Society to Hold Public Installation of Officers ~ Tonight. in W, e Stockholders of the reported de- funct Monarch Stitched Tire company today received notices from the comi- pany clerk, Horace Mltchell of IKil- tery, Maine, informing them of the special meeting of the stockholders to be held at the offices on January 2 in lieu of the annual meeting. The purpose of the meeting, as set forth Ly the circular letter, is to elect a board of directors and other officers for the coming year and to see what action the stockholders will take in regard to disposing of any or all of assets of the corporatien. Other may also come up this of Di ic} tai business Hne. People in this stock are somewhat puzzled over the meaning of this letter and in- timate that it may be the death knell of this tire company which, accord- ing to the promotors who boomed the concern here a year or so ago, Was hound to become one of the biggest tir industries in the country. This belief is strengthened by the word- ing of the call which would indicate such action by the reference to dis- posing of the assets of the concern. The Monarch Stitched Tire com- pany has been much before the publi se of late. When promotors first | came to New Britain over a year ago the old Munro-Bastwood Pen fac- in Sevmour park was leased. 1s done however, and when stockholders questioned the good faith of the concern one of its offi- cials, in a tirade of anger, forfeited of it at vicinity holding For Itching Eczema, Old Sofi and Pi‘es| “] guarantee my ointment,” s Peterson, “to cure eczema; to stop the fhching at once and any reliable drug- gist will .cheerfuily refund your money of PETERSON'S OINTMENT doesn’t-do everything I say it will do.
