Ancient and Prosperous.
The city is an ancient one, of which
fact its appearance bears every testi'
mony, for it's irregular ground-plan
struggles among, around and over the
knot of low hills upon which the city
is built in accordance with the tradi-
tional aimlessness of the middle ages.
Its streets are narrow and not espe'
cially well-kept. 1t wears, however. a
general air of comfortable prosperity,
for wilma sends large quantities of
goods to the Black sea and to the Bal
tic. 1t handles a very extensive bust
ness in grains and timber, articles
which it exported before the present
war in great quantities to Germany to
Holland and to England. 1t also has
important textile and leather indus
tries. wilma manufactures consider
able tobacco, knit goods. clothing, ar.
tificial flowers and gloves.
The old town is rich in memories.
