The census Of 1870 shows that Lynch
burg increased in population IS per cent

lation being $500. For manufacturing
you want labor. Population makes labor.
Unlike the popular fallacy Of the South,

AIIurements of the south.
Three facts that make the South an
alluring region TO locate in are The
only cheap fam lands left in the United
States are IN the South. the greatest
supply of raw material is in the South.
and most sof the -undeveloped water
power is there. The natural growth Of
the United States will develop all the
great possibilities Of the South, which
means that LynchburE is the gateway OF
a virgin territory and its future is be-
yond the grasp OF the brain Of the aver
age man.
Lynchburg's natural market is the
South. The bulk Of its S45.oO0OOO OF an
nual business is done in that section.
Keen competition between four trunk
lines of railroads is building Lynch
burgs commerce. Lynchburg can to-
day point with psrdonable pride to some

The Southern territory to-day contains
over 27,0o0.OOo OF people, or about one
FIFTH OF the population of the entire
United States. II is all Lynchburg ter
ritory, and Lynchburg can claim it be-
cause It has the transportation facilities
and low freight rates TO make good
with.
Another thing: The number of con-
sumers in Lynchburg's own market are
not only rapidly increasing, but they are
growing richer-they are able to buy
more every year. Statistics show that
each individuals buying power, in the
past twenty-eight years, increased 10
