The farmers OF Harrison and ad-
joining counties are TO be congratu-
lated over the consideration given
them by one of the largest, most rella-
BILE and famous manufac turing concern
OF farm implements in the world. The
Mccormick Harvesting Machine Com
pany, OF Chicago, Illinois, has paid
this fertile section Of country high
tribute by establishing mammoth
storage house In Clarksburg with a
view to convenience for the farmers, us
well as affording IN opportunity to
them to save thousands of dollars In
freight and repairs. This big ware
house is so by 100 IT. in dimensions and
It's walls and roof are made OF CORFU
gated iron, making 1t absolutely fire.
proof. This splendid building was
erected and is owned by the McCor-
mick Harvesting Machine Company
and was established with view TO
permanency. Thatlt will be an eS-
Enlistment with us for all time Is
settled, beyond theshadow OF a doubt.
1t was placed here for that express
purpose and the general popularity OF
the machines sold by that company In
this region is growing daily, and a fair
trialof the machines is all that is
necessary to make them popular. They
give entire satisfaction not only In
utility and labor saving but in en-
durance as we'll. Consequently, IN
establishment, that affords convent
ence, obviates burdensome freight
rates and furnishes machines which
meet the wants of the people and rem
des the best satisfaction, can and
wlllbuild upa trade there will never
be anecessity for rellnquishing and as
the Mccormick Company is on thp
high road to do that very thing, Its
permanency isassurcd.
Again, when we note the fact that
thisgreat and enterprising company
broke the record lastyear in the manu-
facture and sale Of harvesting ma
chimes, having made and sold for that
year BIB, 500 machines, 1t would be alb
surdto entertain the idea that such a
gigantic concern would lessen its ca.
paclty, lower its high standing, relin-
quish the splendid hold 1t has upon the
country and abandon even our own
fertile and rich agricultural region.
The big building here is literally
crowded to the very roof with a-tine
stock OF moving machines, reapers,
haryesters and binders and hay rakeS,
each department. being full and COM

to behold and none see 1t but to ad.
