are such as to place this city among
the foremost cities Of the country
in respect to health.
The position the city occupies is due
very largely TO the methods pursued
in the handing OF the 1oodstutts nee
essary to the maintenance OF good
health and the development o. 4 COM

course there are other factors but
there is none more important than

the ration OF the people is the modern
market Of Allen Brothers, established
three wears ago. This market situated
at 1901 King Street IS model OF san

Situated next door to the nations
capital, on the banks of the historic
Potomac River, Alexandria offers an
unusually attractive and naturany
desirable location for manufacturing
industries. One of the Oldest cities IN
the United States, originally surveyed
and laid out by General George Wash
ington, the city contains SO many
historical interests closely interviewer
with the development and growth Oh
orr country that its value as an INDUS
trial center has unfortunately been
more or less entirely submerged by It's
widely spread reputation as mecca
for tourists and students OF history.
Practically every rquisite necessary
to the support and maintenance OF
industry is either naturally or artl-
fcially provided or exists in a latent
state. but awaiting full development.
This fact, long recognized by far-see-
ing promoters and captains OF INDUS
try, has brought to Alexandria many
thriving and rapidly growing manu-
featuring plants and industrial estab-
lishments. As result we have an
abundant number of diversified shops,
factories and supply houses of long
and substantial standing meeting
every demand and supplying all the
needs essential to the successful opera
ton of large manufacturing plants.
EXCELLENT TRANSPORTATION
FACILITIES
Alexandria offers excellent trans
portation facilities, both by rail and
water.
The deep water channel of the Po-
tomac River permits its navigation by
ocean-going vessels 50 that cargoe:s
can be taken on and discharged di-
rectly at the local wharves without
expensive lighterage or rehandling be-
tween port of call and destination. Inc

The place of the furniture dealer
in a community cannot be overesti-
mated when the value OF the service
he renders in making the community
happy and comfortable one is given
consideration.
Upon the dealer in furniture and

The home must have the comforts that
are given it by the necessities and 1t
is up to the furniture man who IS
