CITY IS ADVANCED
BY BOARD OF TRADE
Clarksburg's Interests Directed by an
Organization of More Than
400 Business Men.

The city now has an active board Of
trade, composed of over 400 of the lead
ing business men and manufacturers of
the city, and is an element working for
the common good and advancement of the
city and community Immediately adjacent
thereto. Its directors are representative
of the best in the commercial and manu-
featuring life of Clarksburg. The per-
sonnet of its active executives is well
equipped to handle specific inquiries from
out of town people, and, as the natural
resources of this particular locality give
to Clarksburg an enormous advantage
over other points in its cheap fuel alone.
together with its other advantages of
geographical location, excellent transpo--
tation facilities, raw materials near at
hand, places it in position to command
the respect and attention of the industrial
world.
The Clarksburg Board of Trade Land
Company, recently organized by the local
Board of Trade, under the laws of West
Virginia, with a capitalization of SIS, 900,
secured by purchase a property lying just
outside the city limits, comprising -
acres, which is now being subdivided into
factory sites and building lots. The main
purpose in the formation Of the Land
Company was to enable the Board of
Trade to offer free sites to prospective
manufa cturerS, and thereby enable the
City of Clarksburg to compete with other
localities, making like concessions in order
to secure additional factories. The de-
velopment of this Industrial addition to
the town of CIarksburg carries with 1t a
railroad extension up to and beyond the
property, good water supply from river
running along one boundary of same, and
a traction service thereto, with five
cent car-fare.
The greatest work now before the or
ganization is its endeavor to place Clarks-
burg district upon Pittsburg basis, TAX
ing a similar rate in and out on all ship
ments. This work is being done under
the supervision of an expert traffic COM
pany, and il is expected that the desired
adjustment of rates for Clarksburg dis
trict win be secured from the railroad
without resulting to final recourse of sp-
pearing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The prospects of another
railroad coming into this territory, a
branch Of one of the large trunk systems
of the country. are very bright, and the
Board of Trade is lending all of its in
f1uence to secure its entry into Clarks-
burg With additional transportation ia =

together with its abnormally cheap fuel

Resources of Countryside Rich and
Varied as Proven by
Recent Show.
APPEALING TO HOMESEEKER

While extolling the city and its general
tributary resources. the opportunities on
the land should not be overlooked. The
soil will produce a great variety of crops.
The staple fruits of the temperate zone
all do well. There is money in garden
ing. The market is right at home. The
raising of live stock is profitable, and
the dairyman and beekeeper will find
things to their liking.
A ResourccfuI State.
At the recent land show held in Chi
cago, West Virginia had a striking dis
play of its wonderful array of resources,
exhibits of which were gathered together
by the West Virginia Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station.
In direct contrast to the deliberately
decorated booths OF other States was the
simple yet systematic arrangement in
which West Virginia's raw materials
were shown, IMPLYING their vastness. va
riety, and limitless opportunities for de-
velopment
OF compelling interest were the facts
displayed that West Virginia has
100000 acres agricultural land.
100000 acres grazing langs.
5000, 600 acres finest fruit lands.
100000 acres virgin forest.
5000, 900. 900 feet of standing timber.
10000 acres of coal.
$50, 0oo, 100000 tons of unmined coal. the
purest and richest coal in the world.
800. 0oo. 900 tons of iron ore.
Inexhaustible quantities of limestone.
Clays and shales for brick, roofing, TIL
ing, and stoneware in boundless quanti-
ties.
Glass sands of greatest purity and I'M
limited quantity.
Thousands of oil wells, producing mil
lions of barrels of oil.
Think of the many diversified manu-
featuring plants that could be estab-
lished to take advantage of these raw
materials: the inviting opportunities that
are offered for farming, fruitgrowing,
dairying. and stock raising.
Clarksburg, with its command of the
Industrial situation. Is ambitious for the
development of every part of the State.
West Virginia has mineral lands, cheap
power from gas. coal, and water; an ex-
ceptional climate. plenty of sunshine,
ample rainfall. but what Is needed is
more people with courage and muscle
and intelligence and money to develop
the virgin wealth. Settlers are coming,
and their only regret to send friends at
their old homes is that they do not come
sooner.

has more than kept pace with the in
crease in population and manufactures,
and while one sometimes hears an ex-
preston of the opinion that the banks
are too many for a city of the size OF
Cl-rksburg, yet the steady increase In
deposits and in number of depositors in
all the banks is sufficient proof that there
is money enough in the community to
richly provide for them all. In the last
fifteen years the resources Of the banks

money; it is I'll local capital, and il is no
