of all to build a good road and
after discussing the matter pro and
con committee composed of Wal
ter R. Staples, A. c. Jackson and
Ralph Broadwaters was appointed
to ascertain the probable cost OF a
paved or a macadamized road. The
paved road IS the proper
road to build provided the cost

day night when an other meeting
will be held. While the attendance
was very good last night and no

NEW TOWN TO BE BUILT

icover 237 acres OF the finest build.
Ing land In the Ohio Valleys second
only to the building land lying
around SistersvilIe. While this
land Is not located so far above high
water as the land that lies around
Sistersville, still it Is away above
the highest known food in the
Ohio Valley. The land Is sandy
and gravelly. There Is fine natur-
al harbor In front of the land. 1t Is
an ideal place to build suburb to
Sistersville on.
One of the new manufacturing
plants that will be erected at Padeu
Valley will be rolling mill, which
will include twenty pudding mills,
open hearth furnace and sheet
rolls. Two steel buildings, each
15S by I'll feet have been pur-
chased at Minneapolis from the
Republic Iron and Steel company
and will be taken down and the
material brought to Paden Valley
AID erected at once. Uutil these
buildings 60 up the Paden Land
company will offer no lots for sale.
This enterprise Is said to be headed
by John Rabenstein, president OF
the Eldener Iron & Steel company,
of Irwin, Pa.
In addition to this two or three
other manufacturing plants will be
located, among which Is a factory
to manufacture bottles and other
small glassware. This will give
employment to many men and we
are informed by tie railroad men
that they have manufacturing
plants enough secured to give EN-.
ployment to three thousand men.
We believe this statement. This
company has so far done everything
just as they have agreed to do, then
why doubt this statement. The
fact that they will offer no lots for
sale until the railroad Is In opera

Sometime since the OH Review
published a report of the incorpora'
ting by the State authorities OF the
"Paden Land Company" This
company Is composed of the same
gentlemen who are nbw having an
Electric railroad built from this
city to Padens Valley. A charter
was received last night from
Charlestown. Incorporating the
"Paden Gas Co." In this company
Messers Watkins and Miller, of the
railroad and land company are
heavy stockholders. This COM
pany will furnish gas to the new
mills at Padens Valley and to the
people who will live there We
mention these facts because we are
all interested In the matter and In
everything being done so far the
railroad company Is taking an ac-
tive part and spending their money
all of which shows their good fsith
and determination to build a new
town at Padens Valley and an elec-
tric road as agreed upon hereto
fore.
The Padeu Land company has
laid out 1,34o lots at Padens Valley.
These lots will not be for sale until
In September when the railroad
will be running from this city to
the Valley and the manufacturing
plants will be we'll under way.
Some outside parties have bought
some land considerable distance
from the heart Of the new town and
will no doubt putitheir lots on the
market at once. Our advice would
be to the public to let these lots
severely alone. Wait until the
town Is In proper shape and then
It's high time to buy and If you do
wait you will see what fake the
other lot sale was The lots laid

Enterprise and Merit the Backbone OfthlS
Vast Business

: The supremacy of this store is not
due to chance or accident. 1t has been
striven for. We tried hard to succeed.
But success here does not stifie effort.
We not only rigidy maintain the high
standard to which we have raised our
merchandise, but better it whenever
betterment is possible.
We improve as we go along-have
been doing it since in business, until
now. We place before the people of
Sistersville line of merchandise that
has every fine point of good quality.
Even our lowest priced goods possess
exceptional good merits.
For Years This Store
has shown the largest Ladies Ready
ade.to-wear stock in this section of
the country, and this Spring the stock
is larger than than ever. Only one
reason for this, the constant broadening
out of this business necessitated it. 1t
logically follows that Our purchasing
power is correspondingly greater. Hence
our ability to serve our patrons better
this season than ever before. Nothing
startling about our low prices, ANY dealer
(even the smallest) can meet them,
Its i'm the goods at the price,
that's where n our leadership lies.
