A GREATER CITY.

The Industrial strength OF Wheeling
was shown in the census returns of
1910. giving the city a valuation OF its
products at $4,000. 900. with a capital
investment OF $40 .297 900. Cost of ma.
terials used. s16.O25, 900. Value added
by manufacture. sIf.O52 900. Salaries
and wages. s5.503, 900. Average of
wage earners. 1909. There are In
Fulton and Warwood large Industrial
plants which. IL these towns were
within the corporate fold OF the city.
would add considerable to the indus
trial primacy of Wheeling. There is
no other city in West Virginia that
anywhere near approaches a nearness
to Wheeling in Industrial affairs. But
they are cities swelling RAPIDLY in
population because they have the
space to expand. and one city in par
ucular may even up with Wheeling IN
population at the next census IL this
city neglects to enlarge her bounda.
ries. All OF the development that has
taken place in the suburbs has beon
tending to deplete Wheeling of its
numerical importance in the census
reports. That was the reason she
showed up to such poor advantage in
the percentage OF increase in 1910.
With her natural allies and depend.
encies added to her population. Wheel.
ing need have no fear Of comparison
with her rivals for metropolitan hon.
ors. To accomplish the contemplated
consolidation of the outlying communi.
ties with Wheeling. the promoters OF
the scheme should appeal first to
community OF interest and then 10 the
spirit OF civic pride. which. we believe
animates the breasts OF a large ma.
Jority Of the suburban populace. Get
at these people personally and coIlec.
lively. and get at them now. u will
take some work TO turn the dream into
a reality.
