The City of Raleigh, in the County of Wake, was born like the hero in mythology, full armed; that is to say, its site was purchased with the public funds, its location hav- ing been determined by the State Convention, under the order of which the General Assembly or Legislature acted. Its streets were named by the Convention and the special commissioners named by the General Assembly; not named in a casual way, but in honor of notable men and for the eight superior court districts. In like manner the public squares were for men to whom the State was deeply indebted for its independence and other matters.
So it is that the Raleigh of today, established, bought and paid for March 30, 1792, is the consummation of a well-laid and definite plan. When President Washington reached Newbern in his tour through North Carolina in the spring of 1791, he set down in his dairy that he was about 150 miles eastward of the place where the permanent cap- ital was to be, on a site bought with public funds, as Wash- ington, in the District of Columbia was to be. The plan pleased and impressed him greatly. Perhaps he may have played no small part in the idea, as he did in the case of the present national capital.
Raleigh, like Washington City, made a small begin- ning. Washington was called for many years the "City of Magnificent Distances." It was tiny, the Capitol and the Presidents' house were but poor structures, its streets were mud in wet weather and dust in dry. So Raleigh had its flimsy and uncouth capitol building begun in 1793 and finished so it would be occupied in November, 1794.
Fires several times did damage to private property in Raleigh, one consuming a tenth of the buildings; another destroying the first capitol. The smallness of Raleigh per- sisted until the war of 1861-65 came, for and some years afterwards. The first modern building after the State Cap-
13
INTRODUCTION
itol was finished in 1840, was the post office and federal court building in 1888. Really not until after 1900 did the city's aspect change much. It was largely a residential town. The building of the present capitol did not lead to other permanent architecture of importance, nor did the erection of the second state building, the asylum for the insane, in 1853-57 or the State School for the Blind and Deaf, in 1847.
Raleigh's Substantial Growth
In 1907 the completion of the Masonic Temple marked the coming of fire-proof buildings and then came 1911-15, with the third State building, for the State Library, Su- preme Court and Historical Commission ; the Citizens, Commercial and Raleigh Banking and Trust buildings, and the city auditorium. In fact most persons, asked when Raleigh really began to grow, reply "when it built the anditorium." The latter fixed it as the convention city of the State, for all the greater public gatherings.
Its first school was St. Mary's, built prior to 1840, 30 years later came Peace Institute and then about 1900 Meredith College, in the way of white institutions, while the negro ones, Slaw and St. Augustine's, date from 1867. Not until about 1890 did the State Agricultural and Mech- anical College come into being. The State Prison was be- gun in 1869 and finished a number of years later, the Sol- diers' Home, unimportant buildings of wood, was occupied in 1891. In 1876, after a great notable celebration of the 4th of July, the old "Palace" of the Governors, long unoc- cupied, was secured for the first graded school. Some 20 years later the first high school was established in a build- ing on the site of the "Palace."
The end of the World War gave another impetus, like that of 1911-15, and then came what may be termed the greater hospital for the insane and epileptics, the school for the blind, the agricultural building, the Agricultural and Engineering College, the Odd Fellows Temple, the new Meredith College and public schools, modern and fireproof, a million dollar hotel, the Sir Walter, a great extension of area and such other structures along all lines as had been undreamed of, the proper paving of the streets, and the advent of the most wonderful highway system in the South.
Progressive Capital City
Raleigh awoke New Year's Day, 1925, to find itself no longer a town but a city; a place with a dual responsibil- ity; to its citizens but even more to North Carolina, which had conceived the great plan for it, bought the "unalter- able site" and nobly laid out the place, the only one in all America thus established.
In a county named in almost the last days of royal government for a lady of the family of the next to the last royal governor; in almost the precise geographical center of the State and near its present population center; in the region where the lower Piedmont and the Coastal Plain

INTRODUCTION
adjoin, its planning was at once noble and practical, while its growth has been in recent years so excellent as to show the wisdom of the forefathers of 1792 in laying it out with wide streets and large public squares.
All the romance of the first City of Raleigh, 1587, lin- gers in the present one. It is at the crossing of the roads, north to south and east to west, as it has been for nigh 150 years. Many of the State's greatest highways lead to it. It is midway between New York and Florida.
At no other capital in all the United States are there so many state institutions. The growth of public build- ings, federal, state, county and city, as well as business houses, churches, schools, and homes have been well con- ceived and admirably carried out.
Chamber of Commerce
The Raleigh Chamber of Commerce functions most efficiently, having a membership devoted to the cause of community advancement in all that bears on the essential progress of the city. A spirit of unity prevails that is in- spiring in its application to civic problems. Thus, econ- omic, industrial, mercantile, municipal and social ques- tions receive the consideration each deserves. Through the Chamber the aggressive and optimistic citizen speaks and he has an audience quite in sympathy with the loyal attitude he assumes. Every enterprise is fostered. Heads of industries seeking a location are invited to correspond with the secretary.
Library of Directories
Through the courtesy of the publishers of this Direc- tory the Chamber of Commerce has a library of City Direc- tories of the leading cities of the United States for free use by the public. These Directories are used by people de- siring to locate friends or business connections in other cities. There is not a day passes that these Directories are not in use by the general public. This library is be- ing added to each month, and the public is invited to make the fullest use of this service.
MUNICIPAL PUBLICITY Advertising Raleigh
An important function of the Directory is to set forth the characteristics and advantages of the city as a place of residence, as a business location, as an industrial site and as an educational center. The Directory acts as a mirror, reflecting all that is noteworthy in the city in the above respects. In order to spread this information re- garding the city broadcast over the country the publishers place copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Li- braries which are maintained in all the larger cities of the country, where they are readily available for reference use by the public. There they serve as perpetual advertise- ments of Raleigh, for business men the country over realize that the City Directory represents the community as it really is.

The publishers take this opportunity of thanking the citizens for valuable assistance rendered in the way of fur- nishing information concerning themselves for this Direc- tory, and also the public-spirited and progressive business and professional men for support given in the way of patronage.
