sTAUNToN DEVELOPMENT.

All around and in every direction from
Staunton where improved transportation
facilities exist the busy men of progress are
actively at work. They do not wait for
nerve and capital from abroad to lead the
way, but organize and systematically de-
monstrate the resources and advantages OF
their locations, and then the quick percep-
tion and the active energies of strangers on
the lookout for just what they find, fall
into line and accomplished results of first
magnitude crown their efforts. Because
Staunton is not among the first of the com
munities which have set the movements OF
leading development in action, it does not
follow that it is of less value or smaller OIL
mansions. Staunton was only waiting to
trim her lamps and brighten the way over
the wide field of her superior opportunities.
Secure in all the advantages, and they
are the very best-which spring from one
of the largest educational centers in the
whole country; from the highest grade OF
culture and social influences that adorn an
old and influential section Of the great old
Commonwealth, and a commercial power
sustained by rich and most productive
farms that display their wealth to the ad-
miration Of all beholdere, the Queen City
of the Valley rises in all the elegance OF her
superior location to greet the coming OF
new energetic men and to welcome the
dawning, with its fruitfulness, Of enlarged
development. The basis upon which
Staunton can build in the present and ib
the future is secure in every respect. First
class and improving transportation in
every direction centers upon this favored
locality. Around US the soil is lavish in its
production. Here, ga climate as soft as q
mothers love" blesses the people, and the
bounteous wealth springs from the valleys
and the plateaus; and from tho mountain
sides and their foothills minerals are
thrown out ready for the laborers and
opportunities.
The Staunton Development Company
