Population Increase
Wilmington's population, within its city limits, increased rapidly between 1940, when it was 33,407, and 1950, when it was 45,043. Present population of New Hanover County is estimated at 72,500 and that of Wilmington is estimated at 54,500.
Industry, Transportation, Trade, Agriculture
The economic life of the Wilmington area within the last few years has been undergoing a material change. This change has been due chiefly to the enlarging of existing manufacturing plants and the erection of new ones in the immediate territory. Wilmington has become justly famous for the handling and conversion of timber, petroleum, asphalt and fertilizer products; the fabrication of marine boilers, and the manufacture of hosiery, shirts, plush, velour, and paper products.
A recent factor that added to the industrial life of this area was the new steam generating plant of the Carolina Power and Light Company. This new plant assures more than an adequacy of electric power for the Wilmington area, for some time to come. The magnitude of this plant affords expansion also for other areas of southeastern North Carolina. Plans of the company contemplated expansion of the Coastal Plain area in that local installations were designed for four units. Two generating units have been installed, which normally develop 300,000 horsepower. Also, the Tidewater Gas Company has announced plans for the bringing in of natural gas to Wilmington and several other communities. Company officials contemplate that all details connected with the sale of natural gas in this area will be consumated at an early date.

INTRODUCTION
With both water and rail transportations thus affording quick hauls and low freight rates, and near the sources of raw materials, Wilmington is a splendid spot for manufacturing industries. Two big railroad systems-the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line-place the city near the great coal fields and iron-producing zones.
Wilmington is the center of one of the greatest vegetable-producing districts in North Carolina. It produces nearly $2,000,000 in early crops, bulbs, flowers and truck crops.
Comparatively few years ago no strawberries were raised except for do- mestic use; now Wilmington is the center of one of the largest strawberry- growing districts in the South. It is a very large vegetable and peanut growing area (250 growing days per year, and equable rainfall).
Wilmington is the headquarters of the Atlantic Coast Line System.
The Port of Wilmington in Relation to Foreign Trade
Wilmington possesses a fresh-water harbor about thirty miles from the mouth of the Cape Fear River. It is open to navigation on a 24-hour basis, the river being adequately equipped with lights for night navigation. Ice conditions are unknown, and fair weather generally is prevalent. A deep-water channel of 34 feet is provided, insuring safe passage of deep-draft vessels, from the mouth of the river to Wilmington. Satisfactory turning basins are provided for the largest freighters afloat, and vessels from Europe, Latin-America, Africa and ports in other foreign countries call at Wilmington. In addition, there are vessels calling from the West Indies, and there is a projection for intercoastal and Far Eastern services.

INTRODUCTION

Excellent rail facilities, afforded by two major railroads, are available for the satisfactory distribution of import commodities throughout the state of North Carolina and through the interior of the U. S. Wilmington, as a port, also is a focal point for export shipments, not only from North Carolina, but nearby and Mid-Western states. The import and export traffic through the Port of Wilming- ton is heavy and ever-increasing, which marks a successful port. Large quan- tities of tobacco, cotton goods, fertilizer materials, lumber products, food- stuffs and other commodities are handled regularly for export. The imports are varied. Vast quantities of petroleum products are shipped regularly into Wilming- ton for distribution throughout the state. Nitrate materials, sulphur, molasses, sugar, hardwoods, burlap and additional commodities constitute the bulk of the import traffic.
Recently the new facilities of the North Carolina State Ports Authority were dedicated, which are capable of handling three ships of the size of C-2 vessels at one time. The most modern handling equipment is used, and there are transit sheds aggregating 145,800 square feet of space and storage warehouse of 89,100 square feet. These terminals are the most modern of their kind on the Atlantic Seaboard and are properly equipped for the expeditious handling of either truck or rail traffic. The new terminals were constructed at a cost of $5,500,000 and it is considered that they will be a great asset in influencing future business to and from the Port of Wilmington. $2,500,000 will be spent in 1958 for new con- struction.
The city has, in addition to the new terminal facilities, some 600,000 more square feet of terminal warehouse space and wharves available, which will ac- commodate twelve ocean-going ships at one time.
Wilmington is North Carolina's major seaport city and the gateway of the State's commerce and trade. North Carolina is vast 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. The port of Wilmington is the nearest Atlantic port to the Chio gate- ways, and nearer Cincinnati than the competitive Port of Charleston by 15 miles.
The port is being located south of Hatteras, vessels are assured safety when operating from Latin-America and other countries south of the U. S., and it is in a very strategic position.
Wilmington is rapidly becoming an important port as far as inland waterway traffic is concerned, and is being served regularly by barge lines which operate from Northern points as well as those to and from Florida ports.
Wilmington is the terminus of six major highways of North Carolina's splendid good roads system, and the city also is an important point on the Ccean Highway extending from Portland, Maine, to Miami, Fla .; the Calhoun Highway from Athens, Ga .; the Dixie Highway from Memphis, Tenn., to the ocean of Wilming- ton, and U. S. Routes 17, 74, 76, 117 and 421.

INTRODUCTION
Bluethenthal Field is one of the most modern and efficient to be found between New York and Miami. It has two intersecting paved runways of 7,000 feet in length, and a cross runway of 10,000 feet. It accommodates jet aircraft as well as modern commercial aircraft operated by Piedmont Air Lines and National Airlines on scheduled flights. The entire airport area is 1,200 acres, with a modern administration building. Bluethenthal Fielditself is serviced by the latest ILS equipment. The U. S. Weather Bureau office is located at the field, and reports are available on a 24-hour basis. Transient aircraft and aircraft of the Armed Services are always welcome to use this ultra-modern facility.
An Ideal Place to Live
Wilmington has a wonderful climate; no extremes of heat or cold. Average summer temperature, 78 degrees; average winter temperature, 48 degrees. The normal rainfall is 53 inches; average annual clear days, 132 (New York rainfall, 44 inches; clear days, 118. New Crleans, rainfall, 57 inches; clear days, 109). The mild climate and diversified opportunities make this city and section a haven for homeseekers.
Wilmington is a city of fine streets and parks, attractive homes, beautiful churches and modern schools, in a county netted by good roads. 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 five 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 five beaches attract approximately 100,000 visitors every summer.

Salt and fresh water in the Wilmington area provide unparralleled sources of recreation and enjoyment. 114 recorded sailfish catches off Wrightsville Beach, during the summer of 1957 was quite a record.

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.
