Eastern North Carolina Encyclopedia
PREFACE
IN PRESENTING to the reader this "Encyclopedia" of Eastern North Carolina, we wish to emphasize the fact that the information contained herein about any county, is authentic. These facts of the various counties participating, have been carefully gone over by the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce officials to be sure that no extravagant statements have been made.
This organization, which has for its territory 46 counties in Eastern North Carolina, felt that a publication such as this, where the information could be regarded as authentic, is necessary. There are so many "facts" issued about different sections that have no substantial backing, the would-be-citizen becomes disgusted and is inclined not to believe any of them. But you may be assured that you are dealing with a reputable organization and that nothing will be misrepresented in these pages. We invite you to investigate the possibilities of Eastern North Carolina, "Where Prosperity is Perennial."
For further information about any part of Eastern North Carolina, please write,
