APPROVE OF 1T.
MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT. GIVEN
SPECIAL AGENTS OF THE
WEST viRGiNiAN'S IN.
DusTRlAL EDITION..

The announcement printed In. the
columns, Of the West virginlan on
Thursday last to the effect that Fair
mont's splendid resources as a manu-
featuring and business center were to
be exploited through the medium Of a
handsome illustrated Industrial edI-
ton of this paper. was read by the
business public Of the city with graft
ficatlon.
1t is very generally acknowledged
by those who take more than selfish
or alien interest in the growth and
development of this highly favored
spot in West Virginia, that 1t is time
to concentrate efforts and energy to
the end that greater industrial growth
may be promoted.
A community cannot stand still. II
must either progress or retrograde;
move forward or backward. 1t IL fol.
ly to assert that any town or city has
reached Its limitations Of growth, and
Fairmont has possibilities before It in
this. direction that are practically II.
limitable.
1t is not drawing on the Imagination
to predict that before another decade
has passed, the population OF our city
will have reached the $4,000 mark.
To attain this desired end, however,
the conservation Of energies Is essen.
tial. The city and It's advantages must
be advertised. and facts and figures
widely disseminated showing Just why
Fairmont is the BEST place in West
Virginia In which to establish new
manufacturing and other Industrial en-.
terprises.
This will be the chief object Of
the edition on which work has already
been begun. Within its pages will be
epitomized every advantage, facility
and resource possessed within the
boundaries OF city and county. The
arts Photographic, engraving and typo.
graphic will be drawn upon without
reference to expense to make the 1908
Industrial Edition of the West Virgin.
Ian the handsomest, and in all re.
spects the best piece Of newspaper
magazine work ever produced in this
State. 1t will be unique.
From time to time reference to tho
progress OF the work on the Industrial
Edition will be made in the columns
OF this paper. The public Will be
made fully informed as to the specIal
FEATURES to be embodied. These will.
OF course, include everything pertain.
Ing to the welfare of the city, and
much besides Of broader scope. Ar.
rangements have been made to print
a number of special articles from the
pens Of some Of the best informed and
brightest writer's Of the State, which
VIII prove Of the deepest interest
Thus far, nothing but encouragement
has been received by the publishers
OF the West virginian from those most
Interested in the continued prosperity
of our city. The success Of the enter.
prise Is amply assured.
