Both the city and the county maintain a thoroughly ef- ficient health department. Meat, milk, food, and all hotels, restaurants, and other places serving food to the public are rigidly inspected.
Hospitals
Gastonia has two splendid general hospitals for white people and one for Negroes.
It is the site of the North Carolina Orthopaedic Hospital, the only State-owned and State-maintained institution of its kind in the Southern states and one of less than a dozen such institutions in the U. S. It has provisions for inmates of both races.
The county operates a children's home for indigent orphans.
Proximity to Resorts
For the prospective resident, Gastonia is favorably sit- uated in many ways. While it is located in the busy marts of trade, in less than three hours of travel by automobile a Gastonian can be in the incomparable scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains of western Carolina, "The Land of the Sky." In three hours he can journey easily to the famous Pinehurst
Gastonia's Splendid Public Library

INTRODUCTION
and Southern Pines winter resorts. The far-famed Atlantic beaches can be reached in rive to six hours. One night or travel will place him in most of the big Eastern cities.
Public Library
The Gastonia Public Library, now more than twenty-five years old, entered its spacious new home early in 1931. The library building is modern and attractive in every respect, and would be a credit to a city many times the size of Gas- tonia.
Memorial Hall
Somewhat unique in the South is Memorial Hall, erected by the citizens of Gastonia, at a cost of $75,000 as a memorial to deceased war veterans and for the sole and exclusive use of living veterans of all wars. The building contains a large
Memorial Hall-Gastonia's Gift to Her Veterans of All Wars --- Dedicated 1930
fire-proof museum housing many interesting and valuable war relics, a spacious auditorium, library, reading rooms, club rooms, showers, dining room, kitchen, etc. In a material way this splendid building reflects Gastonia's appreciation of our country's defenders.
Kings Mountain
Gastonia is only 20 miles from the historic battleground of Kings Mountain, where, on Oct. 7, 1780, the sturdy moun- tain pioneers vanquished the British forces under Ferguson and turned the tide of independence in favor of the colon- ists. This famous battleground is now one of the few na- tional military parks in the country. Gastonia is the natural point from which to visit this historic spot.
Gaston, the County of Opportunity
While Gaston County is generally regarded as an indus- trial county, the activities of its people run along many other lines.
22
INTRODUCTION
With an average annual rainfall of 46 inches, fertile soil and a long growing season, Gaston County is a desirable agricultural section. With its dense population affording a ready market for all types of farm products, there has been a wide diversity in the types of farming. Gaston County's population in 1930 was 78,093, an increase of 52 per cent in the past ten years.
Although the trucking industry has been developing rapidly, Gaston still imports thousands of dollars worth or food than can profitably be raised in the county. The city's industrial population challenges the county's farmers to grow food and feed crops.
Dairying and poultry farms have made notable strides in the past few years, but the possible field of development has just begun. Gaston County would be an ideal location for a large creamery plant.
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.
Cotton and corn are still the major farm products. In 1929 Gaston County produced 19,096 bales of cotton.
Gaston has the distinction of being the fourth pure-bred dairy sire county in the U. S., the first in North Carolina.
A game preserve of 10.000 acres for the preservation of wild animals has recently been established in the county and is now being stocked with various kinds of game. Numerous lakes and streams with large bodies of water offer delightful retreats to fishermen.
The dense population and rapid growth of this section insure a constantly increasing demana for all kinds of farm products. In no line is the field crowded. Further investiga- tion will prove both interesting and profitable.
Gaston's Other Towns
Gaston County has the distinction of having the largest number of incorporated towns of any county in the state of North Carolina, all of them centers of varied industrial activities. Below is a list of these towns, with their 1930 Census totals:
Belmont 4,121
Lowell 1,664
Bessemer City
3,739
Dallas 1,489
Cherryville
. 2,756
Stanley 1,084
Mt. Holly
2,254
McAdenville 914
Cramerton, though not incorporated, is an important industrial town with a population of several thousand.
This brief summary gives only a few of the highlights of the industrial opportunities that exist today in Gastonia and Gaston County. Those desiring to take advantage of the opportunities in this hustling Piedmont city of the New South are invited to write directly to the Chamber of Com- merce at Gastonia.

TRADE!You like
to patronize those concerns who are in business to stay.
It's human to expect that such busi- ness establishments always stand back of the wares they sell.
The advertising in this Directory is suggestive of the stability and per- manency of the advertisers.
Frauds, fakes, get-rich-quicks and other schemers have little use for directory advertising. It lives too long.
The modern City Directory is a business institution. It occupies a place peculiarly its own. It is as necessary to the progress and de- velopment of a city generally as anything naturally would be which deals with such a fundamental as the citizens themselves.
If you are not advertising your busi- ness in the Directory, may we ex- plain how and why it will pay you?
