INTRODUCTION
More and More People
Each decennial census has recorded a substantial growth in population. Population figures since 1880 are as follows:
1880 - 236 1930 - 17,093 1940 - 21,313
1890 - 1,033
1900 - 4,610 1950 - 23,069
1910 - 5,759
1920 - 12,871

Gastonia is located on U. S. Highway No. 29 from Washington to Atlanta, frequently referredto as the "Main Street of the South," and also on Interstate No. 85 soon to be constructed.
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 express companies operate in all directions from Gastonia. Gastonia is only 20 minutes from the Charlotte airport, served by Eastern, Delta, Capital, Southeastern 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 having an abundant supply. Several of the Duke Power Company's mammoth hydro-electric and steam auxiliary plants are close by in Gaston County. Any - one considering 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.

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. The stable government of North Carolina is fair to capital and to labor, and has a sympathetic understanding of industry's problems.
There are two strong national banks in Gastonia and two thriving savings 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 20 modern school plants, with an enrollment of 14,000 in the metropolitan area. Gastonia is also the home of Gas- ton Technical Institute, operated under auspices of the School of Engineering of N. C. State College, where technical courses are offered in civil technology, elec- trical technology, electronics technology, and mechanical and production tech- nology. The N. C. Vocational Textile School is operated by the Vocational Educa -

tion Department of North Carolina, and offers tuition-free courses in yarn man- ufacturing, weaving, tailoring, knitting, and designing. Both of 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 pla - ces 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. A School of Nursing and the Industrial Educa - tion Center are rendering valuable training in their respective fields.

Civic Life
Gastonia is a church-going city, with 100 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, playgrounds and bowl- ing alleys furnish plenty of opportunity for healthful recreation. A favorite rec- reation spot is huge Catawba Lake, formed by Duke Power's Company's develop- ment of the Catawba River. Summer homes and bath houses dot the shoreline of its sprawling waters, and boating, swimming, and water skiing are popular sports.

There's gracious living in Gastonia.
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 Pine- hurst 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 challenge 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. Fruit growing, too, is gain- ing 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.

The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or prod- uct, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.
The City Directory is the natural medium for keeping a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.
