notice TO the world that Richmond is and

ample carrier facilities to the sea, and.
moreover. that this is just the beginning OF
what il can and will do in developing its

Richmond merits congratulations on the

enlistment of its water-borne traihc, ana
cs peciaiy worthy of communication are
those business men and organizations which
took MP the burden immediately following

successful elimination. r ic Ii IN d, it
seemed had been struck a mighty blow
when the Old Dominion unceremoniously
withdrew it's vessels. 1t portended the can
collation. OF this city's preferential frelght
rates, and the undermining, through excess
siye carrier charges OF the vast manutac-
turing and jobbng business it had so pains
takingfy built up. That would have been
fatal had Richmond permitted it to eventu-
ate But it did not. Faced with such
business calamity. it acted promptly to It's
own salvation. 1T abandoned its old-tme
attitude OF waiting for outside capital 10

Richmond has proved to the world the SUN

attracted To it the country's attention, ana
las given it more profitable advertising as
business center that ii had received in
decade Let it now turn this publicity to
account There is no reason Willy it should
stop with the establishment of this ono boat
line With its James River affording
splendid highway TO the sea, and with deep
water on the York just at its doorstep. tho
same spirit of progress that has marked this
undertaking, If maintained will make Rich
