HOW SALEM GROWS.
The Charters Granted During
1890.

The following report of the charters
granted in Salem for 1890 and the com
parison of the same with those granted
in 1889 will be very interesting to those
parties contemplating investing money
in Southwest Virginia. There is no
safer Investment than Salem real estate.
Salem's future is assured. A glance
at her many new dwellings and the
smoke-stacks of her numerous mills
and factories will assure one of this
fact.
The figures below show the minimum
amount of the capital invested.
From them it will be seen that the
sparks of industry had begun to bo
blown over into Salem in 1889, but that
