aware of the fact taat our little city
can boast Of having tae largest and best
storage wareaous, in the state. Many
,adransages Of an enterprise of this kind
cannot be told in few words, W., how
ever. find that it is a necessity TO all
classes.
BY special arrangements with tine B
& o. Railroad Company the Central
Storage Company can receive goods at
the freight depot, nave them loaded in
/, car and delivered to their warehouse
without any cost Of drayage to tas
owner. Besides this item, tnere is less
handling, hence not 40 mucn breakage,
AMI the same arrangements apply on
goods which are placed in storage with
ais concern for shipments out of Clarks-
burg.
The building occupied is located on
North Sixth street, Glen Elk, is brick
Eve stories in height and has a capacity
OF 200 car loads. or ten train loads, or
in other words l2,sOO,OOO pounds. The
risk in storing in such building is cer-
tainly not 30 great as in the small frame
snacks which some cities call their stor-
age warehouses.
A Telegram reporter was today in con-
yersation with the manager of the Cen
trail Storage Company and finds That
goods are stored with them by various
concerns as far west as San Francisco,
a far south as Texas, as far north as
Caicago, and as Tar east as New York.
He finds that daily goods are forwarded
to all points in the United States. .fHe
also discovered that negotiable wSfes

Not being accustomed to the advantages
of this form Of receipt our readers will
want enlightenment To explain, When

Banks in every part of the United

helped many a poor man wao needed
financial aid. !
A few days ago We We're complain
ing in an editorial about goods being
nuctioned off in front of the court house.
Since that time we discovered that in
all large cities the storage warehouses
are used for such purposes. The D. &
o. r. r. Co. seems to nave been among
the first to appreciate the advantages of
Clarksburg, and have made arrangements
with the Central Storage Company to
turn over to the mall uncalled for goods,
thereby keeping taeir own ware rooms
in good order and at the same time stor.
ing the goods where they viii be cared
for properly until called for. We find
That every little package, no matter
how small. is cared for Just the same
as il it were car load. OF course tnis
is through the up to date system used
the manager tells US tnat in years
time all of the many car loads whicl
they have handled not single package
has been lost or in any way unaccounted
for. This seems unreasonable, however
it SHOWS that the Central Storage Com
pany appreciate the Importance of beint
favored and that they are in the bust
ness to serve their patrons in the very
best way possible.
