GREENSBORO MAKING PROUD BOASTS
The Sale Wednesday Will Doubtless Cal,
Many People to That Growing CITY
and Much Will Be Done.
Conscious Of true and ample founda-
ton for the growth of a large city, and
witnessing daily the rapid strides of
progress made in Greensboro, her neo-
pie have abstained from the gush and
boom too often incident to such pros
| porous conditions.
Despite, however, the conservative bus
siness methods pursued in Greensboro
we find values Of real estate rapidly en-
HANGING. Her population NOW $1,000 is
daily growing, and happily is of that
class, who buy 4+otsT, bnf4d- 4homes AID ba.
come permanent citizens.
The manufacturing industry here is
large and diversified it embraces cot
ton mills, knitting mill, for hosiery and
underwear, Touring mills, foundries,
spoke and handle factories, saw mills,
and blind factories, building material
factories, ice factories, tobacco factories,
cigar factory, three large warehouses for
the sale of leaf tobacco, coach building
and repairing factory, harness factory,
shoe factory, terra Gotta works, brick
factories, and in early contemplation, a
steel and iron furnace, and a rolling mill
for the manufacture of metal into mer-
charitable iron. The steel and iron fur
mace we regard as certain, because the
property is paid for, and money in bank
to commence building the works. The
rolling mill project is in the hands of
Philadelphia syndicate, who doubtless
know what they are doing.
Banking facilities in Greensboro are
ample and easy. Notwithstanding the
stringency in commercial circles in New
England during the past year, we have
no failures to record for Greensboro. Il
is next to impossible to cripple or retard
a city, backed as this is, by an immensely
productive agricultural district, a large

growing, commercial trade, both retail
and wholesale.
The railway facilities of Greensboro are
almost unequalled by any city in the
South, lines diverge in six directions
giving thirty-two passenger trains daily
This is truly the "Gate City" of Nortl
Carolina.
Sglapasi laia6Jn audi sGuodr advantage

cultivation of morals and mind, for whic
this, the "City of Flowers" has so lon
been justly noted.
On the list Of public improvements
| numbered a fine system of water work
! gas works, electric lights, sewerage inca
completion) paved streets, street railwa
under negotiation, and good hotels; ad
to this a 800, 900 modern hotel on tn
north side of the city, and Greensbor
can challenge the best for accommods
tions and solid comfort.
The climate of this, Piedmont Mort
Carolina, cannot be excelled for healt
and comfort; the temperature is neve
> extremely warm or cold, its venues
specially commended by physicians fC
all pulmonary diseases of throat an
lungs.
He~alth-giving springs of sulphur, iro
and lithia waters abound in the vicinit
of the city, some within its corporal
limits.
Truly can it be said that no city MOI
happily blends the elements Of a great il
dustrial and business centre, with happ
and contented homes, than Greensbor
the "Gate City" of North Carolina.
. 1t cannot be gainsayed, that the 8,0(
population of Greensboro are among tt
happiest and most prosperous people
all the land.

men are in the front of the upbuilding
Greensboro and stand ready, with ope
hearts and helping hands, to WELDON
