An Extensive Manufacturing Estab-
lishment by the Mcclure Manufac-
turing and Machine Works Co.
Verify, Booms are Many and Varied,
but the Boom Of the Gas and Oil
Town is Substantial-McCIu
is Both.

Situated In q belt OF IHnQ recognized
by all to be prolific in oil and gas, Nc,
Clure has been patiently waiting the
development OF these commodities III
spring ut once to success and prosperity
to take her position among the real
live and thrifty towns that have become
noted for miraculous growth and dot so
plentifuIly the landscape of North
western Ohio. Her position in the gas
field, her excellent railway facilities
and prospects, her excellent building
cites for business blocks and residences,
the fertility of the soil that has always
characterized Henry county-all COM
bined, demand that such good qualities
should not lie in latent condition
Ionger-that her "taients shall not, be
hid under busheln but shall shine
forth with Iustre ofbrilliancy to meet
the gaze Of an admiring section not
jealous section, for 1t Is McC Clure's due
and the time is ripe for the fruit to be
plucked.
McCiure's citizens all appreciate this
situation and have their shoulders to
the wheel, each Jealous in the towns
interest and eager to eclipse his neigh
Dor in the towns behalf. With such q
unanimity of feeling, backed by her
natural facilities and company with
unlimited financial resources, success
is certain.
Mr.. g. c. L. WuIff recently of Del
phos but now OF McC Clure, with the sup
port of McC Clure's most substantial busi-
ness men, is engaged in the promo
tion Of the welfare of the town. He Is
president of a company formed by New
York and Indianapolis capitalists
whose business it is to organize and
promote manufacturing companies
The company controls twenty-three
patents, the most of which comprise
The Foster Patents. We have thor
oughly investigated the matter and our
conclusion deduced is that the COM
pany's proposition is fair and legiti-
mate if carried out as proposed, and we
have every reason to believe Mr.. Wulff
to be man who will fulfill his portion
of the agreement to the very letter. He
has already invested In different kinds
OF property, buying the grain elevator
and one hundred and sixty acres of
land besides other purchases. His
proposition as understood by US is that
the Mcclure Manufacturing Company
and Machine Works obligates itself
that upon the sale of200 lots at the con-
sideration of $50 each of not less than
7500 square feet, situated in the sub
urbs of Mcclure and to be known as
the Mcclure Manufacturing Company
and Machine Works Addition to the
town of Mcclure; one-third of the said
purchase price to be paid In cash when
the 200 lots have been sold; one-third
when the buildings hereinafter are un-
der roof and the remaining third when
the mandatory is in operation. The
company agrees to erect buildings with
q capacity Of employing 100 to $50 men
and other buildings as may be neces-
sary for the manufacturing of wagons,
buggies, flexible street and sidewalk
pavement, sewerage system, a full line
of hay tools and various other
inventions. It must be remembered
that the patents for these articles are
exclusively controlled by this COM
pany, eight of them being Mr.. Wulf's|
own inventions.
These lots, when the number sold
reaches 200 are to be numbered and as
signed to owners by public drawing
conducted by disinterested parties.
MIR. WulR Is comparatively a strang-
er to the majority of his friends, but he |
has been known to many for years. mi

confidence the following contract was
executed
