The Future of Western North Carolina pamphlet was created on January 26, 1926. It contains an address by J.C. Williams who was a manager of the Development Service Southern Railway System.
J.C. (John Cassel) Williams was a manager of the Development Service Southern Railway System in 1926. The Southern Railway System was formed and incorporated in Virginia in 1894. The Southern Railway comprised at least 125 railroads with 75,000 freight cars and over 1,400 locomotives, and more than 21,000 employees. Among those rail lines were several based in North Carolina, including the Carolina & Northwestern Railway, the Atlantic, Tennessee, and Ohio Railroad, and the Atlanta & Charlotte Airline Railway.
J.C. Williams gave his address at a meeting of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce. The Asheville Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1898 when 65 local businesses came together to promote their interests. They formed the Board of Trade and this later became the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce.
The address highlights future areas of growth in the region for industries like tourism, forest and wood manufacturing, mineral resources, transportation and the Southern Railway system.
