The wonderful natural resources Of
west virginia in coal, oil and gas arc
attracting to II fortunes for investment
in lands and industrial enterprise Of all
kinds. Because of these conditions hum
dreds Of towns have sprung up in tho
coal, OH and gas districts which are today
scenes OF the greatest industrial activity.
and where there Is constantly presented
every advantage to attain Independence
and comfort. In view Of these facts,
the founding OF the new manufacturing
town, East Clarksburg, is of more than
passing interest, for It offers now to
capitalists and manufacturers all the nat
urnl advantages mentioned above, and.
in addition, free sites for plants, the sub
stantial corporation of leading and in
Auential business men, and the best Of
economic conditions in home ownership
and living accommodations.
East Clarksburg occupies what was
formerly known rs the Camden farm,
which comprised 1872 acres. and imrmc-
diately adioins Clnrksburg ON the east
three-quarters Of n mile from the court
house. This property was purchased sew
eral months ago by the Clnrksburg In.
dustrial company, plntted and subdivided
and streets made, with 800 lots laid out
for residence purposes. Sixteen resi-
dcnces have already been erected md
many others are in contemplation. The
Clarksburg Industrial Company has
set apart thirty acres for manufacturing
sites, which will be given free to those
desiring to locate their plants. aiding in
every way possible, by enterprising meth
DDS and liberal policies, contemplated un-
dertakings and proposed improvements.
This company offers substantial OPP
portunity to investors in every piece of
property they are offering for sale, for
East Clarksburg will b. in the very near
future thriving manufacturing center.
and that means, in time, the increase of
real estate ten fold over the prices now
asked. This has been the history Of all
towns in this section. and it Is bound to
be that Of East Clarksburg. because It's

promising. The company has already ex.
