Guilford County is administered by a commission of five elected at large. It is generally regarded as one of the best- managed counties in the state, being fre- quently pointed to as a model by the North Carolina Institute of Government.


Greensboro, county seat, is adminis- tered by a non-partisan council of seven elected at large. The council employs a full-time experienced city manager. For many years the council has been com- posed of successful business and profes- sional men of demonstrated capacity in their private undertakings.


The council has directed municipal affairs upon well-established business principles uninfluenced by partisan po- litical considerations. Good manage- ment is reflected in nationally-recog- nized superiority in public health ad- ministration; reduction of fire losses and low insurance rates; the salability of mu- nicipal bonds; efficient police protection;

Greensboro is easily accessible to a 50-mile trade area having a population of approximately 1,500,000. Retail sales for the area were approximately $873,- 312,000 in 1950.


Greensboro is the principal market of the northern Piedmont. There are ap- proximately 1,500 retail, service and professional outlets, handling goods, wares and merchandise lines available in metropolitan centers.


Wholesale and agency establishments travel between 1,800 and 2,000 salesmen and agents and distribute a wide variety of merchandise over a much larger ter- ritory. The area served has greater pur- chasing power than comparable areas surrounding Richmond or Atlanta.


The home offices of several large in- surance companies, together with the territorial and general agencies of nu- merous national firms, offering all forms of coverage, have created an "insurance fraternity" which characterizes Greens- boro as the "Hartford of the South."


|Carolina conventions. Because Greens- boro is the focal point of the most dense- ly populated area in these three states, many organizations register larger at- tendance at Greensboro than elsewhere. Class "A" hotels offer every modern fa- cility.


Greensboro is territorial headquarters for many nationally-known firms.


Transportation

Religious and Social Features


The church as an institution has al- ways been a powerful and constructive force in the life of every neighborhood in Guilford County. The Quaker Meeting House at New Garden (now Guilford College) was established in 1752. Old Buffalo Presbyterian Church was estab- lished in Greensboro in 1756.


Colonial churches at Alamance, Deep River, Friedens and elsewhere in this county have made important contribu- tions to the development of fine charac- ter and strong citizenship.

Recreation

The extent to which people in all walks participate in outdoor pursuits is re- markable, and has a distinct influence on community health and well-being. Greensboro has repeatedly won national recognition in municipal health contests.


The World War Memorial and Senior

Don't Contribute to Counterfeiters KNOW YOUR MONEY!


Don't Be Fooled by Forgers KNOW YOUR ENDORSERS!


The Government never redeems counterfeit money!


1. KNOW YOUR MONEY! Study the bills you receive so as to become familiar with the workmanship on them, especially in the por- traits.


2. COMPARE a suspected bill with a genuine of the same type and denomination. Observe these things:


PORTRAIT


Counterfeit-Dull, smudgy, or unnaturally white, scratchy; oval background is dark, lines irreg- ular and broken. Portrait merges into the background.


Genuine-Stands out distinctly from the oval back- ground. Eyes appear lifelike. Background is a fine screen of regular lines.


COLORED SEAL


Counterfeit-Saw-tooth points around rim are usu- ally uneven, broken off.


Genuine-Saw-tooth points around rim are even and sharp.


SERIAL NUMBERS


Counterfeit-Poorly printed, badly spaced, uneven in appearance.


Genuine-Figures firmly and evenly printed, well spaced.


PAPER


Counterfeit-Generally has no silk threads, but these may be imitated by very small red and blue ink lines.


Genuine-Printed on distinctive paper in which very small red and blue silk threads are scattered. The silk threads are not always noticeable on bills that are badly soiled or worn.


3. RUBBING a bill on a piece of paper will not prove it is genuine or counterfeit; ink can be rubbed from good bills as well as bad ones.


4. CONSULT an experienced money-handler or police officer to make sure, if you are still in doubt, whether a bill is genuine or coun- terfeit.


5. REMEMBER, NOT ALL STRANGERS ARE COUNTERFEIT- ERS, BUT ALL COUNTERFEITERS ARE LIKELY TO BE STRAN- GERS.


This information is reprinted from the U. S. Secret Service 32-page booklet, "KNOW YOUR MONEY", which tells how to detect counterfeit coins and bills and how to guard against losses from forged Government checks. Copies may be pur- chased for 10c each, or $7.50 per 100, from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.
