It was due to indefatigable energy,
sound common sense and confidence
in himself that made Mr. J. E. Elam
the owner of one of the best sales stables
in this section of Virginia. Mr.
Elam buys and sells horses, mules
and blooded cattle in all parts of the
country and is regarded by all who
know him as a man of rare judgment
in his selections. Any commission
entrusted to him will receive that careful
and expert consideration which
can be expected only of those who
have made a life study of this intricate
and responsible business. Mr.
Elam specializes on fine saddlers and
drivers of good speed which must be
seen to be appreciated. His stock of
heavy draught horses and mules
which are always on hand, are as
good as money can buy, and in these
he enjoys an exceedingly large trade.
Mr. Elam's stables are thoroughly
equipped for the accommodation and
care of fifty horses, and then, there
are excellent mule and cattle pens in
connection that have no equal in this
vicinity. Mr. Elam is a native of
Buckingham county and prior to entering
his present calling was engaged
in the coal and wood business in Richmond.
He has been established in
Charlottesville about one year, but
during this brief period, owing to his
honesty and business like methods,
has built up a trade that now extends
throughout this and the adjoining
counties and before long will expand
far beyond these limits.
