Conyentions-Membe
The membership list which appears
on the back OF notices Of this meet
ing makes very good showing and
we are encouraged by the fact that
the support which We now have Is
stronger than we had last year. You
may recall some months ago pub
Hshed statement giving a list of those
who supported the board Of trade
during the year OF 1919 We are
glad to say that while some Of last
years members have not continuede
their support, we have added lar
ger number Of new members.
The reports which accompanied the
notices OF this meeting convinceinEY
demonstrate the wisdom Of maintafn
ing such an orgaDization. the work
of which has breught about results

Clarksburg IS IN the fore1ronto
West Virginia cities IN her industr1aI
development, is making a name for
herself as am aggressive bus9aesS
town. and should have Correspond
ingly strong and aggressive commer
ciaI organization. LIST us not forget
that we are known as The Fuel City
Of the Fuel State and that ourslo
gan OF $4,000 by 1920, Is not
all beyond our reach.
Conventions.
Possibly we do not stop to blink
about how much publicity, as wells
real solid dollars, comes TO our city
through the medium Of couyentfons
but we are Convinced that the bene
fits are Substantial and to that end
we are active in encouraEfnE these
gatherings. Usually those who eomes
are 1tveswires, z, and while here spend
the sheckles.
Several conventions have; already
been secured for next year through
our direct efforts and one especfal1y
worthy otmention vii; be the annual
gathering Of eachers and educatoE
OF the state who met at Ghar1est0n
this year.
