During the past decade growth of an encouraging significance has been witnessed in Asheboro. Encompassing the mind, heart, and soul is a spiritual aura which reveals itself in the town and its people. Indicative of this religious interest is the marked increase in churches of the Asheboro area. Throughout the past ten years we have seen the erection of approximately twenty new churches and an even greater number of addi- tions and expansions. By construction of new churches and enlargement of numerous others, Asheboro has provided facilities for a greater representa- tion of its populace in worship centers. lt has afforded them new, modern environs to lend an atmosphere ever conducive to real religious worship. In accordance with its reputation as a center of religious activity, Asheboro has a number of churches representing the following denominations: Bap- tist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Congregational Christian, Holiness, Friends, Episcopal, Evangelical Reform, Lutheran, Seventh Day Ad- ventist, Church of God, and Wesleyan Methodist. Newcomers to Asheboro note with appreciation that the church of their choice is available, attended by a cordial congregation. So one observes that even in the hustle and bustle of a growing city, people pause to exercise the privilege of spiritual freedom. The impatient tempo, the restless pace are momentarily stilled. In gratitude is He worshiped who inspires all growth. A place for quiet meditation and reverent worship.

Asheboro people view with pride the industrial growth of our town over the past decade. Local manu- facturers have steadily expanded their operations, and many new industries have been established here by outsiders. Citizens dedicated to the promo- tion of a program of substantial industrial growth, folks willing to hasten that development through investing their time, their talents, and their money, and people in this community and others nearby who have been trainable and productive in industrial employment are the chief factors in our town's industry build-up. Although the hosiery industry is the largest single industry, there is a great diversity of manufactur- ing. Manufactured products include furniture, textiles, concrete blocks, brooms, overalls, flour, lingerie, neckties, handkerchiefs, underwear, paper boxes, barrell stoves, Vene- tian blinds, automatic blankets, flashlight batteries, and cowboy suits.
