Abstract:

Furniture and hosiery still play an important part in High Point's economy, and today it is also the acknowledged furniture marketing center of the world. In 1951, the Chamber of Commerce expanded High Point's fame by adding the High Point Industrial Development Division, its purpose to survey existing industry to determine the needs for broadening the city's economy and attract new industries.
