"To tell the truth, speaking indie

should be jealous Of Richmond. or
how she could be- The two cities arc
not in the same class, from a business
standpoint. Richmond is SO fai ahead
of Norfolk in every way, in point OF
capital Invested, men employed, manu-
featured products, wholesale and re-
tail trade--in fact, in every business
sense practically, Richmond is far ard
away in front of Norfolk. For In

ducts, according to the Census Blu

in point OF value as those of Norfolk,
not including the output of the Loco

say the value of tho wholesale trade
OF Richmond and Norfolk show up In
about the same proportion.
