WIDER MARKET PROVIDED
Travelling Man Tells Of lnten-
sified Home Spirit He Found
in Southern City.

AS a direct result OF the buy in
Clarksburg campaign being waged
by the Telegram, not only are local
merchants and business men being
materially benefited. the local buyers
afforded special advantages. but the
farmers, growers and poultry pro-
ducers of the Clarksburg territory
have been brought to a wider and
more regular market. The spirit Of
buy In Clarksburg has become so
well inbedded in the minds of the
merchants and people OF the city and
vicinity, that Clarksburg grown pro-
ducts and Clarksburg made articles
are being more persistently demand
ed.
More actual consumers are being
brought to the realization that there
are Clarksburg grown vegetables to
be obtained from fiourishing Clarks-
burg Clarksburg farms, and Clarks-
burg farms, and Clarksburg
grown chickens raised by Clarxs-
burg poultry men. with fresh
eggs in plentiful supply. These ar
ticles are coming into greater demand
and to such noticeable extent that
more people are going into these var
ious lines Of endeavor This is made
plainly evident in the wholesale
manner in which garden and farm
implements and machinery are be-
ing purchased, and the greatly in
creased demand for poultry netting.
The grip obtained upon a much
larger percentage Of the people as
whole than has been fully realized
or recognized by the great mail
order houses scattered through
out the country had reached such q
point that not only stagnatlon affect
ed the local merchants Of the var
ious localities, but actual obligation
in many places occurred. This dis
tressing condition of affairs had not
been brought about in Clarksburg
but 1t was realized that there has
been too much of Clarksburg-earne
money going to the great cities Of the
+. nation for articles that could be as
cheaply, more conveniently and with
letter satisfaction purchased right
a. home.
Buy In Clarksburg Campaign
Ina,rsurated by Telegram
The Telegram realized this fact
and inaugurated the buy in Clarks-
burg campaign for the mutual in-
tcrests OF the Clarksburg merchants
and business men and the Clarks-
burg buyers and consumers. Re-
suits SO far obtained, as admitted
and commented upon by the pro-
gressive merchants and business men
Of the city, have fully warranted and
repaid for the time and effort de-
voted TO the campaign, and the buy
in Clarksburg" slogan has become
the effective and beneficial PROPOSE
tion to all sides and angles of sellers
and buyers.
Gradually, from this beginning, 1t
was realized that this much.desired
Capitalization of ClarKsburg trade
IL Clarksburg has an ever larger and
greater possibility, hence the cam
paign for the farmers, growers and
poultry people of the Clarksburg
vicinity to bring their products into
the city OF Clarksburg for sale and
to come to this city to reciprocally
do their trading.
In some quarters 1t is claimed that
residents of the rural mail routes are
heavy patrons of the great mail or
der houses. To eliminate this con-
dition as far as the vicinity and en-
yirons OF Clarksburg are concerned,
is the hope Of the merchants. busi-
ness men and individual consumers Of
the city OF Clarksburg.
A pooling Of interests in the man
ner suggested, 1t is maintained by
people to whom the idea has been
seriously and exclusively suggested,
will be certain to eventually result
in not only closer, better and more
satisfactory business relationships
between the seller and buyer, but
will develop for the Harrison county
farmers, growers and poultry pro-
ducers wider, more desirable and
convenient market right at home
a market that must needs mean to
each and all of them quicker money,
surer money and an absolute avoid
. ance OF losses in shipments. excessive
freight and express charges and the
worry and delay In settlements from
foreign brokers and handlers OF their
output.
Various Angles Shown in Buy in
Clarksburg Campaign.
Still another angle Is given the
possibility Of such cooperation. This
Is connected with the dairy output.
It has been pointed out that Clarks-
burg and vicinity is blessed. with some
of the most sanitary diaries in the
United States. the result OF persistent
and insistent work Of the health and

Clarksburg people are being urg-
ed to give their dairy patronage to
the Clarksburg diaries. thereby en-
abling them to increase the scope of
their work. buy their feed stutfs from
clarksburg dealers and spend their
Clarksburg-earned money with
clarksburg business houses. thereby
aiding in the creation and mainten-
