RICHMOND-THE MECCA OF TOURISTS

illustrations show the old and new
and the parallel could be continued
ad libitum.
The automobile and the pleasure
OF touring is bringing more people
as our guests every year. There is
not a week passes that does not bring
a party OF auto tourists to the Man
ufacturers' Exhibit. to look over the
products of Richmond factories and
to get information on points OF inter-
-. IN and around the city.
This brings me to the one import
ant fact l want to drive home In the
mind of every automobile owner In
Virginia. The need OF thorough and
complete marking Of our highways.
party has Its tale OF woe" about
getting lost. taking the wrong road
and long drives out OF their route.
due to no guide markings along the
roads. What crying shame this Is
to our progressive spirit. There
should be sign every Ave or ten
miles along every highway and direc-
ton signs at every cross roads and
distance Fuide signs within radius
of twenty miles of every large town
and city in the state.
Because we local people know our
own roeds we take II for granted
everybody else should know--a fatal
mistake The traveller cannot always
enquire the way. because often there
10 no one to ask. especially after
nightfail.
Every voter in Virginia. especially
every autoist, should urge his repre-
scntatives in the Legislature and
Senate to pass a sign post bill at the
looming session. As the members are
nominated next AUGUST, We have the
opportunity of knowing how they
stand o this question before we
nominate them.

good one. 1t requires the governing
bodies in cities, towns and counties

There is no city in our glorious
country which has more fascination
for the people of all nations than
Richmond. This is owing to the fact
that there Is romantic and histori-
cal past connected with the city and
these are touched upon in every
school history and in the public
schools over the whole land, thus
from childhood Richmond and Co
lonial Virginia are drilled into the
minds and hearts OF the people. This
creates desire on the part OF the
grown ups to visit the scenes OF those
sarly years in the history OF our
country; they want TO walk the
streets that were trod by George
Washington. Thos. Jefferson. Patrick
Henry. John Marshall and many 9TH
Iers OF our Revolutionary heroes.
Again. the glamour OF the war be-
tween the States centers in and
around Richmond. Many men and
women. North and West, had grand
fathers. fathers or other relatives en-
gagged in the battles around the city
and they have longing to view the
battle fields upon which those rela-
ltivee immortaltxed themselves. at
least to their own families.
The glamour of the long ago al
ways has its attraction; it is what
causes 80 many Americans. to mock
to Europe. they want to gaze on
Rome. ON Paris. London, Madrid and
the other ancient capitols. not ~
cause those cities themselves have
any advantage over American cities.
but because in those cities in the ages
gone, Caesar. Brutus, ST. Paul. Crom-
well, Shakespeare, Raleigh, Columbus
and Napoleon walked and had their
being.
Richm ond never fails to satisfy the
visitor, no matter what the magnet
that attracted him. We have not
only the visible evidences OF the roo
mantle and historical past, but the
living, throbbing evidence of the
modern, progressive manufacturing
icity.
We have ancient st. Jonhn's Church
wherein Patrick Henry delivered hia
