INTRODUCTION


The building itself is 371 feet long and 177 feet wide (outside dimensions), and will provide for an arena floor with a length of 311 feet 4 inches in the clear and a width of 107 feet 11 inches. The floor is entirely surrounded with a tier of balcony seats, which, together with the space available on the floor, will seat from 13, 500 to 15, 000 people.


Around the arena floor has been arranged a series of offices, classrooms and meeting rooms for lectures and meetings of small groups. Office space is provided in these rooms for the personnel of the Athletic Department of State College and the teaching personnel connected with the U. S. Army R. O. T. C. training program.


A portion of the basement provides rooms for athletic teams, together with showers, rooms for therapy and massage, and storage of athletic equip- ment. Also, provisions are being made for the installation of ice-making equip- ment so that this arena can be used for ice shows, ice hockey, and ice-skating by the students and other residents of the state.


All of the area adjacent to the stadium building has been set aside for auto- mobile parking to an extent which is believed will be adequate for all types of attendance.


This new structure very definitely is an asset to the business life of the Raleigh community and will attract people from all over the state to attend the various activities to be held in it.


HISTORIC RALEIGH


Raleigh abounds in historic eminence and noteworthy tradition. The first English settlement in America was made at Roanoke Island on the coast of North Carolina by Sir Walter Raleigh. The capital city of the state was named in his honor and in memory of this achievement.


The land upon which Raleigh had its beginning was purchased in 1792 as a location for the establishment of the state capitol. The first capitol building was completed in 1794 and destroyed by fire in 1831. The present building, over 100 years old, is a recognized example of Doric architecture with few equals. It is noted for its beauty and design.


The 17th President of the U. S., Andrew Johnson, was born here. This famous old home now stands as a shrine in Pullen Park.


The State Hall of History here, with its collection of North Carolina his- torical records and important archives, attracts much interest.


Wakefield, the home of Joel Lane, erected in 1760, is owned and pre- served by the Carolina Dames. This Colonial home was erected in the old town of Bloomsbury, which was the county seat of Wake County, in 1771.


The oldest bank building in North Carolina still stands on the property of Christ Church. It is the present rectory. It was built in 1795 as the State Bank.


Many visitors in Raleigh likewise are interested in monuments and mem - orials of famous North Carolinians on Capitol Square and in State department buildings.

Out of Sight -- Out of Mind Out of Business


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 per- sistently 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.
