ROANOKE ON WALL ST.
DR.. Parsons Suggests Bureau
of Information.

During the Norfolk real estate con-
vention DR.. e. A. Parsons suggested
the establishment of bureau of infor-
nation on Wall street, New York, to keen
investors thoroughly informed about
this section.
10 ZINES reporter DR.. Parsons said
last night that he thought it would be a
good idea for Roanoke to establish such
Il bureau.
Tho Commercial Club. the various
land companies and the Real Estate Elk
change, said he, could unite in this
matter and establish bureau that
would bring much money here, and lead
to the establishment of many more in
dustries in Roanoke
when people arc afraid to invest in
Wall street, we could secure many in
vestments in this section, if we only
had the means of laying our advantages
before the people who are seeking in
vestments. Besides. we would be ad-
vertising our advantages in the money
center OF the country. and such adver-
tisement could not be otherwise than of
great benefit to the city. We can afford
to make the necessary outlay. and
think this matter should he brought to
the attention. of the people interested :"
This matter was discussed at some
length by the convention and was
generally regarded as Il great project.
1t would be Il bold stroke for Roanoke
to take her advantages to Wall street
as bidder for investments, but it is
the bold and daring strokes of the
financial genius that have brought
about the wonderful, events of the past
eight years.
1t has been intimated that if Roam
okers do not take hold of this mattar,
and cooperate with each other III the
accomplishment of the desired end, one
of the entcrprising real estate firms of
the city will carry out the idea, on Il
small scale at least.
