The work embodies all available and vital data relating to the civic, commercial, financial, social and industrial interests and activities of the municipality, and the publishers add their assurance that the work is complete in all its parts. The publishers enjoy the prestige and advantage of a complete organization and thorough system essential in the production of direc- tories and the additional advantage of having the courteous co-operation of citizens in furnishing information. These factors, added to the liberal support of patrons as shown by the advertisements displayed upon the printed page, were vital to the success of the publication. Confidence in the growth of Siler City, in its wealth, industry and population, as well as in the advancement of its municipal and social activities, will be created as sections of this directory are consulted, for truly, the directory is a mirror reflecting Siler Ciy to the world. Your attention is invited to those names appearing in DISPLAY BLACK TYPE throughout the directory, as they are the responsible enterprising, advertising business men who take pride in sustaining the city directory and who have made this publication possible. POPULATION The 1962 population of Greater Siler City is 6,211, based on the number of individuals found by actual canvass at each residence. Territory immediately adjacent, which is part of the city, as far as business and social life are concerned, is included in the directory. FIVE MAJOR DEPARTMENTS The several essential departments are arranged in the following order. THE MISCELLANEOUS DIRECTORY, containing valuable informa- tion concerning State and National Governments. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, listing telephone sub- scribers by telephone numbers, can be found beginning with page 33. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES contains data concerning each individual, firm and corporation within the city. The wife's name is given in parenthesis and is followed by position, place of employ- ment and resident address. THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY contains the various INTRODUCTION names of all manufacturing, mercantile and professional interests in alphabetical order under appropriate headings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indispensable epitome of the business interests of the community. THE STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE contains a complete directory of streets and avenues arranged in alphabetical order; the residences and business houses are arranged numerically under the name of each street and avenue, and the names of householders, with the number of occupants, and business concerns are placed opposite the numbers. MUNICIPAL PUBLICITY The directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the city depicting in truthful terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as an industrial site and as an educational center! To. broadcast this information over the country, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the directory in Directory Libraries, which are maintained in all the chief cities of the country. Here they are readily available for free public reference and serve as perpetual advertisements of Siler City, for business men the country over realize that the city directory represents the community as it really is. The modern City Directory is a business institution. It occupies a place peculiarly its own. It is necessary to the progress and develop- ment of a city. The advertising in this Directory is suggestive of the stability and permanency of the advertisers. You like to patronize those concerns who are in business to stay because such business establish- ments stand back of the wares they sell; it is a noteworthy fact that concerns which advertise one year in the City Directory are there again next year. Directory advertising is profitable. SOUTHERN DIRECTORY CO. PUBLISHERS 15 Rankin Avenue Asheville, N. C.

"BALANCED FOR PROGRESS" PREFACE Siler City is a small, progressive town located near the geographical center of North Carolina. With a population of about three thousand within the corporate limits and another thousand in the immediate suburban area, Siler City is the largest town in Chatham County. The terrain is gently rolling and the climate is very favorable. In the twenty-six year period covered by the weather records, no single day's snowfall has amounted to as much as one foot, and the greatest depth on the ground at any one time was only ten inches.
