Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This historical account of the city of High Point, North Carolina, focuses on its growth and development in the nineteenth century through the establishment of its manufacturing industries. The book describes the founding of the furniture industry in the town, along with other industrial sectors, and the significant role they have played in shaping its economy and culture. The business-oriented nature of the community is attributed to the absence of factory stores, which encouraged competition among merchants and facilitated the town's commercial success. High Point's manufacturing prowess has attracted skilled workers and entrepreneurs, contributing to its prominence as a furniture industry hub in the South. The book underscores the town's progressive outlook and its emphasis on education and civic engagement.
