In 1871 there were 492 residences,

And In 1874 the frame buildings

Last year there were three churches
built. The year before there were
ten. Thirteen churches in two years
sounds pretty good. How many this
year?
There were more brick stores built
IN 1911 than last year. The difference
VAS ten.
The two years are tied on the build

Trade Extension Bureau.

Another important step was the
organization Of the trade extension
bureau as an adjunct OF the oTEauf-
cation, designed to divert TO Rich
mond trade which has heretofore
sought other channels and for which
Richmond is the logical market The
success Of this movement has eX-
ceeded the expectations Of the most
sanguine Of It's promoters, and evil
dences of It's labors are shown In the
remarkable Increase in sales by man
ufacturers and jobbers the past year.
This feature OF the chamber s work
ig yet IN it's infancy and II results
thus far attained are a criterion IL
will prove one of the most important
undertakings the chamber has fes-
tered in fts long and useful career.
The most active minds numbered

upon this work II making Richmond
