Although Brevard, North Carolina
is a near neighbor of Greenville in
point of actual distance, few people
of this section realize the scenic beau
ties and industrial and agricultural
activities of Transylvania, of which
Brevard is4he county seat.
The Blue Ridge mountains, in their
tall majesty, have always stood be
tween Greenville and Brevard, and
j this barrier seemed to put that sec
tion of Western North Carolina into
a far country, to be visited only with
long and wearisome traveling. Yet
with the construclion of a modern
hoghway, leading directly through
the mountains, Brevard would be
only a ’’ttle more than an hour’s ride
j from Creenville, and a great and won
derfui country, now little visite^ by
Greenville folk, would be placed al
most within hand-shaking distance.
Brevard advertises itself as “a
Folendid place .to rest or play,” and
it is just that, |nd a great deal more,

f iloor t)pened for them into a new land
of pleasure and happiness. And Bre-
varfl people are looking forward to
that day with as much interest as
Greenville, for the Transylvania city
is anxious to be a real next-door
neiglibor to Greenville and to visit
and 'be visited.
Hais Many Resources
Brevard’s principal assets may be
summed up under three general
heads. One of these, of course, is
its scenic beauties and climate, its
ricTi panorama of mountain peaks
and its gem-blue lakes, and its at
tractiveness as a place of recreation
and^ rest. But it has also remarkable
agricultural resources, and it also has
quite a rating as an industrial center.
Camp life in “The Land of Water
falls,” in and around Brevard, has
been quite developed. Numerous
well-established and carefully super
vised camps and camp schools for
boys and girls, make the section a
mecca every summer for a great num
ber of young folks. Each year sees
some of the established camps grow
ing in size and popularity while not
infrequently new institutions spring
up. Canoeing, swimming hiking and
mountain climbing give the young
folk plenty of healthful exercise and
The Carr Lumber Company has
about completed a new planing in
dustry. The most up-to-date machin
ery has been installed and the new
factory will begin immediately truing
up and facing boards or ^he sides of
timbers of all kinds of lumber, manu
facture flooring, moulding sash and
doors. The planing machine wilE
turn out one hundred and eighty-five
lineal feet of floorinf per moute. An
edging machine has also been estab
lished. a machine which tongues and
grooves and matches. Another ma
chine known as a moulder will mould
and dress to almost any shape. This-
new' industry will now make possible'
^he manufacture out of our raw ma
terial, almost all necessary woodwork,.
etc.
The investment represents approx--
imately sixty-five thousand dollars.
The skilled employees, laborer, etc.,.
will add at least fifty more haitds to-
the nayroll of the Carr Lumber Com
pany.
The News announced that a fur-,
niture factory had already been es
tablished at this plant, but was mis-
1 informed. The furniture factory will
I be an established fact in a few
i months time. Plans, etc., are now
being made.
The Carr Lumber Company now
has an annual payrool of about two-
hundred thousand dollars and with-
this new enterprise, at least fifty thou:
sand dollars per year will be atfd«di
with an increased employment of the
above mentioned fifty skilled work
ers.

In industry, Brevard has a great
future. Already it has large tanner

lumber manufactuping industries and
other factories depending upon the
vast ha^dwoo<^ forests o^' that

for water power dvelopment in that
section and the Transylvanians are
^adually taking full advantage of
this and other natural opportunities.
Brevard’s water supply is about as
good as could be found on the Amer
ican continent. The town owns its
own watershed covering more than
400 acres on h,gh mountain land, and
