Bird's eye View of the Central Part of Columbus, G a., with a Section of Phenix City, Ala., in the Fore- ground INTRODUCTION XI Broadway, Street in Downtown Columbus, Which Is Characterized by Its Wide Streets with Their Beauty Enhanced by the Planting of Trees and Shrubs Aerial View of Columbus, Looking North, Showing the Chattahoochee River in the Background XII INTRODUCTION The only boom time experienced by this city was in its earliest days. Columbus was bom in 1828 in virgin forests that had -just been vacated by the Indians. And what an exciting birth it had! The new city, established by the Georgia Legislature as a trading center, was laid off in an unbroken forest by State engineers, who have left Columbus a wonderful heritage of wide, straight streets, tree-lined parkways. Building lots in the new town were offered for sale in July, 1828. That July the town was packed with people, who camped in tents or slept under the trees, and the bidding was lively. Indians, who were exiled across the Chattahoochee River in Alabama and weren't permitted to cross into Georgia except in the daytime, sometimes came to Columbus 1,000 strong to watch the goings-on. Within two weeks, 488 city lots had been sold. By November the frontier town had three hotels; 100 frame buildings, one of them three stories high; and a population of between 700 and 1,000. Within twenty years, Columbus had outgrown every city in the state except Savannah and Augusta, and by the time of the War Between the States had become one of the chief industrial centers of the South. By that time it had become highly industrialized, especially in the fields of textiles and hard goods and was second only to Richmond as a source of military supplies. Columbus is the site of the last battle of the Civil War east of the Mississippi. Poor Communications slowed the word of Lee's capitulation until a week after it was made. Consequently, in the capture of Columbus by the Union forces--a week after the surrender--mills and public buildings were destroyed and 1,200 men were taken prisoners. Columbus appreciates its past, but is not handicapped by it. The city looks forward, not backward. It was laid out to be a trading center, and today fulfills that purpose constantly. It now is the retail center for an area embracing 22 Georgia and Alabama counties containing more than one-half million persons--an area larger than the State of New Jersey. Early in its history Columbus acquired the first of many nicknames it later was to receive--"The Lowell of the South." The abundant power of the Chattahoochee River furnished the impetus for Columbus to enter the cotton textile field, which opened here early and grew rapidly. At the head of navigation of the river, Columbus soon became one of the South's largest inland ports and a leading market for raw cotton. At times there were as many as 16 steamboats on the river hauling cotton down to the Gulf of Mexico. Today textile mills provide employment for over 10,000 persons in Columbus, with a yearly payroll of approximately $29,000,000. While Columbus now is the second largest textile center in the South, by no means does it depend on that industry alone. The city's manufacturers--some 140 of them--produce a wide diversity of items ranging from soft drinks, candy and hosiery to kitchen stoves and caskets. The world's first ice-producing machine was turned out in Columbus in 1873. FORT HENNING Fort Benning, the Infantry Center of the Army, and often called "The World's Most Complete Army Post," has aided greatly in spreading Columbus' name throughout the world. Established just outside the city in 1918, Fort Benning now sprawls over 189,000 acres. Here some 1,000,000 officers and men were A Scene at One of Columbus* Busy Railroad Yards. The City Is Served by Seven Lines of Three Major Systems. INTRODUCTION XIII Eagle & Phenix Mills Lummus Cotton Gin Co. trained during World War II. A permanent installation, Fort Benning in war, peace, or police-action, trains officer candidates and paratroopers as well as infantry specialists in all lines. Its annual payroll is now in the vicinity of $112,000,000. Columbus' association with Fort Benning and its neighbor, Lawson Army Air Field, brought it another nickname, "Mother-in-Law of the Army." The two communities are closely akin. Some Columbus citizens belong to the Officer's Club, where life-time friendships are formed. Thousands of Benning soldiers live in Columbus. Almost all of them spend money here, making a sizable contribution to the city's economy. Columbus shows its gratitude with genuine hospitality, by supporting service clubs, Y.M.C.A.'s and other organizations, to provide wholesome off-duty enjoyment. INTRODUCTION XIV Throughout the years of the Columbus-Fort Benning alignment, most of the senior officers of the Army have served at Benning. Many of them married Columbus girls. Now the city points with pride to the title. "Mother-in-Law of the Army." Columbus is now the home of hundreds of persons who first knew of the city during their tours of duty in the Army. They liked the friendly atmosphere and decided to make Columbus their permanent home upon retirement or discharge. Proof of the harmonious relationship between the two communities can be pointed out in the valuable assistance rendered by military officials in 1952, when Sunshine Biscuits, Inc., was considering Columbus as the site of its planned $6,000,000 Southeastern plant. Benning officials aided greatly the Columbus Chamber of Commerce in working out certain problems concerning the use by Sunshine of a government-owned railroad which had been built to service only the Post. Columbus points with pride to this as one of the many times when mutual understanding on the part of both the civilian and military community has paid off huge dividends for the entire area. Recreation While the hustle and bustle of business is constantly felt throughout the city, the recreational side of life in Columbus never is neglected. Abundant facilities for sports and other forms of relaxation are within access to all. The city maintains a full-time, paid recreation department which plans and coordinates a year-around program. In addition, there are golf courses, amusement parks, theatres, night clubs, spacious fair grounds, and a new, air-conditioned public library containing 167,000 volumes (including branches). Hunting and fishing in the area are excellent. A modern football stadium with a seating capacity of 25,000 people is the scene of numerous high school and college games, and a new Municipal Auditorium seats 4,500 people. One of the Bibb Mfg.

Roosevelt State Park and the Ida Cason Callaway Gardens. The Roosevelt State Park contains over 2,000 acres, where facilities include lakes, swimmm pools, picnic areas with grills, and trails leading through the beautiful pine-wooded area. Atop Pine Mountain, inside the State Park, is a rustic lodge with hotel and dining facilities for those who don't bring their own food. Adjacent to the park is Ida Cason Callaway Gardens, built around seven lakes named for birds-- Mockingbird, Whippoorwill, and so on. Fishing and boating are two of the highlights here. Down at the clubhouse, modeled after a 17th Century provincial inn, one can enjoy his golf game. The nine-hole course flanks the lake on every fairway and is one of the most interesting courses in the country. The Gardens were designed for beauty, and it is visible at every turn. Each lake is banked with wild or cultivated flowers. In your car, you can take a five-mile scenic drive through dark pine forests, giving way to occasional glimpses of the water. A beautiful white sand beach and swimming lake is a recent addition.

These schools are well staffed with efficient teachers and are a credit to the city. Also finished in 1950 was the W. C. Bradley Memorial Library, erected at a cost of $250,000. It includes air-conditioning, vast facilities for reference and research, and modern innovations such as phonograph records service and film and filmstrips. Sunshine Biscuits, Inc.

With diversity of industry, and progressive citizens who pride themselves in their homes, schools, churches, recreational facilities and hospitality, modern transportation, health and communication facilities of all types, a splendid climate, and an efficient government, there can be no doubt that this is an extraordinarly progressive city. The Chattahoochee River--a prime consideration in the selection of the present site of the city should in the next few years return to an important role of influence in the development of Columbus. Works is well under way on the Chattahoochee-Apal achicola-Flint River project which will make the Chattahoochee navigable, with a nine-foot channel all the way to Columbus. Columbus future will be tied closely with the project, which will assure that Columbus again becomes a river port enjoying the benefits of low-rate water transportation. Completion date is 1962. With these examples in mind, it is clear that Columbus, Georgia, is on the threshold of still greater things to come. INTRODUCTION XIX Muscogee County Court House St. Francis Hospital One of Columbus' Many Beautiful Tree-Shaded Residential Areas Developments in Russell County and Phenix City "The All American City 1955' With excellent roads and a good school system, Russell County stands among the South's most developed counties. Rich in resources and geographically in the "Heart of the South , the realizations of Russell County have just begun. Its area totals 639 square miles, the home of 44,000 people. HISTORY This county in Alabama history rates second only to Mobile. Long the capital of the powerful Creek Indian Tribe, Russell was first visited by the Europeans in 1698. The first federal road bed came through it, and the body of Alabama s first congressman lies in the military cemetery at Fort Mitchell. DAIRYING. TIMBER and ROW CROPS Dairying heads the agricultural field having achieved immense growth during the past ten years. More than $1,500,000.00 annually comes into Russell County through these modern dairies. The thousands of acres of fine timber are hauled in our own mills, where both southern pine and hardwood are processed and shipped throughout America. The South recognizes that Russell County's fine timber has become known as quality lumber. Rich in fertile soils, its wonderful warm climate makes row crops real money makers. Major row crops are cotton, corn and peanuts. Truck farming is also most advantageous. For this reason you can readily understand how the people of Russell County can own new automobiles and modern homes, and maintain a high standard of living. STREETS.

Total mileage of paved streets in the city now is 65. Transportation in Phenix City is served by two railroads (Seaboard Air Line and Central of Georgia), four interstate bus lines, and local bus service, operating on twenty-minute schedules, Numerous taxicabs are in operation between Phenix City and Columbus, with a 25c rate to a point determined by the distance and route. Sanitary and health conditions existing in Phenix City are of highest standard. The County maintains a complete and full-time staff of physicians, nurses and sanitary inspectors. Industry and industrial products include agriculture and textiles, woodwork, brick pottery tile iron products, candy and bank and office fixtures. Building expansion in recent years included the First Federal Savings & Loan Association's new building, Wofford Oil Co., three new Texaco stations, two new Standard Oil stations, three new tourist courts, Alabama Power Co.'s new and modern office, and a vast church expansion program. Also the new Phenix Lithographing Plant, and numerous small industries. Phenix City has an assessed valuation of over $20,000,000, with a city area of more than six square miles. It is the county seat of Russell County, and has a county tax rate of $1.05 and city rax rate of $1.20. New industries are offered an exemption up to ten years. The new Russell County Court House and Russell County Jail, located at Phenix City, represent an initial investment, respectively, of $500,000 and $150,000, and are among the most modernly equipped public buildings in the entire South. The new Phenix City Post Office represents a Federal expenditure of approximately $65,000. Phenix City is the smallest city in the U. S. to receive white and colored Federal Housing Authority housing projects totaling over $4,500,000 in value. The white project known as the Riverview Court Apartments, has been completed, and the colored project, known as the Frederick Douglass Apartments, also is completed. The Housing Authority of the City of Phenix City has a total of 672 public low-rent dwelling units, management, community and maintenance facilities at a total cost of $4,009,000. A new 200-unit Federal housing project for colored people is ready to begin construction during 1960. The Riverview Court Dixie Brick Co. Apartments, for whites, has 390 dwelling units and Frederick Douglass Homes for Negroes has 282 dwelling units. The local Authority is serving as the local agency for the Urban Renewal Administration. Final planning state is near completion for redevelopment of 16 1/4 acres, in the county court house area, for a modern shopping center to be known as the Phenix Shopping Plaza. This is now in the process of being started and it should be finished in 1960 or early 1961. It will be a shopping center in the heart of Phenix City, only two blocks from Broad St. in Columbus, just across the state line. An all-out industrial drive is put forth by the Phenix City Chamber of Commerce, seeking new industry. Brochures and hundreds of personal letters are written to prospective new industries, telling ol Phenix City's many advantages. The municipal government is composed of three commissioners, including a mayor-commissioner. The police, fire and street departments are completely equipped and adequate for the needs of the municipality. The Idle Hour, a City-owned recreational park, is located three miles from the heart of Phenix City. This center offers practically every form of clean indoor and outdoor recreation. Among them are swimming, boating, bowling, skating, picnics, rides, horseback-riding, fishing, target games, dancing, and many other sports. INTRODUCTION XXV Lakewood Park, located three miles from Phenix City, off Summerville Road, is municipally-owned and is part of the City recreation program. The lake itself consists of about forty acres, surrounded by a beautiful wooded section of about 400 acres. Among the principal forms of recreation are fishing, boating, swimming, picnicking, archery and badminton. The Boy and Girl Scout camps are near the lake, and these two organizations enjoy all privileges free of charge. This reservation is open to the public, and a nominal charge is made for the different forms of recreation, for maintenance expenses only. Phenix City has an excellent recreation department, with a paid manager,assistant manager, janitor and other workers. The Recreation Board, composed of five members, has control of Lakewood Park operations, in which outstanding achievements have been recorded. Lakewood, a natural park, draws many thousands for picnics, swimming, hiking, boating and fishing. Phenix City Lions Club is now building a 9-hole Golf Course in the Lakewood Park area. This to be completed in early 1961. Active clubs include the Chamber of Commerce, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Lions, Rotary, Sertoma, Civitan Club, Kiwanis Club, Moose Club, American Federated Garden Clubs, Women's Civic Club and C Club (Central High School graduates). The American Legion has more than 1,000 members, and is the sixth largest post in the state. All of the civic clubs participated in some form of community improvement and fun the past years. The Phenix City Lions Club was most active, with proceeds pledged for continued work in sight conservation. The Junior Chamber of Commerce won first place over the nation in its "Come to Church Program.'' Christmas in Phenix City was colorful, with scenes and lights strung along the Court House wings, under the sponsorship of the Phenix Merchants Association. Successful promotional work has been conducted by the Phenix City Chamber of Commerce. News bulletins, industrial indexes, color folders, picture cards and other advertisements distributed over the entire nation are paying big dividends. There is a Senior Employment Service office in Phenix City, capable of supplying the labor needs of Russell County. In a recent year, more than 1,300 persons used these services, either filing for employment, registering for unemployment compensation, seeking advice or information from the department, or securing war veterans' benefits. All of the city uses the services of the employment agency, and many placements are made through it. Direct bus service is in operation on ten-minute schedules from Phenix City and Columbus. Phenix City has two modern movie theatres. There are several fine theatres in the metropolitan area. No resume of Phenix City's history would be complete without mentioning the highlight of the last battle of the Civil War east of the Mississippi River, which'was fought on Ingersoll Hill breastworks located within the city limits of Phenix City. These breastworks are still intact and standing. The Phenix City Chapter of T. A. U. D. C. is now engaged in a nation-wide campaign to perpetuate the memory of this momentous event in American history, with a singing, memorial tower to be erected on the exact spot the breastworks now occupy. Land has been donated or otherwise acquired, and architects' plans and specifications for the tower have been approved. The memorial, which will be constructed of Alabama marble or granite will contain acoustical chimes and pipe organs, which will be synchronized to broad- Phenix Chamber's Tourist Bureau cast at intervals. Specifications call for a four-way electrical clock and revolving beacon light to be installed in the turret of the tower. This project will represent an expenditure of approximately $25,000. It should serve to preserve the ideals of liberty of the American people and perpetuate the national unity as a fitting memorial to posterity. A renewed effort was put forth by the Daughters of the Confederacy to place the memorial tower on Ingersoll Hill in 1950. The Hawthorne Apartments were constructed at a cost of $350, 000 in 1950. This 52-unit construction is privately-owned and houses both civilian and military families. Building 174 units for the Federal Housing Program started during 1951. These new units were added to the Riverview Court Apartments, which house white families in Phenix City. Tourists wiU welcome and admire the new $200,000 Sam's Motel, a Triple A Motel finished in 1950. This 40-unit, 55-room establishment is air-conditioned and modern in every respect. XXVI INTRODUCTION Living expenses in Phenix City are moderate, and commensurate with modern housing facilities and municipal advantages. Agriculture and live-stock farming are followed successfully in the county environs of Phenix City. Opportunity awaits you in Phenix City--"The City of Opportunity and Progress." The city's latch-string is out--come, live, work and play in this progressive community. Phenix City, industrial-minded, and with an attitude of welcome to newcomers, not only holds out the hand to new enterprises, but is showing the way. Its new plants offer encouragement to others who wish to establish their industry in a city with a future. The city's manufacturing institutions are progressive and successful. The pages of this Directory give striking illustration. The Phenix Foundry, Barbee Fixture Mfg. Co., and Bickerstaff Brick-Clay Products are considered leading industries in the city. Many have expanded their plants and their territory since starting operations a few years ago. A new Alabama Power Co. office is located, along with Borden Ice Cream's new building, on 13th St. Several new retail stores came to Phenix City recently. Ric's Motel, a new ten-unit court, has helped to fill the demand for lodging in the town. Another 32-unit addition is being to Sam's Motel. Probably the one most important recent construction was the remodeling of the Phenix-Girand Bank. Its attractiveness stands out above the rest, since the location is at the crossing of Phenix City's two busy streets. The building's cost ran into many thousands of dollars. WPNX is the Phenix City radio station. A new furniture store and other prospects are being worked in an attempt to bring new industry to the city. The Chamber of Commerce is making every possible move to give Phenix City its much-needed payroll. A $150,000 American Legion Hall, and the churches, which have expanded $450,000, principally expressed in adequate and thoroughly enlarged and modernized Sunday School quarters, are among the other outstanding construction projects of recent date. The Phenix-Girard Bank, a member of the Federal Insurance Corp., held deposits of over $7,000,000 at the close of business on Dec. 31, 1958. Established in 1904, this bank has proved its worth many times. In 1947 the new Phenix City Airport was completed, with a 2,300-foot runway of sod grass, administration building, all-metal hangar, and other facilities, The new airport, located north of Idle Houi Park, was designed to meet all the standard specifications of the U. S. Government and the State of Alabama and is the official airport of the city. The Barbee Fixture Mfg. Co. was organized in 1945 by a partnership of three brothers consisting of John Barbee, J. J. Barbee, and C. F. Barbee. The company specializes in custom-built fixtures for banks, stores and offices. Its services include designing, manufacturing and installation of its products with sales and installations throughout the South. Britton & Dobbs is Phenix City's newest funeral home, opened recently. The building is of modern design, chapel built of cracked blocks with mortuary of brick and tile construction. The chapel is of cathedral type and with adjoining room will seat 218. It has a specially designed air-conditioned unit which holds the temperature at the proper level regardless of the crowd. It is also equipped with the latest Hammond organ and the acoustics are excellent.

The publisher of a Directory should dedicate his best efforts to the cause of business uplift and social service, and to this end pledges himself: 1. To consider, first, the interest of the user of the book. 2. To subscribe to and work for truth, honesty and accuracy in all departments. 3. To avoid confusing duplication of listings, endeavoring to classify every concern under the one heading that best describes it, and to -treat additional listings as advertising, to be charged for at regular rates. 4. To increase public knowledge of what Directories contain; to study public needs and make Directories to supply them; to revise and standardize methods and classifications, so that what is wanted may be most easily found, and the Directory be made to serve its fullest use as a business and social reference book and director of buyer and seller. 5. To decline any advertisement which has a tendency to mislead or which does not conform to business integrity. 6. To solicit subscriptions and advertising solely upon the merits of the publications. 7. To avoid misrepresentation by statement or inference regarding circulation, placing the test of reference publicity upon its accessibility to seekers, rather than on the number of copies sold. 8. To co-operate with approved organization and individuals engaged in creative advertising work. 9. To avoid unfair competition. 10. To determine what is the highest and largest function of Directories in public service, and then to strive in every legitimate way to promote that function. $100 Reward will be paid by the Association of North American Directory Publishers for the arrest and conviction of any person or persons engaged in the publishing, collecting or canvassing for any fraudulent or fake directories.

The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised. The City Directory is the natural medium for keeping a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages. -- 96 OFFICE SUPPLIES THE WHITE CO.
