...marble lobby of the Hotel Robert E. Lee, the illuminated original of Camel's famed advertisement, "Standard Equipment," greets all comers, whose attention is next attracted by a tablet emblazoned with Winston-Salem boom statistics. With those statistics on view, it is natural for many a Winston-Salemite to believe that all the world lives in his prosperous city. But there is a cosmopolitan aristocracy there also, whose spacious country homes you come to while driving out of town on the well-paved roads.
