Sth The extremely low price at which
land can be. had for the plant and tene

need not be considered in estimating the
cost of a plant.
We have first-class telephone system
with long distance connection with all
the most important towns and villages
of Randolph and Montgomery counties.
A canning factory at AsheborO would
be a paying investment.
A shoe factory would pay we'll here.
The abundance Of hickory timber and
the cheap price of labor would insure
the success to a spoke and handle fac
tory.
A barrel factory would pay as there is
much oak timber.
There is n good opening for a factory
to manufacture -four and meal bags as
great part of the output could be sold
in this county and near here.
Being in the centre of an agricultural
section, a factory for the manufacture
of agricultural implements ought to sue
coed.
A wooden mill would make money at
Asheboro as much wool can be obtained
here.
The greatest inducements Asheboro
offers is the cheapness of fuel, labor,
land etc, and the fact that we have raw
material only waiting to be converted
into the manufactured product and then
put on the market at a less cost to the
manufacturer than any other town IN
he country.
Our great natural resources have not
been developed and our raw material
has not been manufactured because no
efforts have been made to advertise what
we have away from home. We feel sure
that we will attract those who are seek
ing cheaper quarters, thus charging
their profits.
We invite all who are seeking a cheap
err place to manufacture any kind OF
products to investigate the advantages
Of Asheb0ro. where the cost of produc-
ton viii be found to be cheaper than
elsewhere.
To all who are seeking a home among
a people hospitable and kind; all who
want to buy a farm at from two to five
dollars per acre, which is now lying idle,
only waiting for improvement to bring
it up to the highest state Of cultivation
that will insure good and easy living
To all of you we invite attention and
investigation We will not only extend
You a hand of welcome but will give you
our support.
There arc farmers here who live on
30 to rs acre farms that cost from $500
to $500 per acre, who make good
living. support large families. drive fat
horses. kill fat hogs, bring butter and
eggs to town once week to buy such
provisions as coffee and sugar and cloth
inc for their families. They also have
corn and wheat and other products of
the farm. Come to see them or write
MS and we will pnt You in correspondence
with parties who will give you particular
information.
Brick and tile manufacturing would
pay handsomely here because of the pc
culiar fitness of our soil.
A coffin factory would not be a pay
ing investment for home consumption.
The raw material supply for the manu-
facture Of collins is excellent, and if a
foreign market can be obtained, money
can be made.
The inhabitants Of Asheboro are in
dustrious. sober. honest. healthy, hos,
pitahle and of the best Gloss of people
here a warm welcome. Living is cheap;
houses can be rented very reasonably,
and the character of our people make it
