Of the Wall Street bond syndicate that
ithas received similar offers from liz
nois, Indiana and Ohio towns. The
large number Of employees necessary
for plant like that Of the West vir-
ginia Plate Glass Co., and the enor-
nous quantity Of raw material that it
will require renders such an establiSl-
ment Of immense value to any towr in
which it may be located. 1t is re-
membered that eventually there VIII
be a weekly pay roll OF $4,000 and at
least an expenditure Of as much more
for raw material, packing, shipping
and transportation.
President Frank S. BrockettIs anx-'
ioss to keep it at Morgantown.
Judging from Wall Street gossip it
is intended to make Mr.. BrOckett's
company the leader in It's line Of pro-
duction, the question OF capital and
extension having been definitely set
tied.
West Virginia is so rich in the ma
terials necessary for producing hi III

facture naturally belongs there,and ! he
question now is which Of these towns

time picking up acquaintance among
those who are willing to work for
their living. These men he uses when
he needs them. While he is COM
fortably fixed at the Y. M. c. A., he
does little except accept cigarettes and
beer from them, usually at his own
suggestion. but, as soon as his three
weeks begins to draw to a close. he
becomes as friendly with these men as
possible.
Then he leaves the Y. M. c. A.
with prsises ringing in his ear. He
says he has secured a job in Phila.-

for his kindness and disappears. Bur
he does not go to Philadelphia. He
begins to use his newly made friends.
AT $50 O'Clock every night he sends
one of them to the Salvation Army
headquarters to get a ticket for a bed
and meal. This friend is always one
who has paid for a bed in some lodg-

the ticket. AS a mark of his friend
ship he gives the ticket to the aristo-
