NEW INDUSTRY
NOW TURNING
OUT 'UPR0C0'
Complete Line Of Veterinary
Medicines Are Being
Manufactured.

FAIRM0NT, Jan. 8-The Universal
Products Company Is new concern
Of which Fairmont may justly be
proud. Started but few weeks ago;
owned entirely by local capital. it is
already doing such a volume Of bus
mess as to attract the attention OF the
kecnest minds everywhere. With large
capital and ample manufacturing ia
cilIties there is a brilliant future be-
I fore this exclusively Fairmont enter
prise.
Only last month a group OF the
most far seeing business men OF ms
city formed the company and began
the manufacture of q complete line
OF veterinary medicines, stock and
poultry woods. The new corporation
secured the large building which for
merly was known as the second ward
school house and there established
what is fondly believed will soon be-
come Fairmont's greatest factory IN
dustry. The products OF the concern
have been named "Uproco' and every
one of the dozen or so pieces OF goods
goes under that name.
Although 1t is not patterned after
any other concern yet It is Inevitable
that the chances for success for the
new company shall be compared with
the beginnings Of some others in the
same line which are well known for
large capital and success in business
methods. The Universal company can
be said to have started where the 9TH
ers have left off, In beauty of pack
age, quality of goods and in the cap
ital necessary to carry on the BUS
mess they are far beyond the others.
There is scarcely company in this
line that has had so many elements
in its favor as has the local concern.
The formulas used by the Universal
company have been worked out only
after long study and experimentation.
They have been the subject OF severe
tests both in the laboratory and on
the farm for long time. The finished
products have been submitted to the
experts of the greatest agricultural
colleges and experiment stations IN
the several states. All OF them agree
With the verdict OF our own univer-
slty at Morgantown, and that Is that
no line of remedies and stock foods
now ON the market are so well adapt
cd for the purposes for which they
are marketed.
With this recommendation behind
them 1t was not difficult to induce the
following we'll known Fairmonters to
invest their money in the new enter
nrise and become the founders OF a
new era in the manufacturing history
Of this city. The stockholders of the
Universal Products Company are
Messrs. IF. l.. Heintzleman. j. NJ.
BrownHeld, R. T. Cunningham, U. a.
Woods, Homer Hall, S. S. Cochran
l.. M. Davis, Fl. II. Lanham, John \.
aite and E. A. Bartlett.
E. A. Bartlett is the originator OF
the uproco products and he is IN
charge Of the big plant at the corner
of Adams and Quincy streets. MT
Bartlett was a member Of the Harri-
son county bar residing at Clarksburg,
He gave up a large practice to devote
his entire time to the manufacture ana
sale of the remedies and foods which
he has formulated. He is genius OF
craftsmanship and already the sales
amount TO several thousands OF dol
lars. The shipments after but hve
weeks OF manufacturing aggregate
about two car loads per week. With
Mr. Bartlett in charge and backed up
nv company of stockholders such
as he has gathered about him there is
no doubt OF the immense success oil
the new concern. :,
A visit to the plant Is always well
come and is a pleasure to those in
charge as well as the visitors. The
basement of the large building and the
two upper floors are full of the raw
and manufactured materials used IN
making Uproco products Great
hays and bales Of the most expensive
drugs are seen on all sides. In spite
Of the fact that all drugs in the IA"
state are very costly at this time be-
cause of the great European war, Up
roco is the cheapest as well as the
best line of remedies and foods or
the market.
Craftsmanship and printers ink are
the two great factors in the success
full marketing of products of this kind
Recognizing this as an axiom Man,
ager Bartlett has already gathered
about him a force Of ten of the best
travelling statesmen procurable. AL
ready they are covering the states Of
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky
Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Illinois ant
Pennsylvania. Others will be put or
the road as fast as men of the righl
calber can be obtained.
The company does large part o.
its own printing. A press capable o.
turning out much of the smaller
printing has already been set up. II
