Industry

Charles Town and Ransom Ready -
Welcome Law-Abiding Citizen.
But It's Industries Want No Other.
Not Strictly Industrial Community
But Has Place for Industries in Il.
Scheme of Things
Charles Town. located in the
heart of one of the finest agricultural
sections Of America. is not strictlv
IN industrial community. though i
has unexcelled industrial resources
awaiting proper DEVELOPMENT. Char
les Town nroner. has few large in
dustries. but next door is its sister
Psnson. an industrial community.
where industries have been egvrepaf
ed and are operating in full swing
There has never been any great
effort on the part of Charles Town
citizens to attract industries to this
section Unfortunately. because GER
tain classes of industry invariably
bring in their wake class of citizen
that Charles Town does not encour-
age. It is a purely American COM
munity. a law-abiding community
and only those industries whose
workmen and whose officials are
ready to coorerate to work cut the
DESTINY of this section along the lines
prescribed by its better citizens. are
desired.
In Ransom snokestacks rise to the
skies. Industry is humming. and the
f, products which bear the stamp of
Jefferson county are being manufae-
| tured for the commerce OF the world
In few communities in America has
such an arrangement been perfected.
There ere practicable no mercan-
/ tile establishments in Ransom. which
Is an INCORPORATED town set aside al
mos exclusively for industries. The
people of Charles Town work in
Ransom. and have substantial inter-
ests there. but the smoke and noise
of factories is set aside in a place of
its own. where il will not interfere
with the pleasant life of historic old
Charles Town.
Industry has not been developed
here in mushroom" fashion. but
on solid lines and allowed to grow
steadily and conservatively. In per-
iods of business depression the bust
ness of Charles Town and Ransom
has not been compelled TO react un-
| favorably to the downward trend. It
is growing along conservative lines,
and its growth is deeply rooted in the
natural resources of Jefferson coun-
| ty.
And. unlike many other communi-
| ties. Charles Town has a diversified
industrial situation. It's surrounding
country produces a diversity of
crops Should one crop fail. there is
always another to compensate for the
loss.
Should the markets of the world
react TO some cause and render the
products of one industry temporarily
useless. there are other industries to
keen employment at hioh pitch. and
keen the flow of prosperity running
smoothly.
In a great many respects the in
| dustrial situation of Charles Town
/ approaches the ideal. It's working
people are well paid. are good citi-
zens. and manv own their homes. and
participate in the social life of the
community. It is community of
Americans. where substantial bust
ness is the foundation for community
life. The people are proud of their
achievements. and patriotically and
progressively are moving forward to
still greater achievements in bust
ness. in the social virtues. and in
true Americanism.

Government authorities and eco
nomists have striven for years to
induce the American farmer 70 diver
sify his crops. To certain extent
the efforts have been successful IN
the South. TO a lesser degree in the
West. and to a greater extent IN the
North. In Jefferson county this
movement has gained a good frui-
ton. for its farmers raise large d.
yersity of products. providing all the
essential foods for it's people. and
offering an economic benefit Of ire
mendous value to its agricultural IN
terests.
In the eotton-growing sections of
the South. where cotton is the great
staple, everything depends upon the
success Of the cotton crop. Should
It fail the entire economic life would
be upset. In Jefferson county the
farmers have reached that enviable
condition. where the failure of the
wheat crop finds some other crop to
compensate: the failure of the apple
crop for one year. does not leave the
farmer PROSTATE.
Jefferson county is the finest
wheat-growing county in the State,
and one of the greatest corn-growing
sections in this part Of the country.

Apple-growing of course. is one of

rapidly growing In proportions. But
it is not the sole support of even the
apple growers who. the main. have
something else to "fall back on"
This condition has been largely re-
sponsible for the stability of the
economic situation in Jefferson coun-
ty. Financial depressions are rare
and not pronounced. and business
moves along in its smooth. even chan

people to settle here. and sending
out a challenge to other parts of the
world in the really substantial foun-
dations upon which its agricultural
life is built.

which affect farming greatly to his
