THECHIEFCTTY OF THEOLD DOMINION

The iobbing trade for 1899 amounted
to S35,777 POS. The South, and espe-
cially North Carolina, realizes the
fact that Richmond is the natural
point from which to draw supplies and
the trade of 1899 attests this by show
ing an increase over 1898 of $4,000,0O0.
The increase varies from 10 to 80 per
cent. The trade in every line is be-
ing extended into new territory, and
the building of the Greater Seaboard
Air Line promises the city still richer
reward for enterprises in the future.
THE RICHMOND PRESS.
No city in the South has better news
papers than Richmond. There are two
morning and two afternoon papers pub
lished there, viz, THE Dispatch, THE
Daily Times" 1.-The Evening Leader y
and '"The Richmond News" The Dis
patch is the oldest of all the papers,
having been first published on October 19.
1850 1t is thoroughly equipped with an
unusually able editorial staff. 1t is up
to-date in every department. 1t has out
grown it's present quarters, however and
there is talk that the owners will soon
erect a handsome building, fully equipped
with every modern requirement and con-
yenience commensurate with the demands
of their big morning paper. The Dis
match will be remembered as the big re-
liable daily at the Confederate Capital
during the war between the States. 1t

OTHER INDUSTRIES
The following branches of manu-
facture are prominent industrialy and
deserving Of mention. Richmond is
the largest tobacco manufacturing
center in the South, it has an invested
capital of nearly S3,000,O00. The an
nual sales from same are about %lO,-
100000. It's iron works are an impOr-
tant industry and include the only To-
connective works in the South. They
fill many foreign orders. There are
also car axle works, railroad spike
works, nail works. and horse shoe fac
tories 1t has a tin box and tin tag
factory, and tin roofing factory. 1t
has the largest fertilizer company IN
the United States and the largest
paper box factory and the largest pa
per mill in the South. 1t has the first
paper Irvine factory established in the
South, the largest baking powder fac
tory and the largest publishing house
in the South. A world renowned beef
extract labratory and cedar wooden
ware works. Also a shipbuilding plant
which has large and important con-
tracts with the United States govern
ment.

present growth and prosperity seems
like a dream when we look back thir-
ty-five wears. Then this city, like the
whole Southland, was bleeding at
every pore, and was filled with weep
ing, misery and restitution.
Richmond, so fair and beautiful to
look upon now, was then mostly a
smouldering heap of ashes and ruins.
Her factories and workshops had
been burned, railroads, canals and
highroads destroyed and devastation
and debt only were left. The deepest
despair was stamped on every mans
face. Very many of its noblest and
most prominent citizens were killed
or disabled for life.
GATEWAY TO THE SOUTH.

turer close together. The building of
cotton mills. knitting mills and other
manufacturing establishments in the
South has given employment to the
idle white girl, who lived heretofore
in the piney woods and earned no
money. This increase in wage-earners
puts more money in circulation and
consequently makes the country
richer.
ITS SHIP YARD.
1t is not generally known that Rich
mon1 has a ship yard where goodly sized
cruisers are built for the United States.
Navy shipbuilding is now one of the great
indutries of Richmond. 1t was a hap

Importance in this new branch of indus
try when on the 31st of last October in
the presence of the President and many
other distinguished visitors, the Shu-
brick was launched in the waters OF the
historic James. There are several other
ships on the ways now being built for the
government. This has now made Rich
mond q recognized shipbuilsling center-A
The foreign complications gives impetus
to our naval expansion and every ship
yard will doubtless be busy building a
greater navy.
Mr. Roosevelt when Assistant Seere-
tary of the Navy was highly pleased with
Richmond as q navy yard and had his
scheme not received some unexplained
check, he would have been instrumental
in having several cruisers built at this
ship yard.
The South is now enjoying pros
perity from the industrial and manu-
featuring condition. Richmond can,
if it will, have the lions share of the
trade of North Carolina and many of
the other southern States, if it's bust
ness men will properly demonstrate
to southern dealers its unusual advan-
tages as a trade supply center. Ills
an adage trite but true, that 'he who
delays is lost" Trade conditions are
ripe in the South and now is Rich
mond's time. The attention of the
trade is called to the many business
houses of Richmond whose cards or
write ups appear in this issue which
is especially gotten up to commemor-
ate the closer linking together of the
two capitols. Richmond and Raleigh,

MANUFACTURERS.
There are over twelve hundred and
fifty distinct manufacturing establish
ments in Richmond and many more
are projected or being built. The ag-
gregate sales of it's manufactures for
the wear 1899, were $4l.255,923, an in
crease of six and a half million over
1898. Laborers employed, 21,222.
The products of Richmond factories
are noted everywhere for excellence
of quality. owing, it is said, TO the
probity of the proprietors and skill
of the workmen.
An increase varying from 10 to 100
per cent has been general along all
lines Iron shows an increase of over
one million %dollars. There is an in
crease for packers, curvers and butch
ers of from ~ to lis per cent. The
fertilizer business shows an increase
of more than 100000.
BANKS.

ures show great increase over pre-
vious years.
WHOLESALE DEALERS.

head of tide and navigation, one

government work now being prose
cuted to make the depth of the chan
pei rs feet, offers, unexcelled advan-
tages to wholesale dealers for freight
and shipping facilities. There are Sin
steamship lines engaged in coastwise
trade and the same number in for
eign trade. There are also number
of sailing vessels which come to Rich
mond. Being railroad center, few
cities enjoy greater facilities for ship
ping or better freight rates.
