HON. GEO. W. OLIVIER.

Mayor of Charlottesville.

THE office of Mayor is one of importance
and requires a man
of keen discernment, prompt
action, firm decision, educational
ability and character far above
reproach. Such men, like the poet,
are born and not made. A man of this
class appears to be the present incumbent
of this, the highest city office,

Hon. George W. Olivier, who took his
seat September 1, 1904. He is enterprising
and has always had the future
of the city at heart, ready to sacrifice
his own private ambition to the public
weal. Mayor Olivier is the proprietor
of the University Book Store, (located
near the University of Virginia) which
has been established since 1825. Here
not alone are the students supplied
with all manner of school and text
books but may be furnished with complete
supplies including food, clothing,
hats, shoes, stationery, sporting goods,
etc., at exceedingly moderate prices.
Mr. Olivier is also ticket agent for the
C. & O. Railway, Southern Express
Company and the Adams Express
Company.
