INTRODUCTION
Hill Directory Company, Inc., presents to its subscribers and to the
general publicthis (1928) editionoftheKinston (City) Directory.
Confidencein thegrowth of Kinston, in itswealth, industryand popula-
tion, 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 Kinston to the world.
The enviable place occupied by Hill Directory Company's, Inc., di-
rectories in offices, stores, libraries and homes throughout our country
causes the publishers to forecast the belief that the Kinston directory will
fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information of any and every
kind pertaining to our city. With an unrivaled organization having the
courteousandheartyco-operationofthebusinessand professionalmenand
residents, thepublishersfeel thattheresultoftheirlaborwill meetwith the
approval of every resklent of the city.
POPULATION
The estimated population of Kinston is 13,419, based on the numberof
individual names in the alphabetical section of the Directory, with due
allowance forwomen and children, whose names are not included. Terri-
tory immediatelyadjacent, which is partofthecity, asfarasbusinessand
social lifeareconcerned, isincluded in the Directory.
FOUR MAJOR DEPARTMENTS
Theseveral essential departments are arranged in the followingorder:
The Buyers' Guide, pages 17 to 40, printed on tinted paper, contains
theadvertisementsof theleading manufacturing, business and professional
interests of Kinston. These pages will be found particularly interesting
and instructive to the substantial elements of the city. The advertise-
ments have been carefully grouped by departments and are indexed under
headings descriptive of the business represented. This is reference adver-
tising at its best, and as such merits a survey by all buyers keen to prime
themselves on sources of supply. The city's activities, in many interest-
ing phases, are interestingly pictured to reveal what it has in its show win-
dow. In an ambitious and progressive community like Kinston the need
of this kind of information readily at hand is very great and frequently
pressing. General appreciation of this fact is evidenced by the liberal
patronage the City Directory enjoys in the many fieldswhich it serves.

INTRODUCTION—Continued.
The Alphabetical List ofNames ofresidents, business firms, corpora-
tions is included in pages41 to 260. (A new feature of this section is the
inclusion ofwives' names in parenthesis following that of the husband.)
The Street and Avenue Guide and Directory of Householders
covers pages 261 to 300. In thissection the namesof thestreets and ave-
nuesarearranged inalphabetical order; theresidencesand business houses
are arranged numerically under the name of each street and avenue, and
the names of householders and business concerns are placed opposite
the numbers.
The Classified Business Directory is included in pages 301 to 344.
This department lists the various manufacturing, mercantile and pro-
fessional interests in alphabetical order underappropriate headings. This
feature constitutes an invaluable and indispensable epitome of the busi-
ness interests of the community. "The Directory is the common inter-
mediary between buyerand seller." As such it plays nosmall partin the
daily doings of the business world. "More goods are bought and sold
through the Classified Business Directory Section than through any
other medium."
MUNICIPAL PUBLICITY
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the city,
depicting in truthful terms what it has to offeras a place of residence, as
a business location, as an industrial site, and as an educational center.
To give emphasis to their desire 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 larger cities of the
country, where they are readily available for free public reference and
serveasperpetualadvertisementsofKinston, forbusinessmen thecountry
