INDUSTRIAL
EDITION OF The
West. " ( vIRGINIAN q C
Will Exploit the
Advantages a Of
This Region,

Nearly seven years ago. the Fair
, mont West Virginlan published a spe
cial industrial edition having for 1t.
aim the advertising Of the city O
Fairmont and its envlrons as an excep
tionally desirable locality for. the car
, rying on OF manufacturing industries
This edition, profusely illustrated
handsomely designed and carefully
edited. was mailed broadcast through
out the United States and served ar
excellent purpose in that 1t brough,
our city and. county into s. ch promi
nence as 1t had never previously
known, with the result that decided
impetus was given to all branches oil
local industry.
In the opinion Of many OF Fair
mont's leading and most active bust
ness and professional men. the time
has again arrived when Wide publicity
along similar lines should be given to
the. fact that Fairmont offers adyan,
tages to manufacturers and Industrial
plants unsurpassed. II equalled, In the
State OF West Virginia. This opinion
is shared by the publishers OF the West
Virginian.
II is a fact, not to be. controverted.
that cities, like business enterprises,
need TO be advertised. II expansion.
PROGRESS, and, added prosperity are
sought or desired. Advertising Of this
character is costly, but 1t pays-pays
handsomely in the end. An apathetic
business community, one without en-.
terprise. initiative or ambition, will
eventually-to quote. former presl
dent-decline into condition Of "ln.
ocuous desuetude." The largest and
most prosperous cities Of the United
States today are the ones that have
advertised themselves most, or in the
vernacular Of the age, Blown their
own horns loudest."
Believing this to be true, the Fair.
mont West yirglnian has undertaken
to publish 1908 SPECIAL INDUS.
