what Industries Mean TO The
Citu of FairnlO1lt and It's People

SO the railroad came to the rescue
Industries and commerce make
great cities. Whenever you read
about any city of any great size
You always see something OF the
Industries carried on Inere.
There is nothing to make conf
munity grow unless it has some
Industries. Industries bring more
people make better city and
bring about improvements Of all
kinds, create a demand lor, parks,
schools, churches, paved Streets
and you can have all these IL you
have industries in your city. 'Itepn
the workfngman can enjoy Things
more.
If you have a well established
industry it usually pays well u
the company's money is invested
here the company nine times OUT
of ten will stay. The people can
depend on the firm and 1t makes
the city grow
We have all the industries here
and make all the things that some
Of the large cities have and make
Industries that are already here
have made Fairmont much pei
ter city than it used to be.
EWhen on nave iotS .ol,,i ~ t.I.A a, -
established in your city add they
are good ones, you may be sure
that it will make your city graw..
Twenty years ago, Fairmont had
population of about 5000 peo-
pie. If the industries had not come
to Fairmont, We would have about
1000 or 1000 people by now. so
you see, city can never grow
very much unless you have IN
dustries.
Now I will sum up some OF the
things that industries mean to the
city of Fairmont:
improvements amusements' pct
ter population, schools, commerce
wealthy city. better paN sanitary
railroads, better equipments.
churches, better buildings.

Ano tier important industry OF
this city is the glass factories. Two
|of the most important are the
Owens Bottle Works and the
Monongah glass factory The glass
factory employees about 1000 men
at normal times. but about 500 ! or
GOO persons at the present time
These factories put out thousands sands
Of the best glasses. cut glass and
different articles, each day. which
are sent to all parts of the counf
try.
What would the people OF this
( city do IL 1t were not for the
trains and street cars? The rail-
roads and the Monongahela PoweE
&c Railway Co. plays an import
ant part in the life Of the people
Of Fairmont and vicinity. There
are two railroads, the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Pennsylvania and
Lake Erie. These trains will take
you almost any where you wish tc
go to all parts of Fairmont and to
cities about twenty five miles dis,
tant. The power plant which fs
located at Rvesville supplies the
city with electricity and also other
cities. II it were not for these
things we would have no way t.
travel and we would have no lights
or modern conveniences which take
electricity to run or heat them.
therefore these industries are
very important.
The railroad and machine shops
play an important part in the IN
dustries of Fairmont. Many people
are employed Any one who wishes
it may go to the machine shops
and learn to be an expert mech
anic. These shops make and re-
pair engines and different things
for railroads This industry helps
the community by employing meE
and repairing and making things
for railroads so they may be in
repair and people can travel
The lumber yards and planning
mills are a very important indus
try. They employ many men. and
furnish lumber SO the people OF
| Fairmont may have beautiful
homes and buildings. Some Of thu
companies are: Southern Pine
Lumber Co, Dickerson Lumber Co.,
Kisner and Bro. Co. Fa1rmont
Wall Plaster CO., May Cement
Block Co.
