Clay County banker teases NYSE pitch to boost town
W Murray Smith of Clay County Bank in Clay WV sent a satirical telegram to NYSE President Funston after New York mayor Lindsay proposed a stock transfer tax rise. The stunt drew inquiries from across the country and spotlighted a town of 496 facing coal-industry decline. Smith calls the effort a publicity gimmick but aims to attract real industry and jobs, hoping for a new mine or plant to revive the area while preserving its identity as the poverty capital of West Virginia.
