"Spring at Lithia is Being Exploited"

Title: "Spring at Lithia is Being Exploited"
Date: 1929-03-14
Description: A newspaper article about the Lithia Spring, which reads,

"Spring at Lithia is Being Exploited

A spring from which this town gets its name and known in this section of Botetourt since before the advent of the white man, is being developed by Frank H. Fringer, of Lithia, and the water is being marketed in Roanoke in considerable quantity.

Travelers who used the old detour road from Mill Creek church to Buchanan when the Lee Highway was under construction, know the scene. The spring flows out of comparatively level ground almost on the line of the Norfolk and Western right-of-way in front of the old Falls homestead at the northern edge of town.

Mr. Fringer recently completed improvements which form a concrete pool about eight feet square and almost as deep, with a frame spring house covering the pool. He began marketing the water in a small way during the past year and now maintains regular delivery service to Roanoke. - Roanoke Times."
