INTRODUCTION
.
Baldwin Directory Company, Inc., publisher of your city directory, takes pleasure in
presenting the 1936 edition to the general public. A large force of trained enumerators
and solicitors worked diligently in the preparation of this volume and we are confident
that the result is an authentic and useful city directory.
-We have faith in the continued growth of your city and we believe
that our directory will take its place as one of the vital instruments for the advancement
of the community. Subsequent editions will be issued promptly and regularly.
This volume is an example of the ABCD type of city directory as originated and developed
by the Baldwin Directory Company, Inc. In the modern business world with its greatly
changed sales and credit systems, the old type of directory has become completely
obsolete. In adapting the directory to modern conditions the Baldwin organization is the
pioneer. The excellent city directory which your city now has is the result of the progressive
spirit of this company and its accurate interpretation of modern business requirements.
SEVEN DIVISIONS OF THE BOOK
The principal parts of the Baldwin Directory are as follows:
1. The Miscellaneous Directory contains a great deal of useful information concerning the
national, state and local governments. In it are listed the names of members of congress
and the state legislature, city and county officials.
2. The Buyers' Guide, Civic Section and Professional Blue Book
is made up of the advertisements of the leading business firms of the city, announcements
of churches, clubs, lodges, associations and schools, and professional card of public-spirited
lawyers, physicians and dentists. The display spaces have been carefully grouped and indexed
under headings which are descriptive of the business engaged in by each firm. The Buyers'
Guide, when properly arranged and distributed, is of tremendous value in the building of business
in the community.

3. The Resident Directory contains most of the data concerning the individual. The wife's
name is given in parentheses, and the number of dependents under 16 is shown as well
as the ownership of homes. This is followed by position, place of employment and home
address.
4. The Householders' Directory contains a complete directory of streets and avenues,
properly located, gives the names of all householders arranged as they come upon the
streets and avenues, indicates ownership of property.
5. The Business Directory and List of Nationally Advertised Brands
contains the names of all business firms, professional people and non-profit organizations,
properly classified. In this division are also listed the names of nationally advertised brands
of merchandise, with the name of the local agents and distributors.
6. The Numerical Telephone Directory contains telephone numbers arranged in numerical
sequence.
SPECIAL ABCD FEATURES
The following valuable information which appears in the ABCD type of directory is not to be
found in the old-style city directory.
Number of dependents under 16; Designation of home ownership. Telephone Numbers on
Street Guide. Numerical Telephone Directory. Nationally Advertised Brands.
In addition to these valuable features, the ABCD type of directory is more conservatively
styled, printed on better paper and more beautifully bound arranged for more convenient use
and contains a much more complete civic section. Directory stands are maintained in the
business district for the use of the general public.
THE HOUSEHOLDERS' SUPPLEMENT
After including every conceivable feature which would tend to make the directory as useful and
attractive as possible, the originators of the ABCD type of directory made one more bold
stroke — they established a guaranteed home circulation for all advertising matter by issuing
the Householders' Supplement and delivering it to the homes of the community. Every
advertisement which appears in a Baldwin directory also appears in the Householders'
Supplement, making the Baldwin Directory "America's greatest dollar-for-dollar advertising
medium" today.

New Bern
NORTH CAROLINA
PAST
NEW BERN, second oldest North Carolina town was settled in 1710 by Swiss and
German colonists. Baron Christopher deGraffenried, was their leader. New Bern
was named for Berne, Switzerland and the town became the county seat of Craven
County, named after the Earl of Craven.
Tryon Palace was built in 1767-1770 and burned in 17.98, and only one wing still
stands. Royal Governor William Tryon resided there, succeeded by Royal Governor
Josiah Martin. There also, on August 25, 177-1 met the first provincial convention in
North Carolina, called in defiance ot Royal Proclamation, second in America.
Washington and many other notables were entertained there. Richard Caswell, first
Governor and other first State officials under an independent North Carolina, were
inaugurated in this first State Capital. The First State General Assembly met there
on April 7, 1777.
James Davis established the first printing press in North Carolina' here in 1749, and
here was published jthe first newspaper, first pamphlet and first book in the province.
It was also in this city that the first Incorporated Academy was established. Opened
in 1764 and received a state charter two years later, the second private secondary
school to receive a charter anywhere in English America. Later the first free school
of the province.
Here, too, the first ship in North Carolina was constructed and launched. The first
celebration of Independence Day in North Carolina and one of the very first in America,
took place here. Observing the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on the
second anniversary, New Bern people joined in a spirited public celebration on July 4,
1778. New Bern is believed to be one of the first towns anywhere to celebrate George
Washington's Birthday.

New Bern is noted far and wide for its colonial architecture, some of which is called the
most formidable in the nation and has received nation-wide publicity, and fifty places of
Historic Interest have been marked.
