INTRODUCTION
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 trol- ley service and causeway to Harbor Island just west of the beach. Carolina, Wilmington and Fort Fisher beaches, south of the city are the only resorts on the North Carolina coast where one can drive directly to the ocean in an auto- mobile. The four beaches attract approximately 300,000 visitors every summer.
The 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.

TRADE! You like
to patronize those concerns who are in business to stay.
It's human to expect that such busi- ness establishments always stand back of the wares they sell.
The advertising in this Directory is suggestive of the stability and per- manency of the advertisers.
Frauds, fakes, get-rich-quicks and other schemers have little use for directory advertising. It lives too long.
The modern City Directory is a business institution. It occupies a place peculiarly its own. It is as necessary to the progress and de- velopment of a city generally as anything naturally would be which deals with such a fundamental as the citizens themselves.
If you are not advertising your busi- ness in the Directory, may we ex- plain how and why it will pay you?
