Where is NorfoIk-on -the- Roads ?

What; you don't know why you are
not up-to-datc. Why it is the body OF
land from Tanners Creek North to
Hampton Roads. which used to be called
'Sewelrs Point" Why. my dear man, IL
few of our Norfolk hustlers, backed up
with lots of Baltimore money, have built
one of the best double track Electric
Railroads l ever rode on In my life down
to the extreme point land have built a
pier LOCO feet out into the river, big and
good enough for Uncle Sam not to he
ashamed OF. They have II darling of n

which just slides YOU across the Roads
to Old Point in jify Just think of it,
from Norfolk to Old Point in so minutes,
and they say they Will do it in 10 bye
and-bye, and l believe they will, they
mean business. You know what, they
have built bridge across Tanners
Creek. which does anybody good to look
at. Its Cracker Jack, 100 feet long
and certainly did not cost less than $751;
10000. with splendid driveway along
side of the double tracks. and do you
know it is the first and only Free Bridge
out of Norfolk If you so in any other
direction you pay toll.
We'll. well; this is news to me, but tell
me what is to be seen along the route;
anything to attract you?
Why, yes; It's just lovely. You go
