ADVANTAGES OF TIE SOUTH.
"No one can carefully and coasars
lively study the undeveloped wealth i
the two yirginias and at the same tin.
study the future marvellous increase d
wealth and population in the eatin
country without being impressed wild
the fact that we are just entering upsl
an area OF the greatest industrial ial
town building activity that any paH d
the United States has seen. When u
contrast the natural advantages and In
distance from centers OF population d
the West and Northwest and see Ia
marvellous growth that has marked IL
rise of such places as Kansas CITY,
Omaha, Minneapolis, st. Paul, DuluA,
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and Oths
points, and then study the incomlarshA
advantages Of the South, which has s
combination OF about all the goOdthilp
that all other countries in the Wcia
have, and without most OF their seraH
disadvantages, we must inevitably y
impressed with the fact that the rate \
growth OF TOWNS and cities in the South
will be as much greater than the rate d
growth of the Northwestern cities By
been as the resources and advantagtsd
the South surpass the resources aadM
vantages OF that section"
