TIese is more behind the value of Morgantown
Avenue property than the mere fact Of the paved
streets, the magnificent driveway, the convenient
and beautiful grounds. This property has as its
guarantee the stability OF Fairmont real estate, the
prestige of this we'll founded city, its resources and
Si.s prospects for future growth as we'll as the Monon-
Igahe1s Industrial Company with an Investment in
contiguous real estate of over a half a million dol
lars. This company was at the beginning of the
panic beginning to locate factories on its property,
where 1t has to offer free factory sites, and which
with the assistance Of the loyal citizens OF Fairmont
was able a few months ago and is still able to offer
a 100000 bonus to a factory employing 1000 men,
notwithstanding the general depression in business
that has been felt throughout the country.
These are the real sources Of confidence behind
this property and they are strong enough to make
every dollar that Is or Is hereafter to be invested in
this properly worth more than 100 cents on the dol.

you going to wait until this property gets 80 high in
value that your means will not enable you to enjoy
its advantages? A few may, but we believe there is

IL value in Fairmont avenue property, within easy
memory Of every young man and woman in Fair

In view of the approach of the light

The number of deaths from lightning

more than four per million inhabit-

last year
The oak tree Is most liable to be
struck by lightning. The beech is
the least, the proportion being 23 to 1.
Rocky mountain regions and upper
Missouri valley see the most deaths
by lightning in the United States.
Damage by lightning in this coun-
