IL has always been thought that
hingwood. while a beautiful place 10
live, was unsuited for commercial de-
velopment. This has proven TO be
not the case for our town is now en-
1oying more growth I'm an industrial
way than most any small town we
know OF All the mines are I'm full op-
Grafton and new ones are being open
ed up. the stone quarry employs up-
ward OF a hundred high priced men
and is wanting more. and the new
glass plant will start off with seventy
FIVE hands. which will be increased
from time to time. In addition 10 this
negotiations are now on looking TO the
location OF another glass plant which
will employ forty TO fifty hands. so the
people of our lively little town have
cause TO feel just little chesty over
the progress that is being made along
this line.
Probably the most gratifying feat
ure OF IL is that we are developing
our town ourselves and that It is local
capital that is helping materially with
these industries.
AS the good roads system is devel-
oped in the county Kingwood will be
right at the center OF the entire sys-
tenn and will be easy OF access from all
sections OF the county. Our school is
considered one of the very best i'm the
state, and now since the course in nor
NAL training has been added TO the
high school curriculum many students
are coming in from other sections of
the county to attend
The pressing demand right now is
for houses TO properly take care of the
people that are now here and those
that are constantly coming
We are within the bounds OF con-
servatism when we state that at least
twenty houses could be rented right
now, and with the increased number
OF men that will be put on at the
quarry and those that will be employ
ed by the glass plants fifty new houses
will be needed in the next six months.
II is rumored that the owners of
the tract OF land now used as base
ball field. lying between the town
proper and the NJ. & X. station, will
sub-divide ii and sell in small lots.
and that new street will be opened
up from just back OF the National
bank to the station. This will be
good news If true for the opening of
such a street will make a much better
grade than we now have. and will
also shorten the distance to the station
quite materially.
