PREFACE

Some Interesting Facts for the Inves- tor, Manufacturer, Homeseeker, Tourist and Public in General
First, from the standpoint of an Investor, Asheville is an enterprising city, its rapid growth had made neces- sary a new water supply; today the water system of Aseville is second to none. According to its population Asheville has more paved streets than any other city in the entire South. Street car service superior to that of many cities three times the size; about twenty miles of electric railway in operation, a modern sewerage system, both gas and electric light plants, two daily papers and a great back country from which to draw trade.
Manufacturer. Water power is abundant, as may be inferred from the character of the country; streams, bold, free and numerous, the water clear, pure, soft and free from iron, exactly what is needed for bleacher- ies, dye works, tanneries and pulp making. Five miles below Asheville on the French Broad river, the W. T. Weaver Power Co. has developed a large electric plant for the transmis- sion of power.
Railroad facilities are good; the Southern Railway penetrates the city with several lines and there is now under way of construction a new inde-
pendent trunk line, the completion of which will not only be of great bene- fit to the manufacturer and the mer- chant, by giving still better facilities and lower rates, but will open up new fields for commerce, cause new indus- tries to spring, increasing population and at the same time enlarging reve- nue. There is no city in the South- land that has a brighter future than Asheville, therefore we do not hesi- tate to say to the investors or the manufacturers that no city presents to them a more excellent field for opera- tion, and that they can feel assured that nothing will be permitted to occur which would tend to hinder ior block- ade progress. The Asheville Board of Trade invites every investigation from parties seeking sites for factories or other business enterprises.
Homeseeker. Asheville has many advantages peculiar to itself, situated as it is, high up amid the eternal hills, by nature an ideal home place; one has but to look in any direction and behold the beauties of nature. Scen- ery that is magnificent, there moun- tain upon mountain, range after range, in silent grandeur stand, but it is not alone what the eye beholds, the great
20
-
God of the Universe has bestowed upon Asheville a still greater blessing, that of pure dry air, a climate that is unsurpassed. The character of the peo- ple can be determined from the num- ber of churches, there being twenty- five, a large Y. M. C. A. building, and other religious bodies. As to schools, be it sufficient to say that Asheville is an educational center. Her public schools are models of architecture and her system one of the most efficient in the country; there are also many pri- vate schools of more than local fame. Employment can readily be found, op- portunities for small fruit-growing, poultry-raising, canning, trucking, stock-raising and woodworking are excellent. If it's a home you are seek- ing, why look farther? Asheville of- fers every inducement, and her doors are open to bid you welcome.
Tourist. Asheville as a tourist re- sort is well known; her fame is world- wide; splendid hotels, every accommo- dation. 'Tis here you find rest, enjoy the pure, fresh air that invigorates. Recreation that drives away the care and worry of every day affairs; horse- back riding, driving over beautiful driveways, boating on the lake, tramp- ing, through the mountain trails or playing golf on the splendid links of the Swannanoa Country Club.
