facturing plants. Among these are plants manufacturing: Overalls, work shirts, men's summer clothing, mattresses, box springs, pillows, veneers, plywoods, art glass, paints, enamels, varnishes, lacquers, sealers, stains, fillers, undercoats and reducers, bobbin heads, shuttle blocks, building material, mirrors, glass fur- niture and novelities, toys, hosiery transfers, embossers' labels and seals, silk and rayon weaving, hosiery and underwear yarns, dyes, chemicals and textile oil specialties, paper boxes, corrugated shipping containers and a variety of other products.
The manufacturer will find in High Point many advantages so necessary for successful and profitable operation (this is proved by the successful opera- tion of plants now located here). Among these are climate (good living and working conditions); availability of intelligent native labor, 79.8% native white, 19.7% Negro, 0.5% foreign-born; harmonious industrial relations; efficient public utilities; adequate electric power, and modern municipal facilities.
Transportation
Located on main line of the Southern Railway System between Washington, D. C., and Atlanta, Ga.
On the High Point, Thomasville & Denton Railroad, a locally-owned and successful short-line railroad connecting, through the Winston-Salem South- bound Railroad, with the Norfolk & Western Railway, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Norfolk Southern Railroad, with through rates and service applying.

INTRODUCTION
Air service through the Greensboro-High Point Airport is furnished by East- ern Air Lines main line, Capital Air Lines and Piedmont Airlines.
Sixteen motor-freight lines operate out of High Point.
Charter and Form of Government
The original charter of the City of High Point was granted by the State Legislature in 1859. The present council-manager form of government was in- augurated by charter amendments in 1915 and 1931.
The present charter provides for a city council consisting of a mayor and eight councilmen.
High Point is operated under a modern city-manager charter which places responsibility for efficient operation of all departments upon the city manager and delegates to him authority commensurate with such responsibility.
The charter is unique in that the debt-creating power of the City Council is very greatly restricted. No new indebtedness may be created in any fiscal year in excess of 50% of the amount retired during the previous year, except by vote of the citizens. Under this plan, the indebtedness of the City will un- doubtedly decrease each year, and at the same time, such limitation will not prevent the logical development of municipal facilities.
Electric Distribution System
The City operates its residential and commercial electric system with con- siderable net profit. The City's charges for electric current sold to its residen- tial and commercial consumers are no greater than those charged for similar classes of service rendered by private utility companies operating in this area.
Education
HIGH POINT COLLEGE
Is young: Founded in 1924, it is building its own spirit and traditions today by the contribution of each student on its campus. Young people enrolling here are not bound by the past, but are building for the future.
Is progressive: Student government functioning through dormitory and day student council gives opportunity for student expression, guidance, respon- silibity and authority.
Has a curriculum designed to meet the needs of youth in our great democ- racy, comprehensive and elastic and at the same time sound and thoroughly witnessing the spirit of progress in education.
Is growing: the regular session of the last school year enrolled 795 and carried 427 in summer school and extension. Fifteen states and two foreign countries were represented in the student body. This is a most remarkable record for 27 years' operation.
Offers rates within the reach of the most ambitious youth of limited means.
Offers a beautiful campus; attractive, modern, fire-proof buildings; a com- petent faculty; adequate facilities; and an administration sympathetic with the testings that meet youth in college.
Is located in the heart of the Piedmont-at High Point, N. C.
Convenient to High Point are all the colleges and universities of the state. Time by automobile between High Point and such institutions ranges from 20 minutes to two hours.

For here, in addition to 299 factories and mills, are the banks, shops and stores which serve a local retail area of 85,000 popula- tion; here are broad, tree-shaded streets; here are the charm of flower gardens and the comfort of luxurious and modest homes.
