Abstract:
High atop a hill just off the main thoroughfare of the little mountain city of Tryon, is located one of the most original and interesting enterprises - the Tryon Toy-Makers and Wood Carvers. It was after the World War and George W. Vanderbilt's death at Biltmore that the novel industry had its beginning. Miss Eleanor Vance and Miss Charlotte Yale, the originators and owners of the shops, were also originators of the handicraft work of the Biltmore Industries, where they worked for fourteen years. At this shop they not only make toys but teach handicraft, weaving, wood carving, and toy making.

Among his accomplishments were the creation of a state sales tax and the state's assumption of the financial responsibility for the public school system. He came into office with a deficit of $15 million in the state treasury and left with a surplus of $5 million.
