Tn submitting Volume III of the Salisbury-Spencer City Direc- 

 tory, it is gratifying to note the progress that is being made in in- 

 dustries and growth of population. 



A great factor in the upbuilding of any city is its civic pride; the 

 fact that your citizens stand as a unit on everything that affects the 

 prosperity of your city is worthy of commendation. 



The City Directory is one of the foremost enterprises of any city; 

 it is generally referred to by the press of the whole country as a semi- 

 public institution of great value. 



The Directory is more than a mere list of names of residents, giving 

 their various occupations and addresses, it is an infallible guide to your 

 city, for your people and for the stranger within your gates. It not only 

 deals with your people, but with your government, your institutions and 

 various other organizations. It is a recognized standard work of refer- 

 ence and becomes the most reliable history of your city and its citizens. 

 As there is no other publication in the world which gives the informa- 

 tion as contained in the City Directory, there is probably no other publi- 

 cation in which all the people are so vitally interested. 



To gather the data and compile a volume of this character is no easy 

 task. It requires much time, a well defined system, the patience of Job 

 and incurs no little expense. Few people have any idea of the work it 

 means and the tenacity it takes to publish a reliable directory. 



In preparing this book the publishers have spared neither time nor 

 expense, and if errors occur or a single name is omitted which should 

 appear in the work, it is generally the fault of the public -and not of the 

 publisher, as every house is visited and it is not the publisher's or can- 

 vasser's fault if some one fails to give all the information or gives 

 it incorrectly. The intentions of the reliable publisher are always 

 for improvement, and you can always count on getting as accurate 

 a directory as circumstances will permit. 



The estimate of the population of a city is a matter necessarily en- 

 joined upon the directory publisher; such estimates, however, are not 

 merely theoretical, but based on facts, sustained by the contents of the 

 publication. 



This volume contains 6,826 names of individuals; using the con- 

 servative multiple 2'S times, to represent the names of married wo- 

 men and children not counted, indicates a population of 



17,065 



(This does not mean simply population inside the city limits, but 

 includes the three cities and all suburbs. 



In concluding, we desire to thank our patrons for their support and 

 to extend our thanks to the public in general for the courteous way in 

 which nearly everyone supplied our canvassers with the desired data. 

 We shall continue this publication from time to time to meet the de- 

 mand. Yours truly, 

 PIEDMONT DIRECTORY CO., ERXEST H. MILLER, Pres.
