his visit here he purchased several
lots from the Industrial company
in the company's addition, where
lots are selling like hot cakes.

states that he came back here with
no thought of purchasing more
property in Clarksburg, but his att
tention was called to the splendid
residence suburb owned by the
Clarksburg Industrial Company and
being developed by that company,

with him that he did not hesitate to
make up his mind to invest some
money there, and so bought several
nice lots. He thinks it will soon be
the business center of Clarksburg.

money to invest in real estate" said

buy lots in the Clarksburg industrial
addition" Mr.. Morris speaks In

two lots there for $4,000 each and
would not take less than $4,000 for
