deposits the city of Richmond showed

Prior to 1850 North Carolina had little
more relationship with the capital of the
Old DOMINION than it had with some OF
the smaller cities of the South The re-

than the relationship with some South
Carolina and Georgia points Four years
OF stfife and conflict, during which one
hundred and twenty-five thousand native
born North Carolinians gave their every
energy and offered their lives in the cause
OF the Coniederacy and struggled to keen
Grant out of Richmond, formed close ties
and love for the country of the South
that has ever made it the desirable Mecca
for the people of the Old North State
This same brotherly love which then
filed the hearts of North Carolinians
who were fighting to preserve Richmond
also filled the hearts of Richmond people
who have never in the past forty wears
lost an opportunity to show their aDpre

to make these claims
The business received by Richmond
from North Carolina merchants and from
the retail trade of this State has in
creased during the year 1903 over forty
rcr cent over the year of 1902, which
year was thirty per cent greater than
the year preceding. The past three
months have already shown an increase
which is wonderful and makes a most
satisfactory comparison with the CORE
spending three months of last year.
Every indication points to this being the
most successful year in the history of
Carolina is therefore more firmly estab-
lished than ever before
There is scarcely a hamlet in North
Carolina in which there is not some one
important industry in which Aichmond
is interested.
There is not a firm in Richmond of any
consequence whatever which does not
carry on its books a large percentage of
It's business as coming from the Old North
State.
There is not financial institution IN
this city but that has grown greatly in
the past few years, and each progressive
institution has been aided, in its develop
ment and progressed by its relationship
to the financial life of North Carolina.
There is not wholesale dealer located
at this advantageous shipping point who
does not daily ship goods to merchants
in the Tar Heel State, and it is an es-
tablishcd fact that the credit of North
Carolina merchants with Richmond whole.
salers is better than that of any other
State.
There is no need of business men of the
South going further north to buy goods,
as the manufacturing and iobbing estab-
lisiments here are equal to any to be
found elsewhere in the Union.
There is reliability about Richmond
manufacturers and wholesalers that is
most satisfactory with the Tar Heel mer-
chants for they are near to North Caro-
lima in almost every concern, either North
Carolinians personally direct or is per-
sonally interested in the affairs of the
Company. Their business dealings are, ac-

and at that time Richmond sought but
little trade except in its own community.
Each year since then Richmond has be-
come very progressive, its business men
have awakened to a realization that the
South needed a jobbing center of its
own, one capable of supplying the entire
trade Of the South, and one that would
meet and supply the ever increasing de-
mands. Richmond has met this condition
in such a manner as was to be expected,
it has done nothing small. the city does
not believe in doing things half way.
Today it can proudly claim to offer
equal advantages to any point in the
country in many lines and superior ad-
vantages to many points in this country
in other lines of trade.
