DANGEROUS SIGN
WILL COME down

Standard OIL and Smoot Sign
System are not such bad fellows
when they can be known intimate
ly. This wisdom for future gener-
ations was developed by the Auto
Club of Fairmont which got the as
surance today OF ]. r. Parrony OF
Baltimore, representing Standard
Oil and Polarine Gasoline, and T. H.
Gibbon, of Parkersburg, representa-
ting the Smoot Sign System who
have agreed to remove the PolaTtne
sign board which is located at a
dangerous curve Of the Barracks
Vile road.
The representative of the two
corporation no sooner saw the
sign than they assured Arthur [.
Frey, secretary OF the Auto Club
OF Fairmont and e. D. Conway.
president Of the county court that
the objections TO its Location would
not be matter OF long duration.
Just where the sign will be moved
Is not determined as yet That
matter is up today. The reason 1t
was not originally set above the
road Is that it would shut out the
property owner from getting out
ventently with his road wagon. 1t
Is possible that the sign will be
moved further down the hollow. If
the location above the road cannol
be secured, SO that there will be no
danger OF auto accidents because
the view Of drivers Is obstructed.
The officials of the Auto Club of
Fairmont state that the representa-
Ives Of the big companies are men
of the highest type. anxious to meet
the requirements of the community,
and interested in cutting out acct.
dents as we'll as being interested.
along with everyone else In saving
human lives.
1t is felt that the property owners
in that vicinity can stretch a point,
in permitting a choice location for
this sign and thus command the
thanks OF the community In general.
