Has been noted as pleasant place or
residence for many years and il we can
Judge by the many persons, (many OF
them from the surrounding counties,l
who have recently removed to Mounds
Vile and have purchased or built per-
manent homes, it has lost none OF MS
old prestige and to-day stands as the
sixth city in point Of population in the
State, with a strong probability OF be-
ing the fifth IL the increase In the CON-
ing year is proportionate to that OF the
past.
To THE MANUFACTURER, she offers
great inducements. Cheap Coal. The
great Pittsburg vein underlays the en-
tire region and can be furnished at 90c
(. O. b. for run OF mine. Cheap trans
portdtion. Her facilities for distribu-
ting are unsurpassed. Two trunk lines

tem)-East, West, North and South.
and the Ohio River, with her
steamers. also the U. S. and
Adams Express Companies, thus with
rail and river, assuring low rates and
prompt facilities in shipping. Cheap and
HeaItltfltL Living. Being the county
seat of Marshall, situated in beautiful
valley, with It's rich farm lands sur
roundings, the product Of which finds
ready market in the rapidly growing
town, and having delightful climate,
with churches, schools, two new school
buildings being necessary for the in
creased population, one being on
the lands of the NJ. NJ. 81
NJ, with paved streets, lighted
by electricity, makes it one OF the best
places in the state for residences, thus
the manufacturer has here cheap coal +,
bricks, stone, sand, timber and more
especially all facilities for distributing
their products (as the rates of freight
are the same as from Wheeling and
Pittsburgh, with the liberal terms offered
bu the company to manufacturers is ull-
eQltaLLed by any city IN the country.
To THE MECHANIC it offers oppor-
tunities for wage earning in the fac
tories and in building, where, with good
wages and cheap and healthful living,
he can soon own home for his family,
To THE MERCHANT. With his stock
of goods there is nothing better for him
than the large manufacturing concerns,
with their busy work people, receiving
good wages, which are turned over TO
him for his products.
To THE FARMER. 1t makes market
for his produce, place for the invest
.ment of his earnings in Real Estate,
which will bring him good returns, and
a home where he can retire and enjoy
the benefits of his investments. As the
city increases the farmer has more Gus
toners, he has shorter hauls to a market
which is near, and in turn can purchase
his supplies at equally low rates.
TO THE INVESTOR. 1t is the place to
put his money. Where factories are
located, the work people must have
hnpses to live in, the builder must be
there 10 build facto' -es and houses and
thew mist i've, the merchant must have
his residence anu store to supply goods
to the others, all these things give
work to the builder, who In slrn must
secure work from the investor, "h2 Is
assured of good income for the use o.
his money.
To sum up the matter zoe must look al
the city about one year ago, when the
Moundsville Mining and Manufacturing
Company opened its plans of develop
ment, and then at 1t nolU. Then it was
a small place, under 5000 in population,
no activity in trade, no buildings being
erected, no property being sold, because
there was no call for real estate, it did
not pay. Now, we see paved streets,
lighted by electricity, large factories
-. ~ manila
new buildings erected or in course OF
construction, giving work to the me-
chanic, real estate advancing and every
thing tending to the making Of brisk
business city.
Now it has fully so per cent more of
population. Active business men are
seen on all sides. Buildings have been
erected lover $50 in the year, at a cost
of $3.50, 900. Real estate has changed
hands at a reasonable advance; the
present prices not too large for present
owner to sell out at further advance.
They have paved streets, lighted by
electricity, large factories working num-
bers of active people, and in everything
a tendency is seen to renew and i'm
prove, making it brisk business city.
The MOLlldSUtLte Mining ana Manu-
featuring Company, to l0hOm the credit
Is jttstly due for this improvement, will
