The Towns of Cleveland Boiling Springs The Cleveland Country Club Boiling Springs is chiefly known as the seat of Gardncr-Webb Junior Col¬ lege (formerly Boiling Springs High School), but it also is a municipality in its own right. While the college, of course, is the big "business" of the little South Cleveland town, it has a briskly patronized retail section, a bank, fire department, hospital, and a couple of industries — a small yarn plant and the Cleveland Sandwich Company. The latter distributes sand¬ wiches and other food items all over western North Carolina. The 1960 population is 1.309. a 14.3 per cent rise over 1950. Lawndale Cleveland Mills, established in 1888 by Major H. F. Schenck. are still oper¬ ating on the original site at Lawndale. It imports manila from Denmark, and jute and sisal, to make cordage and twines as well as other textile prod¬ ucts. One of the largest tag cord manu¬ facturers in the country, it also makes seine cords, parcel post twines, kite cords, mop heads, jump ropes, ski rop¬ ing and wood glue. The town is on the banks of the Broad River, and contains a school, branch bank, several stores and filling stations, churches, and a fire depart¬ ment. Mooresboro Mooresboro, another of Cleveland’s numerous rural centers, established the first creamery in North Carolina in 1909. Today it has a school, a few stores and a residential section. Lattimore Latlimore is a small village with a big store — the curious supermarket, general store and antique business of John Bell. A good-sized feed mill also is in operation here. Grover Grover, almost on the South Caro¬ lina line, is the home of Minettc Mills, makers of chenille bedspreads, woven bedspreads, and furniture upholstery. Here also arc offices of a large sub station of Transcontintal Gas Pipe Liner Corporation. Waco Waco is a settlement built around a large school — a village within a settle¬ ment. and apparently at one time more flourishing. It has some small stores and residences. Karl Earl is a village on L'.S. 29 south of Kings Mountain, and is the closest community to the huge new Fibre In¬ dustries plant. It is built up on both sides of the tracks of the Southern Railway and has a school, churches. DICEY MILLS, INC. Manufacturers of QUALITY UPHOLSTERY FABRICS SHELBY, N. C.
