Long Sault Tho steam Is shut off and
the boat rushes along by the force of the

BIG THINGS
Richmond Fast ? Becoming the
Headquarters for Small But
Profitable Industries.
SUPERIOR FACILITIES ATTRACT
All Doing Well and Adding to
the General Flow of Com?
mercial Prosperity.
AVhat Is Richmond doing In this good
day of small things? Thero aro croakers
nnd weak-kneed men, men who are not
necessarily croakors, but simply weak
kneed, who, looking at the combination
of capital and the formation of giant
trusta, ralao their hands in holy horror
and wonder what Is going to; become ot
tholr boys, now rapidly coming upon .the
stage of- action. The stock argument-of
I these weak-kneed gentlemen Is that tho
, small mon, th? youngster with limited
' capital, or with no capital, has but little
If any chance In those days of big con?
cerns and mammoth combinations. They
cry that tho days for building from tho
ground up are past and gone forever.
These people are simply mistaken. Thero
never was a time in the history of the
world, or at least In the history of this
part of It, when the young man had a
better chance, for notwithstanding tho
existence of great combinations, trust?
arid combines, this is pre-eminently thu
day of small things.
Little Things. ..
In looking around town In search of
answer? to the auestion. "What Is Rich- ;
mond doing'?" I have been constantly re?
minded of the infant class Sunday school
hymns
Little drops of water.
Little grains of sand.
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.
Many little drops of perspiration. Httlo
grains of energy, Httlo bits of wisdom and
far-sighted chunks of hustle and of "git
up and git," aro helping tq make Rich?
mond the manufacturing center and com?
mercial business bee hive that It is. These
Ilttlo Industries are worthy of more than
passing notlco, for it is a fact that a very
?mall portion of the people of Richmond
know much. If anything, ot tho volimi?
of business they do. Tho mention of threo
or four Industries of this elans will bu
sufficient to Illustrato.
Modern Shoe Soling.
Hundreds of people passing along Main
Street every day see a very modest Httlo
sign between Seventh and Eighth Streets,
which reads "W. K. Drew and Compiipy,
Boots and Shoes." Tho passer-by natu?
rally thinks It Is a shoo shop, and It Is.
But how many people know that In tho
back rooms and in tho rooms on tho sec?
ond story of that little shop several thous
nntl dollars' worth of machinery is kept
busy from early morn to dewy uve in
tho modest business of half-soling and
whola-flollng partially dilapidated shoes.
Drow and Company mako ?hoes, many of
them, but I am speaking now of that
branch of their business, which Is unique,
In that it Is tho only establishment of
the kind between New York and Calves- |

mercial Importance.
(Special from a Staff Correspondent.)
PETERSBURG. VA., .Tune 25.?The city
of Petorshurg, located at the head of
navigation on tho Appomattox River,
twnnty-two miles tram Rlolimon?, la
unique In many respects. Thero Is not
a city In tho State of Virginia, or in
tho United Stiites, as for that matter,
that does as llttlo blowing In propor?
tion to amount of Its solid business as this
city of Petersburg. The people of the ,
Cockade City nro not given to blowing,
?but they aro strictly business all the
time.
Tho time was ln the days preceding the;
Civil War, ' and for several years there?
after, when Petersburg carried In tho
hollow of Its hand all the trade, going
and coming, of all tho Virginia coun?
ties between its corporato limits and the
North Carolina Une, and of at least one
third of the counties of North Carolina.
Its main hold ln those days -was the com?
mission business, and tho wholesale gro?
cery business, the wholesaling' of dry
goods, boot and shoes, hats ?nd caps,
and; lii- fact, oyecy^lnig?x..at..tho' terri,??"
I tory above outlined called-foi?. This was
a business going and coming. Petersburg
commission merchants handled and sold
I all tlie products of these Virginia and
North Carolina farms, und In turn they
and the -wholesale merchants sold all
the groceries, dry goods, shoes nnd every-.
thing consumed by tho people of that
territory.
CONDITIONS CHANGED.
In the'eourse of time conditions ohanged
and Petersburg lost a largo portion of
this valuable commission and wholesale
business. It scattered; some of it went
to Norfolk, some to Baltimore, some di?
rect to New York and Boston, and a
great deal of it fell Into the lap of Bich
marid. Petersburg did not sit down and
cry about tills change, but went to hust?
ling along other lines. Her wide-awake,
business men realized the fnet that con?
ditions were changed, and Petersburg
must change with them.
Petersburg then looked mainly to man?
ufacturing, nnd, commencing In a small
?way, it has become one of the most im?
portant manufacturing centers In Vir?
ginia or in the South, and It has devel?
oped that the temporary loss of Its com?
mission business waa a blessing in dis?
guise, in that it caused her peoplo and
her financiers to look Cor other legs to
stand upon. Tho loss of this commis?
sion business, as Intimated, was but
temporary, for in later years, Peters?
burg luis regained It; not that which she
absolutely lost in tho shape In which It
?was when lost, but to-day sho Is hand?
ling In dollars and -cents ns much of
tho products of tho farm as she did
In tho old days. Branching out Into
manufacturing most naturally resulted In
recovering the lost commission business,
thut Is to suy the handling of farm pro?
ducts.
FACTORIES BRING TRADE.
By tho establishment of cotter, fac?
tories, peanut factories, tobacco factories,
lumber consuming factories and other
manufacturing industries, Petersburg
naturally forced farm and forest products
to seek a market upon her streets, and
sho not only recovered the value of
ild-tlme commission business which ,
mudo her famous, hut In ninny
ways sho has made a net gain ln othor
lines In tho process of losing It und re?
gaining It.
Petersburg did not weep over changed
conditions, but proceeded In her own
might to creato now conditions, as well
us to take advantage of thoso that were
created for her. She built up within her
own limit a demand for the farm pro.
