The TIMEs has IN all occasions la
bored to impress upon the people of this
city the Importance OF home industries.
The more OF such aelf.sustsining inst:-
tntiona any community has, the more
independents 1t is OF the world outside,
and the greater is las ASSURANCE Of per-
manent growth and prosperity. It is
however, q mistaken notion, and one
that unfortunately prevailed here to too
GreaS On extent In the earlier history OF
thts city, to suppose that any place can
become q full grown manufacturing cen-
ter By forming corporations and inau9-
urating industries on a large scale.
Trade n Accommodates Is regulated by
the laws Of supply and demand, and ex.
p%ertence has shown too often TO the dis
appointment of investorsi Ii recent years
In this section, that unless there ia y de.
mand for ON article OF commodity, the
supply, NJ matter how great it may be,
will not make any.busineas 3 success.
On the other hand, experience has
also shown thet the business OF manu-.
featuring, like nearly ell other undsr-
taRings, Succeeds best rfrom q modest
beginning, and that small industries
may become great ones when the energy
perseverance of those In chsrge of
Them have created q large and growing
demand for their fabrics or products
The fact that Roanoke has held her
" through the period of great fnsn-
cial depression, and that many of her
industries are now on a secure and per-
manent basis, Is proof enough that
there ia room here for others If under
taken with q due regard to the condi-
rionB already alluded to.
That the people Of this city are still
alive to this fact is shown in the work OF
~Msesrs. Josiah Friend and R. E. Beeton,
who, with the tools and appliances of
their shop on Henry street, have re-
Gently constructed q bicycle, which in
style, strength and all other requisites
ia pronounced equal to any made as the
best regular factories. Mr.. Friend has
wenided in Roanoke ever sin IL became
q city, having come here from Scotland,
where he had the management of o
bicycle factory for eight years. He ia
a irst-clees m%achinist, as all who know
him can testify. Mr.. Beeton, his as
sistsns in the above work. Is also an
expert machinist. Both understand all
about the manufacture OF bicycles, as
their work proves, and hero it seems to
us is a good opportunity for inaugural.
ing an lind uStrV of that kind
II como Of Roanoke's men OF means
would confer with Mr.. Friend on the
subject. 1t might result In starting a
bicycle factory here, which would, in
time. become an important addition to
h industries o, this city. There arc
ao such factories in the South. The
bicycle is coming more into use every
day, and in time 3 great industry for
supplying the Southern trade might be
built up right here ia Roanoke. Mr.
Friend is fully identified with the ma
teriai interests OF Roanoke, and has
spent his time and money in helping to
build up the city. He is a man of sound
judgment, and has faith in the success
of such an enterprise. II is hoped tho
matter will be taken in hand by our
citizens, with the result thai q con pan
will BIO formed and a bicycle factory
started in Roanoke.
