With the realization of the work
wh,ch was the dream of the Fair
mont, Clarksburg Electric Railroad
Company and which was taken up and
executed by the Fairmont ClaFksburg
Traction Company both cities will be
mutually and materially benefited.
The cities bonded together with line
Of steel have formed community of
interests; nearer relationship of
kindred industries has been estao-
lished ana closer means of commu-
nication has been formed. The chief
work Of the two cities from this time
on will be to develop the rich terri.
tory that lies between them. The
great mineral wealth. of the Monon-
gahela valley will serve to make its
cities the most opulent in the world
and none of The cities are to share
these blessings in a greater measure
than Fairmont and Clarksburg. These
cities with their surrounding hills
yielding their resources that go into
the great markets Of the world, with
their many factories in operation and
with the prospective. enterprises in
sight, have great possibilities before
them. Possibilities that are beyond
the imaginations Of the most san
guine. And this future greatness that
Fairm6ut and Clarksburg are to en-
joy will be greatly due to the progress
sive spirit and business acumen Of
the men who were instrumental in
building the present trolley line.
BY the building OF this line greater
opportunities are afforded. And as
they present themselves they will be
taken advantage. of by the ever alert
and sagacious business men who re-
side in these corporations. Only a
few years with the rapid strides that
will be made in the industrial race
and these cities win have moved to
the front rank of the commercial
centers OF our State and will enjoy
the proud distinction that it is pos
sible for them TO achieve through the
closer union which has been formed
ana which is the wave that will carry
the twin cities to continued prosper
ity.
