanta, frequently referred to as the "Main Street of the South."


Excellent Transportation


Gastonia is on the main double-track line of Southern Railway from New York to New Orleans, and is also served by the Carolina and Northwestern and the Piedmont and Northern Railways. Important highways running through the city include U. S. 29, "The Main Street of the South", U. S. 321, U. S. 74, and N. C. Highways 7 and 274. Three bus lines plus a number of motor-freight and ex- press companies operate in all directions from Gastonia. Gastonia is only 20 minutes from the Charlotte airport, served by Eastern, Delta, Capital, and Piedmont air lines. Gastonia has one landing field on the city's outskirts, and one airport.


Power is an Important Factor


Adequate power is an industrial necessity, and Gastonia is fortunate in hav- ing an abundant supply. Several of the Duke Power Company's mammoth hydro- electric and steam auxiliary plants are close by in Gaston County. Anyone con- sidering Gastonia as a place to live or as the location of a business can be sure of the highest type of service as well as the most economical rates.


Natural Gas


The Public Service Company of N. C. has made natural gas available in Gastonia. It comes from the fields in Texas, brought by the Trans-continental Pipe Line Company, and the pipe line is within 1-1/3 miles of Gastonia's limits.


Water and Electricity


Gastonia has a splendid new, modern water plant with clear water source. Electricity, purchased by the city from Duke Power Company, is retailed to residential and industrial users. Users outside the city are served directly by Duke Power Company.

INTRODUCTION


Rankin Lake-the eighty-five acre artificial lake which impounds 250 million gallons of water, the source of Gastonia's supply of fine water.


Telecommunications


Splendid telephone service is furnished Gastonia and the numerous nearby towns and cities by the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co.


Financial


North Carolina has no ad valorem tax on property. Rate for the city of Gas - tonia is $1.50 per $100, and for the County of Gaston, $1.10 on $100 valuation. Municipal property is valued at over $9 million. The stable government of North Carolina is fair to capital and to labor, and has a sympathetic understand- ing of industry's problems.


There are two strong national banks in Gastonia and two thriving building and loan associations, all giving efficient service to the community.


One of Gastonia's Modern Junior High Schools.


Education


The splendid school system is made up of 18 modern school plants, with an enrollment of 12,000 in the metropolitan area. Gastonia is also the home of Gaston Technical Institute, operated under auspices of the School of Engineering

of N. C. State College, where technical courses are offered in internal combus- tion engines, electrical and building construction technology, and radio broad- casting. The N. C. Vocational School is operated by the Vocational Education Department Mill Maintenance of North Carolina, and offers tuition-free courses in yarn manufacturing, weaving, tailoring, knitting, and designing. Both these schools are valuable to the industrial life of the community. Evans College of Commerce in Gastonia has the important task of training many young people to take their places in the commercial and industrial field. Belmont Abbey College, a four-year college for men, and Sacred Heart Academy for girls, are located at Belmont, N. C., nine miles from Gastonia.


Belmont Abbey College-located at Belmont, N. C. ten miles east of Gastonia.


Gastonia's Civic Center-includes the Public Library, Memorial Hall-Gastonia's gift to its veterans of all wars, and the Gastonia Woman's Club building.


Civic Life


Gastonia is a church-going city, with 93 churches representing practically all the well-known denominations-Protestant, Catholic and Jewish.


The value of active civic clubs is appreciated in Gastonia, where strong units of Rotary, Kiwanis, Civitan, Lions, Optimist, Altrusa, and Pilot clubs are giving valuable service. All the leading fraternal organizations are represented in the city, also. Gastonia Woman's Club owns its own handsome building.


Golf courses, swimming pools, tennis courts, parks and playgrounds furnish plenty of opportunity for healthful recreation.


For the prospective resident, Gastonia is favorably situated. In less than 3 hours by automobile a Gastonian can be in the incomparable mountains of North

Carolina, the lovely "Land of the Sky". He is also only 3 hours away from Pinehurst and Southern Pines, famous winter resorts. In warmer weather, the tempting Atlantic beaches can be reached in 5 hours.


Gastonia has two splendid general hospitals for whites and one for Negroes. In addition, there is also the N. C. Orthopedic Hospital, the only state-owned and state-maintained institution of its kind in the South. It cares for patients of both races.


Gaston County Dairy Herd.


Farming Opportunities


Though truck farming has developed rapidly, Gaston still imports thousands of dollars worth of food that could be raised -- with profit-in this county. The fast-growing industrial population of the city is a challange to the farmers of the area to produce more food and feed crops each year. Dairying and poultry farming have advanced a great deal in recent years, but there is still a need

for further development. Fruit growing, too, is gaining in importance, and it is true that no finer peaches can be grown anywhere than those produced in Gaston County, A market for these is close at hand.

-thus assuring you the ultimate service that skill and care can produce in the way of City Directories or other reference media, and providing pro- tection against fraudulent advertising schemes which operate under the name of Directories.


The following "Standards of Practice," adopted at the inception of the Association of North American Directory Publishers in 1898, and strictly ad- hered to over the years, is your guarantee of satisfactory Directory Service.


The publisher of a Directory should dedicate his best efforts to the cause of business uplift and social service, and to this end pledges himself:


1. To consider, first, the interest of the user of the book.


2. To subscribe to and work for truth, honesty and accuracy in all departments.


3. To avoid confusing duplication of listings, endeavoring to classify every concern under the one head- ing that best describes it, and to treat additional listings as advertis- ing, 'to be charged for at regular rates.


4. To increase public knowledge of what Directories contain; to study public needs and make Direc- tories to supply them; to revise and standardize methods and classifica- tions, so that what is wanted may be most easily found, and the Direc- tory be made to serve its fullest use


as a business and social reference book and director of buyer and seller.


5. To decline any advertisement which has a tendency to mislead or which does not conform to business integrity.


6. To solicit subscriptions and ad- vertising solely upon the merits of the publications.


7. To avoid misrepresentation by statement or inference regarding circulation, placing the test of refer- ence publicity upon its accessibility to seekers, rather than on the num- ber of copies sold.


8. To co-operate with approved organization and individuals en- gaged in creative advertising work.


9. To avoid unfair competition.


10. To determine what is the highest and largest function of Directories in public service, and then to strive in every legitimate way to promote that function.


$100 Reward will be paid by the Association of North American Directory Publishers for the arrest and conviction of any person or persons engaged in the publishing, collecting or canvassing for any fraudulent or fake directories.

Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory?


You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few ques- tions, checked against City Directory information, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."
