Excerpt from The Black and Gold, Vol. 2: November, 1911 The natural advantages of our city exceed those of any other in the State. From governmental reports made in 1907 it has been shown that our section has the lowest death rate of any section in the State. The altitude is one thousand feet above sea-level. The climate is temperate, dry, and healthful, the thermometer hardly ever standing above 90 degrees in summer nor below 20 degrees in winter. Winston-salem is also the nearest city in the State to the coal-mining regions, and this of course, means reduced prices on this commodity. Being also near the Blue Ridge Mountains, manufacturers may easily secure the sturdy and industrious mountain folk as laborers. The water supply is very abundant and is furnished at an extremely low rate, and, when used for drinking purposes, is very pure.
