MarShalI County, West virgins,
has been noted as a pleasant place Of
residences for many years, and if we
can Judge by the many persons many
Of them from the surrounding countless
who have recently removed to Mounds
vile and have purchased or bniit per-
mauent homes, it has lost none OF its
old prestige, and to-day stands as the
sixth city in point Of population IN the
state, with strong probability oil being
the fifth If the increase in the coming
year is proportlonate to that oil the
past. 90, r.
To THE MANuFAcTuRER-She oners
great inducements. Cheap C0aL The
great Pittsburgh vein uuderlays the en-
tire region and can be furnished at 9Oc
I. o. b. for run OF mine. Chsdp FGnSpor-
tatiOa. Her facilities for distributing
are unsurpassed. The trunk lines,
Baltimore K Ohio, Ohio River railroad
pennsylvania SYSTEM East, West, North
and South, and the Ohio river with her
steamers, also the U 8. and Adams Elk,
press Companies, thus with rail and
river assuring low rates and prompt
facilities in shipping. Cheap and heGtth-
full lfrino. Being the county seat oil Mar
shall, situated in beautiful valley,wlth
It's rich farm lands surrounding, the
product OF which finds ready market
In the rapidly growing town, ana nav
ing delightful climate, with chnrehes,
schools, etc. Two new school buildings
being necessary for the increased popu-
lation, one being on the lands oil the
Moundsyile Mining 4 Manufacturing
Company, with paved streets, lighted
by electricity, makes it one OF the best
places in the State for residence, thus
the manufacturer has here cheap coal,
bricks, stone. timber, and more espe-
cially the facilities for distributing their
products las the rates OF freight are the
same as from Wheeling and Pittsburgh
with the liberal terms offered by NE COM
pdny to Manufacturers are unequdtcd 6ydny
city in Me country.
TO THE MEcHANIc.-It otiers opportu-
mites for wage earning in the factories
and in building, where with good wages
and cheap and healthful living he eau
soon own home for his family.
TO THE MERCHASr-With his choice
stock OF goods there is nothing better
for him than the large manufacturing
concerns, with their busy work people;
receiving good wages. which is turned
over to him for his products.
To THE FARMER.-It makes market
for his produce, place ior the invest
ment Of his earnings in real estate,
which will bring him good returns, and
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 mar
ket which is near, and in turn can pur-
chase his supplies at equally low rates.
To THE INVESTOR. is the place to
put his money. Where factories are
located, the work people must have
houses to live in the builder must be
there to build factories and houses and
they must live; the merchant must
have his store and residence to supply
goods to the others; all these things
give work to the builder, who in turn
must secure work from the investor,
who is assured OF u good income Tor the
use OF his money.
To sum up the matter we must look
at the city about one year ago when the
Moundsvile Mining 4 Manufacture
ing Company opened its plans Of de-
velopement and then at it now. Then
it was small place under 5000 in nopu-
lation, no activity in trade, no build
ings 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 working numbers of act
i've work people, new buildings erecte d
or in course OF construction, giving
work to the mechanic, real estate ad-
vancing and everything tending to the
making OF brisk business city.
Now it has fully so per cent more OF
reputation. Active business men are
seen on all sides. Buildings have been
erected lover $50 in the year at cost
Of $3.50, 0O0). Real estate has changed
hands at a reasonable advance. yet not
too large for present owner to sell out
at profit.
They have paved streets, lighted by
electricity, large factories working num-
beers OF active work people, and in
everything a tendency is seen to renew
and improve, making it brisk buai-
ness city.
