opportunity that will be offered for
placing his money in property that is
bound to bring him profitable returns
on his outlay. -
Those who have no personal knowl-
edge OF this section OF the state, and
WHO are inclined to doubt the represen-
tations that are being mado OF its pro-
gress and the certain prosperous future
in store for it, will readily DO convinced
by visit. You are not asked TO take
these representations OH faith. but to
come and examine and scrutinize for
yourself. You will not be shown high
ly colored and artistically constructed
map OF town, only to discover that it
represents nothing more than staked
plain. But you will find n desirable
place for a home, ii you are in search OF
one; you will see the advantages any
manufacturing establishment will enjoy
by locating here; yon will at once real
ize business opportunities that will con-
found any doubts you may have had;
you will discover the surroundings and
environments OF Fairmont exceedingly
pleasant; you will meet with cordial,
frank and hospitable people and pop
ulation whose moral tone is far above
the average, and where the educational
facilities are unexcelled, summing up
community with whom it will not only
be a pleasure but profit to dwell. In
fact, it is a:place
Where every prospcc. pleascs,
And none but man Is vile
And even he, by pleasing freak in ma
ture, is,only mildly vile, merely suffer-
ing by comparison with SO much that
is perfection.
The pluck and public spirit OF tho
gentlemen OF tho Fairmont Develop.
ment Company is TO DO commended
and admired. 1t has been the custom
OF West Virginians TO ignore the posi-
bilities OF their own state and invest
their money in the mushroom towns OF
a W
the ground they tread upon were the
resources OF wealth that tho same en-
erry and capital intelligently applied
would have brought greater profits in
their development But this day is
passing away, il it has not already
gone by. The wonderful strides this
section has made has not only at
tracted home capital but has been the
magnet that has drawn the investment
OF foreign wealth and has laid the
foundation for a great industrial pros
] pority within the borders OF the rich
and resourceful Mountain State. With
the industrial and manufacturing
growth OF this section consequent OF
the development OF the resources fol-
lowed the demand for dwellings and
business houses in Fairmont. So
pressing was this demand that thirty
families were turned away April l., on
account OF inability to secure
shelter. However the purchase
by the Development company
OF the tract OF land adjacent
to Fairmont will supply this demand.
1tis the only territory in tho vicinity
available for building purposes, and in
vestmert in this property is tho most
secure and profitable ever offered. The
company has expended over $780, 900 in
securing this tract, building an iron
riaduct which connects with the town
proper, and in improving it. This
pocketbook confidence on the future OF
this section ought certainly to inspire
others to invest their money. Impos-
sible or inflated prices arc not expected
forithcse lots, and fictitious values lave
not been placed on them. The directors
and stockholders arc wise enough to
know that anything OF speculative
character connected with this enter
prise would have blishting object on
the town, and utterly defcut the object
they havo in view.
No iavoritism will be shown at this
sale, and every lot disposed OF will 20
to bona tidc bidders. No choice lots
will go to favored investors, every per-
son standing nm equal chance with his
ncighbor and the pleasure Of the
auctioneer. Remember tho sale takes
place on tho Development Compnny's
grounds, rain or shine, "Wednesday
md Thursday, May IS and 10. Ample
provision has been made for tho accom-
mediation OF visitors, and no ono need
BIO deferred from coming for fear OF not
bcing able to secure entertainment.
