Syndicate Wants To
Represent Fairmont
.mckEAND SERVICE COMPANY
REPRESENTATIVE TALKS AT
COMMERCE CHAMBER

The Mckeand Service company's
representative, Mr.. Watson, met mem
bers and directors of the Fairmont
Chamber Of Commerce yesterday even
ing, and outlined the plan Of that com
pany in developing towns and business
organizations. The McKeand Service
company Of indianapolis, Indiana, is
a sort OF syndicated industrial agent
bureau and does the industrial agent
work for number of cities.
While Mr.. Watson's talk was I'M
pressive and interesting it Is not like
~ that the local chamber Will consider
such a proposition very seriously. The
local chamber is well organized and
efficient enough to back up an in
dustrial agent of its own. 1t Is the
consensus OF opinion OF the local mem
bers that an exclusive agent working
for Fairmont alone will accomplish
more than would a bureau such as the
McKeand Service company.
The committee that is working on
the industrial agent proposition has
made no report as yet but tho members
are daily gathering data on the ques-
tion and are in touch with a number
Of men that might possibly be secur-
ed. AS soon as the committee Is ready
to make a report another meeting of
the chamber will be called and some
action will then likely be taken in
the matter

THE RICHEST WOMAN
THIS WOMAN WAS NOT

The papers announced ON their first
pages the other day that the richest Wu-
man in the world had died What did
they mean2 Simply that a woman who
possessed more dollars than any other
had passed away and !e:; a. lat she
had, all that she loved, behind After
reading a short history of her life and
possessions we deny that she was the
richest woman in the world Compar-
ing her life with countless others we
know, il seems cold and barren. The Wo-
men whose lives are spent inloving ser
vice for Others: whose arms know the
loving embrace OF little children, and
whose ears are attuned 10 the prattle
and laughter of their little ones exper-
fence happiness that can never be IN
