The record of growth and OF
achievement of the Fairmont Sup

romance of modern business of
success.
Success for this enterprise
which is capitalized at a half mil
lion dollars and is one of the slarg-
est and most important OF bust
ness enterprises, catering to the
varied industrial activities. in this
section, is due to the painstak1ng
effort made at all times during its
career Ito provide the highest
grade OF materials and equipment
and to give the best and most
prompt service.
The company's success also Is
due In large measure to the
broad vision of the men at its
head, and to their faith in the
city Of Fairmont and its back
country-among the richest in
natural resource in the state. But
the wealth in natural resource
would be almost valueless for
practical purposes were it not for
such enterprise as that manifest
at all times by this and other such
progressive concerns.
