Tarboreans are proud of the Commons, the only Com- mons south of Boston, a tract of land situated in the heart of the city, where stately oaks and flowering dogwood trees make it a place of beauty.
Adjoining Tarboro on the south is the Town of Prince- ville which is the only incorporated Negro community in the State. Princeville was incorporated in 1885.
Edgecombe County was formed in 1732. Bounded by Halifax, Martin, Nash, Pitt and Wilson counties, it is in the center of the Bright Leaf Tobacco belt of the Carolina Coastal Plain. Within its borders are five hundred and fif- teen square miles of rich agricultural land which produce

INTRODUCTION
tobacco, peanuts and cotton in great quantity. The sandy loam of Edgecombe County is ideal for the raising of flue- cured tobacco. This valuable crop is grown in all parts of the county and contributes materially to the wealth of this section. Plant disease is rare and the better grades of to- bacco predominate. Ranking sixth in the state in value of crops and livestock, Edgecombe County depends largely on the soil to maintain a relatively high per capita worth. Of the county population of fifty-five thousand, about seventy percent are engaged in agriculture and the raising of live- stock.
Ranking sixth in the state in value of crops and livestock, Edgecombe County depends largely on the soil to maintain a relatively high per capita income. About 70% of the county's 55,000 population are engaged in agriculture and the raising of livestock.
The social and civic life of Tarboro is active and very progressive with 17 civic and cultural clubs. The Hilma Country Club and American Legion hut are constantly in use.
There are two public libraries in Tarboro with book- mobile service for the county people. The new and modern Edgecombe County Memorial Library was dedicated in 1955 and contains 2,000 volumes and many valuable paintings.

PLEASE! Do Not Lend Your CITY DIRECTORY
IT COSTS YOU MONEY-Every Time it Is Loaned
The practice of lending your City Directory, in a great measure, is responsible for the increasing cost of Directory Service.
The reason is :-
There is a definite cost involved in the making of the DIRECTORY of Your City.
THIS COST MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE SUBSCRIBERS-BE THEY ONE-OR BE THEY 1000.
If there were but ONE SUBSCRIBER to the CITY DIRECTORY-THE ONE SUBSCRIBER would of necessity have to absorb THE WHOLE COST.
If there were 100 SUBSCRIBERS-each one would have to absorb 1/100th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.
If there were 1000 SUBSCRIBERS each one would have to absorb 1/1000th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.
From which it is obvious that the GREATER the number of subscribers -the LESSER the cost to each.
And
It is also obvious that the LESSER the number of subscribers-the GREATER the cost to each.
Every time you loan your City Directory the LESS NECESSITY THERE IS FOR THE BORROWER TO SUBSCRIBE FOR THE SERVICE.
MORE BORROWERS result in FEWER SUBSCRIBERS which means INCREASED COST.

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 product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised: *
The City Directory is the natural medium for keep- ing a business or product name in the spotlight: Insist on being well represented in its pages.

Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory?
You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few ques- tions, checked against City Directory information, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."

CAUTION ...
Pay no money in advance to itinerant Di- rectory canvassers. We are led to mention this from the fact that certain parties have been fraudulently using our publications as speci- mens, and by that means collecting money in advance. Before signing an order, see that it has the name of the publisher of this City Direc- tory printed thereon. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take advance payment for either advertising or subscriptions.
