I has been the purpose of the AGROMECK staff to present to you a brief picture of the major industrial activities of North Carolina. To do this, it is necessary and fitting that consideration be given the background and foundations upon which the Tar Heel State has been established. From the early days of the simple colonists on Roanoke Island, through the era of slavery and the development of transportation, and finally through the modern culture of the day, a definite pattern has been gradually formulated by which the lives of our millions of inhabitants have been influenced. We live to-day with the joy of knowing that our historical background is as glamorous, and as full of prestige as that of any other state. To us, the living past, it should aid in furthering and realizing the accomplishments that our forefathers realized. Thus inspired, and augmented with the endowment of an abundance of natural resources, North Carolina will continue to thrive, and will ultimately be a leader in industry.
