The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1917-02-22

w. NJ. Thomas, bridge man from Los
Angeles, and filled with 1870 pounds Of
typical Los Angeles breeziness and
good sense, holds a high opinion Of
Fairmont and the Monongahela Val
ley.
"In my opinion" says Mr.. Thomas.
and his opinion by the way Is worth
something and is based on years OF
globe.trotting, "the Monongahela Val
ley, with, Pittsburgh at one end and
Fairmont at the other, Is the richest
place in the world in possibilities. At
this moment there is more smoke 60
ing up and more being done in that ter
ritory, than in any other section of the
world"
Mr.. Thomas believes that Fairmont
is fine place to live, and think Of an
opinion like that coming from man
whose home is in the "Angel City"
Mr.. Thomas agrees though that West
Virginians. and particularly some Fair
mont ones. are the hardest headed,
slow wittedest. thick skulledcst and
most unappreciatiye humans in the
United States. In Los Angeles some
types OF local business men would be
run out of town for the general good
OF the community. In the west 1t is
as much a crime to retard the modern
progress of town as it is to steal a
horse
Mr.. Thomas believes. however, that
some time West Yirginians will wake
UP to what is theirs, but not. possibly,
until after some intelligent interests
from other states come in and assume
control of things.

February Furniture Facts
with Regard to Our Furniture saIe)

For you or anybody else who needs furniture,
two considerations stand out beyond all Others.
One is the fact that you are most likely to find
the things you desire where the variety of things
are greatest.
The other is the fact that the store which shows
such incomraraby large assortments is the store
that can quote specially low prices on the most
desirable furniture without endangering the quail,
ty of it.
The only problem for anybody needing furniture
is to verify these two statements.
The Hartley store offers all its fine furniture.
living ROOM bedroom dining room, piall and office
furniture Except certain patented book cases. at
10 to so per cent reduction; average 25 per cent
The sale is on. 1T will continue all of February.
Notlce-All furniture is going to cost more than
ever. as wholesale manufacturing costs have
gone up enormously.
