That's very true !
Likewise the paper products stuff. The greeting card company here in Denver (Solitair Cards) started in a building like that (16th & Wazee). The sun coming in the window faded and ruined the paper products too fast. They tried that sun silvery block stuff for a while but it didn't work, so they moved next door with very few windows. The building with with windows is now a restaurant. They probably made a killing on it though since everything on 16th street is now trendy.

A weather proof or at least rain proof dock for unloading supplies or loading the finished product. This eliminates a lot of typical WV industires such as mining suppies, plumbing fixtures, logging or logging equipment. The location being in West Virginia restricts what it can be. The major industries in WV are coal mining and logging, with very little farming which killed my first idea of a textile or clothing plant. Or does it? I was originally thinking cotton, but I discovered that they have developed a large industry around mining by-products and chemical substances like paint and synthetic fibers. This is especially true around Charleston along the Kanawah River. The logging aspect might also be out of possibility but what about related industries that use processed lumber such as furniture. This is especially true since much of the lumber is going to be hardwood like Hickory, Oak, and Walnut. West Virginia itself is the Mountain State being the only state in the Union that is 100% in the mountains. The state bird, animal, insect, etc aren't much help, except for the color "old gold and blue". That has some class to it. The era of 1960. There was the set of people that liked old and stable things, and the other set of people that were pushing for everything to be "Modern" and contemporary. Actually kind of a hokey time. I mean look at some of the commercials that come from that era.. So with those things in mind here are my ideas (since no one else seemed to limit themselves to just one entry):1. Old Gold Fine Furniture Furniture Your Grand Children Will Cherish.2. Hardwood Heirlooms Solid as the West Virgina Mountains Heirloom Quality Furniture since 19103. Kanawha River Sofa's From our Riverside to Your Fireside Hardwood frames & stain proof upholstery for a Carefree Modern Lifestyle4. Free Lifestyle Clothing "Look Ma, No Ironing" Made from Modern Permanent Press Synthetic Fabrics5. Radford Synthetic Rug & Carpet Wall-to-Wall Carefree Luxury or Wall-to-Wall Modern Floor Coverings Luxurious, Stain Resistant, Carefree.6. Charleston Synthetic Fabrics Where cotton is rotten and the sheep is obsolete. Nylon, Rayon, & Dacron fabrics & blends for everyday life.7. West Virgina Mountain Toys8. Radford's Roads & Rails Model Company Inc.Not my best but your dealine is here..... You didn't specify which time zone. According to my clock I made it with seven minutes to spare.

You are correct about being restricted in what it can be and still be properly placed in its location... In all that logging though- there has to be a papermill somewhere, and your building can be a stationer's supply, a publishing house, a newspaper. A factory that produces all those novelties that you find around tourist traps....
Piedmont Paper Products- Purveyors of fine stationary
Appalachian Press- Printer of ladies magazines such as Double Wide, and Shack and Hovel Living.
The Huntington Sentinel- A Tri County consolidated newspaper, serving Huntington, Beckley, and Wheeling/Martin's Ferry for 86 years.
U. Huggem & I. Kissem- Producer of fine handcrafted dohickey's and dustcatcher's, helping America Commemerate such events as a summer visit to the John Crapper Privy mueseum since 1939.
E. X. Ploe & Sons Fireworks - For when you need to go out with a Bang
T.A. Krappers Hi end Luxery Toilets
DMC Main Office?????
It appears that we have moved beyond possable building names, into pun land.
None the less, I am saving many of the names for future layouts.
How 'bout these?
Gudder's Bowling Balls
Alvin's Air & Sailboat Fuel
Stuky's Tape & Toiletpaper - anything on a roll
Homer's Dough Factory
Terry's Tiddlywinks
Frenchie's English Dictionary Co.
Bee Ginning's Bookends
Sue & Larry
Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
How about - "(Whoever's) Space Compression Factory"
