j MORE INDUSTRIES FOR OXFORD.
I Every busauess man in Oxford and
Granville county should read this ar-
ticleticle carefully. There is a good
Mai eto be learned Cronn it. It was
Mianded to us -.v an energetic big
ness man who , wants this town t
have more industries. This clipping
was taken from the Roanoke World:
Roanoke is growing more rapidly
Jeommrecially than she is industrial!
fWithin tjhe past 30 days four com-
Hiercial houses of various k?nd-3
I'aave been afded to this cty. These
are all places to spend money. Th?;
tare, of course, necessary in any com
hnunity of Roanoke's size. But tere
honiii ai. h rrirniro- risrh fl1nnr
places that afford an opportunity fcr
people to make money. There should
!be more industries. In the same pe
Hod in wihich 50 merchandizing plae
iiave been established i.t is doubtful
5 . , , . ,
!if a half dozen new industries have
scome. Such a condition of trade ma ;
!
;es a place toprhe-avy, and unlses a soj
i
lid foundation is built around base
Itnings are going to topple over soon
er or la.tA.ir.
Rotanoke doesn't, want that to hap
"peu. Roanoke does want more indus
jtries. It doesn't matter whether
they are million-dollar concerns or
places that employ only a half doz-
en people for the whole thing. Wha j snow covered houses and the theifcao
Hs wanted is diversity and plenty cf j meter down to 31, an experience nev
US'
The gentleman who gave us the a
bove said:
"The conditions referred to as ex
isting in Roanoke fit the case of Ox
ford and it is high.itime we were
looking this proposition "Square in
Jibe face" and we must DO MORE
hhan Ijook. .We MUST ACT and at
bnce or this good old town of ours
will not continue on upward course.
EBusiness men, members cf the Com
jtnrrcial dub, Ciitzens of Oxford and
iGranvilie County, take hold of this
hnatter vigorously witnout delay and
ret us have moTe industries that wil
more pay rolls. Pay roll money is
ithe kind that reaches the pocket 'boo
'ct every class. Be up and strong.
Do teomehtkLg substantial for Oxford
jand if your means will not allow you
to take tetodk in industries, do the
nesrti best thing, TALK OXFORD."
We subscribe to everything that
loth articles have to say in refereno
"to 0"srord. It is high time we were
looking for Industries and we want
more of them with large or small py
rolls. . r j. i

for seed for re-planting purposes and
