Wilmington's exportations and importations are large and ever-growing, which mark a successful port. As a cotton port, it handles a satisfactory volume. Its imports cover a large field in variety and come from practically every quar- ter of the globe. Wilmington ranks as the second largest

fertilizer and petroleum products port on the Atlantic Sea- board. Its volume of petroleum products is such that prac- tically 75% of the state's consumption passes through the port. Wilmington also has a tremendous volume of molasses

an enormous amount of lumber handled in both coast-wise


and foreign trade. Recent increase of port volume has been evidenced in large tobacco exports and growing imports of

sugar, with vast shipments of bromine and distribution of petroleum products.


Regardless of conditions, the past few years have wit- nessed big building operations. Among recent enterprises located here are several large fertilizer factories, North Car- olina Shipbuilding Co., Ethyl-Dow Chemical Co., Gulf States Creosoting Co., Taylor-Colquitt Co., manufacturing creosoted products, Atlantic Refining Co., American Molasses Co., Southland Mfg. Co., Chilian Nitrates Co., Barrett Co., Nehi Bottling Co., Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co, Standard Oil Co., Texas Co., Atlantic Refining Co., Gulf Refining Co., Cities Service Co., Pure Oil Co., National Oil Co., Shell Oil Co., Sinclair Oil Co., Repubic Oil Co., and North State Creosoting Co., thus supplementing the city's already large number of such in- dustries.


Wilmington is the natural gateway of North and South Carolina, intermediate between the whole territory and Richmond.


New Hanover County, of which Wilmington is the county seat, has scores of miles of shaded paved highways. A typical road scene near Wilmington is shown above.


Wilmington is North Carolina's major seaport city, the gateway of her commerce and trade. North Carolina is a vast state in area, larger than New York or Pennsylvania, and almost as large as New England. Wilmington is the natural distributing point for North Carolina and parts of South Carolina and Georgia. Think what it would mean if all New England had only one such distributing seaport, and it will then be realized why Wilmington must grow and is growing to meet the demands of this vast territory, the bountiful natural resources of which have hardly been touched.


From the Middle West the Panama Canal possibly is in more direct communication via Wilmington than by any other South Atantic seaport, and cargoes to and from Wil- mington are not subject to the dangers of Cape Hatteras.

Greenfield Lake and Gardens, owned by the City of Wilmington, have a five-mile scenic drive around the lake. These properties represent one of the finest municipal parks in the South.

INTRODUCTION


Wilmington is the center of one of the greatest vege- table-producing districts in the U. S. Comparatively few years ago no strawberries were raised except for domestic use; now Wilmington is the center of one of the largest strawberry-growing districts in the world. It is one of the largest lettuce-producing districts also, and a very large vegetable and peanut market.


Wilmington's outlets by rail and water are the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line systems; Wilmington, Brunswick & Southern Railway; the North Carolina Line; Norfolk, Baltimore & Carolina Line; Railway Express Agency, Inc., and foreign services. The two boat lines mentioned, each operate two services each week over the Intra-Coastal Canal between Wilmington, Norfolk and Baltimore.


Wilmington has a wonderful climate; no extreme heat or extreme cold. Average summer temperature, 78 degrees; average winter temperature, 48 degrees. The normal rainfall is 53 inches; average annual clear days, 132 (New York, rain-

fall, 44 inches; clear days, 118; New Orleans, rainfall 57 inches; clear days, 109). The mild climate and diversified opportunities made this city and section a haven for home- seekers.


The Wilmington district is one of the greatest trucking regions in the U. S., and the yield of these early crops is valued at nearly $18,000,000 annually.


Wilmington is the nearest Atlantic port to the Ohio gateways, and nearer Cincinnati than Charleston by fifteen miles, and Savannah, by thirty miles.


The city has immense terminals that can load sixteen ocean-going ships at one time, providing them with over 600,000 square feet of warehouse space.


In the first World War, Wilmington had two immense shipyards. It had the honor of possessing the only Govern- ment-owned steel shipyard in the South, and first Govern- ment-owned concrete yard in the country. These yards have been converted into important industrial centers. The activities of the present North Carolina Shipbuilding Co.

The commerce on the Cape Fear River at and below Wilmington amounted to 2,785,419 tons in a recent year.


Through courtesy of Fairchild Aerial Surveys, this excel- lent bird's-eye view of a cross-section of the city of Wil- mington is made available. In the front center may be seen the U. S. Custom House, with the Coast Guard Cutter Modoc moored at the wharf.


This shows a satisfactory and continuing increase in volume, and indicates the growing importance of the Port of Wil- mington.

INTRODUCTION


this port occupies a strategic position of advantage to those countries.


Cape Fear River never has ice, which permits year- around navigation, and the climate is never so cold that it makes outdoor work a hardship or discomfort.


Wilmington has many fertilizer factories, petroleum products terminals, lumber plants, wood creosoting plants, and a number of fish-packing plants, with large payrolls. It has the handsomest custom house in the South, costing more than $700,000. This city is the home station of the Coast Guard Cutter Modoc.


Wilmington has become a new and important inland waterway canal terminal since the completion, in the spring of 1932, of the extension from Beaufort to the Cape Fear River. This link provides accommodations for heavy traffic over a protected inland channel twelve feet deep and ninety


This early Colonial home still stands in Wilmington. It was built in the 1750's, and when Wilmington was captured by the British in 1781, served as headquarters for Lord Charles Cornwallis, commander of the invading forces. This property is now a shrine which attracts much attention.


feet wide, connecting up with points as far north as New York and Boston, and Miami, southward.


Wilmington has two immense cotton compresses and two marine railways. The steel shipyard operated during the first World War by the George A. Fuller Co. has been converted into an industrial center. The concrete shipyard property is owned by the City and will be developed into municipal wharves and public terminals and warehouses. This has been offered the State of North Carolina as a loca- tion for State-owned terminals and warehouses, whenever such are necessary. Wilmington now has one of the finest and most efficiently operated systems of private terminals at any Southern port, and the city's principal stevedoring corporation holds the record for all South Atlantic ports for quick dispatch of cargo.


With both water and rail transportation, thus affording quick hauls and low freight rates, and near the scenes of raw materials, Wilmington is a splendid spot for manufac-

turing industries. Two big railroad systems-the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line-place the city near the great coal fields and the iron-producing zones.


Wilmington has cotton and garment mills, wood and metal works, concrete concerns, creosoting factories, candy factories, machine shops, big fertilizer factories, sawmills, iol stations, etc. A fine cold storage plant is located here.


This is a leading banking center, local banks having total deposits of $55,377,000.


Jobbing business runs into many million dollars in value annually, and retail merchants do a wide business, as the city is the trading Mecca for a section containing 250,000 population.


City of big weekly payrolls. Annual payrolls normally about $14,000,000, distributed among thousands of employees, exclusive of the shipyard payroll of from $600,000 to $1,000,- 000 monthly.


Two very convincing reasons why Wilming- ton's splendid ocean resorts, Wrightsville, Carolina, Wilmington and Fort Fisher Beaches, attract thousands of visitors every season.


Headquarters of Atlantic Coast Line system, employing locally about 1,750 men and women. Monthly payroll of Coast Line nearly $300,000.


Wonderful year-around climate, and a health record praised by the U. S. Government.


The Wilmington section has crop-growing days to the number of 250, which is the equal of northern Mexico, though with the advantage of an ample and equable rainfall.


Wilmington is the terminus of six major highways of North Carolina's splendid good roads system, and the city is also an important point on the Ocean Highway extending from Portland, Maine, to Miami, Fla., the Calhoun Highway from Athens, Ga., and the Dixie Highway from Memphis, Tenn., to the ocean at Wilmington, and U. S. Routes 17, 74, 76, 117 and 421.

INTRODUCTION


Wilmington is a city of fine streets, fine parks, attractive homes, beautiful churches and modern schools, in a county netted by good roads, the superior not to be found anywhere. It is a place of up-to-date amusements, with some of the best beach resorts on the South Atlantic Coast within thirty minutes' ride of the city. Wrightsville Beach, eight miles east of the city, is an island resort of fame and renown. It is connected with the mainland by excellent half-hour bus service and causeway to Harbor Island just west of the beach. Carolina, Wilmington and Fort Fisher beaches, south of the city, are mainland resorts with many delightful attractions. Wilmington's four fine beaches are among the only mainland resorts on the North Carolina coast where one can drive directly to the ocean in an automobile. The four beaches attract approximately 500,000 visitors every summer.


The Greater Wilmington Chamber of Commerce is alive to the city's great advantages and is always eager to answer all questions and to extend hearty co-operation. Write the Chamber of Commerce for any information desired.
