The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1906-12-20
FACTORIES ARE
IN FULL BLAST
BELT LINE INDUSTRIES NEVER
WE'RE so BUSY IN THE HIS
TORY OF FAlRMoNT AS THEY
ARE AT THE PRESENT TIME
ALL ARE MAKING MONEY.

Every factory on the Belt Line is
unusually active to-day. The Monon'
gah Glass Co. had a. good year in 1905,
but It's percentage Of gain so far this
year is remarkable, November and
December will be the biggest months
lin the history Of this plant. 1t is very
busy in every department and every
thing working smoothly.
The Fairmont Window Glass Co.
is employing more people and making
more window glass this fire than ever
before.
AT the Falrmont Wall Plaster Co.'S
plant. they are very busy. more 50
than usual at this season of the year.
aud everything around this plant has
the appearance Of being very prosper
ous.
The Fairmont Mining and Machin.
cry Co. has on It's pay roll about 12S
people and is crowded in every de-
partment. This industry has orders
enough to keep 1t running until away
in the next year and has reached a
point that 1t must enlarge in almost
every department or lose a lot of busi'
ness. Business that is fast coming its
way. Turning down orders is not a
pleasant thing for any manager to do
and it is safe to assume that these
important additions will be made and
the FaIFmont Mining and machinery
Co. will soon be one of the important
Industries that Fairmont will be very
proud of.
At the Falrmont Bottle Co.'S plant
we find Mr.. Johns. tleforeman, smiling
and he told us that they were increas'
ing their output daily and showed us
what he said was believed to be the
most perfect machine made milk bottle
lin the world and the car they were load
ing with these bottles was certainly 4
sight worth any body's time and effort
to see. Everybody was on the jump
at this factory and we predict a pros.
perous year for this industry which
has been recently reorganized and new
capital added to.
At the Cumberland Glass Co. we
found Mr.. Tuttle very busy man and
this factory is now building a large
new addition. so as to increase their
etching and cutting department.
These people are unusually busy for
this time of the year and is fast be-
coming one of the important indus
tries on the Belt Line.
At Helmick Foundry and Machine
Co., Donallys Machine shop, Miller
Clark Grain Co., and Mt. City Iron
and Foundry Co., everybody seemed to
be in good humor and orders we're
plenty and outlook good. So 1t Is
safe to say that there is from % to
40 per cent. increase at this line over
any previous year of business being
now done on the Belt Line. That this
will be one Of the Happy Christmases
to the managements and employees Of
all these different. Industries goes with
out saying. Fairmont has many things
this year to be very puffed up over
and we believe that 1906 will godown
in history as one of the banner years
for Fairmont. Those on the inside
say Look out for 1907" that soon aft
er the first Of the year big things not
vet known will break loose in different
parts of our city. Mark our Dredic
tions. Fairmont will in the near fu
ture, be the second city in population
wealth and business enterprises in
the great little State of West Vir
ginia.
