their labor as in the west, and that II
they have capital to invest Virginia offers
better inducements than any western

money in manufacturing enterprises. The
Valley which cannot be excelled for ITS
combined mineral resources, farm lands

attract these men. When they come let
them find US ready to aid them as we can
Then IN a few years we can boast OF our
