Directors Hold Meeting, The directors of the Chamber of Commerce met Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock for their regular monthly meeting. George Kimball, of the American Hardware comporation, a full report as representative New Britain Chamber of Com- merce at the manufacturers’ confer- ence recently held at Atlantic City. The resolutions passed there were of | rticular interest to the directors be- e of their probable effect upon | siness conditions throughout the country. Mr., Kimball, as chair- man of the committee appointed by | President Pelton on the employment of returning soldiers and sailors, re- ported that after a canvass by that committee it was the universal de cision of all manufacturers in Ne Britain that they should provide posi- tions for all of New Britain's enlisted men. Ready positions will be open just as fast as they return home again. It was suggested by the directors that the chamber see that the mercantile directors docide to canvass the mer- chants and see if the whole-hearted co-operation could be secured in this matter and that every returning sol- dier might be sure of his old position. Objects to Factory Stores. A communication addressed to the directors signed by William Cowl shaw, president of the Retail Grocer: has been received by the y. This letter outlined the po- sition the grocers of the city found themselves In regarding the establish- ment of the factory stores. A good | deal of serious consideration was given | this letter by the directors, They recognized many facts as being true and that the grocers were placed in 2 position to feel this movement keenly. Just whether the chamber as a whole could do anything at this time to prevent or postpone the es- tablishment of such stores was a mat- ter which could not{ be decided at the meeting. A committee of three was | appointed to take immediate steps to ; investigate both sides of the question | and to have power to meet with a | committee of the grocers at a later date. It was made elear that ih prac- ‘ 1 { New Britain tically every instance the origin of the co-operative stores did not come from the executives in the factories, that in most case: uch a moyve wus frowned upon by the manufacturers, but that it was a movement started wholly within the raunks of the cmployes. The committece appointed will make an | investigation at once and attempt to | put the matter fairly and squarely to the grocers’ committee as they find it. The chamber realizes the fact that the interest of the merchants | interest and will do everything sible to protect these interests, information regarding the fact the chamber considered this a matter over which it had no control was given either by President B. W. Pelton or Becretary L. A. Sprague. A com- mittee has been appointed and will make a thorough investigation and will report to the directors and to a committee of the grocers within a few days. The grocers represented by Mr. Cowlishaw are very willing to wait for the report of this committee in order that the true facts regarding the co- operative store movement can be de- termined. Housing Question Taken Up. The question of proper housing for people in certain sections of the city was discussed at length and the direc- tors felt that this matter might well be given more study before anything definite should be attempted. Several problems entered into (his question which must be taken separately, The first, which seemed most important, was the matter of collecting ruhbish. ashes and garbage in erder that prop- er sanitary conditions might be pro- vided. The directors felt that a move could be made in the collection of ashes and garbage throughout the city. is one of the few cities in the state in which ashes are not collected regularly throughout the vear. The insanitary conditions are due in part to the accumulation of filth and rubbish during the winter months and any result that would clear this away rezularly would tend to immprove conditions generally. A committee was appointed by Pres- ident Pelton to secure reports of ghboring cities and to make an in- vestigation as to cost to the city. A vote was passed that the directors recommend to the board of health that proper steps be taken to see what can be done in the way of the city collecting ashes, and that a sum suf- ficient to take care of this matter be put into the ci rly hudget. The question will be reported upon at the January meeting of the chamber, Myron H. West, of the American Park Builders company of Chicago, was present and gave a brief outiine of the advantages to New Britain if a general city plan and survey were made. The fact was brought out that New Britain is a growing, progressive city, and a plan, mado now, antici- pating steady growth and correcting any unforeseen mistakes would ensure a city that every citizen would be proud of. Many Western cities have followed such a plan and several New N 19, 1918 The Reasons Why HORSFALL-MADE Ready for Service, Clothes for Mzn Are the Best Values That Can Be Secured. \ N / E anticipated high prices for woolens and bought large quantities early—as a result the woolens we are using are far better qualities than we can secure now. We make them ourselves, saving you the costs of national advertising and traveling salesmen’s salaries. We design and cut them in our Custom Tailoring Department—you actually receive custom garments at ready-to-wear prices. Horsfall made coats are tailored by hand on these premises. They are strictly Horsfall made—from the time the woolens enter into our store until the time finished gar- ment is carried from our workroom on a hanger to our clothing de- partment ready to deliver to your home, these clothes have our per- sonal supervision at all stages. We never pretended to manufacture clothing as a money-making proposition — it was our desire for bet- ter ar d more distinctive clothes at lower prices which prompted us to take the step and a single inspection of our present stocks will justify every claim we make for your patronage. * * * Horsfall-made Suits—$40 to $60.

IHe states that his friends will next hear from him by phone from New York City. The for- mer local man has seen considerable action with the 104th Regiment and is one of the comparatively few sur- vivors of the regiment. Malloy was wounded in action, July 12, and has since been in a hospital. His letter was written November 14, and at that time he was being treated in Base Hospital No. 9.
