OPENING
SALE
SUCCESSFUL
Between Fifty and Sixty Lota Sold by
Clarksburg Industrial Company and
Houses Will Be Built.
The lot sale by the Clarksburg Indus
trial company Tuesday afternoon was
successful in every way and perfectly
satisfactory to the company. It was
merely the opening sale, and tlic fact
between 00 and 00 lots were sold at the
prices placcd on the property by the
company is all that the directors desired,
but the main object of the sale was ac
1 complished. That object was arrange
1 ments for the erection of several houses
on the property. There is assurance
i that this has been accomplished from
the fact that a dozen purchasers, mostly
out-of-town people, consulted local con
tractors with that end in view. It Is
expected that that number of houses
will be built at once.. There was some
disappointment that there was no auc
tion sale, but the company had no. de
sire to get up any excitement, and, there
fore, conducted the sale on a strictly bus
iness basis. The sale occurred in an of
fice of the window glass plant on the
grounds. A11 the strangers in the city
and all who had not seen the property
expressed themselves as greatly delight
ed with it, and these impressions will re
sult in the disposal of many more lota
*t an early date. She lota unsold will
remain on the market for thirty days
at the prices already fived by the com
pany, alter which it will be optional with
the board of directors to withdraw them
from the market or raise the prices.
