L Hundreds of local people will atten the big Centennial celebration to be _ held in Southington Friday, Saturday * and Sunday, August 29, 30 and when the combined Welcome I%me celebration, anniversary ng of the town and of the Peck, be observed of the found- the anniversary Stowe & Wilcox plant will The celebration prom- ises to be a gala one and extensive ar- rangements are in the works for one of the biggest affairs in the history of the tawn. The celebration is of interest to many New Britainites, inasmuch as the Peck, Stowe & Wilcox company during the war conducted a branch of their main factory in this city, taking care of some of the war orders wfich they were unable to handle in the Sauthington factory, and supplied em- ployment for about 100 hands here. The Peck, Stowe & Wilcox Co., pio- neer manufacturers of tinners’ ma- chinery, mechanics’ hand tools ing hardware and blacksmith: is the animating spirit in the celebra- tlon. 100 years hefore Seth Peck pat- ented a machine for making tinware Terrible Itching Of Pimples On Neck | : Cuticura Healed | “‘My trouble began with a terribie itcning on my neck which broke out inuglyred pimples. Then they formed a hard crust and there was no rest night or day as they itched and burned dread- fally, and as I could not help digging them they gquickly spread un- til my whole neck and chin were covered. My neck looked like a piece of beef ; the disfigurement was horrible. “Finally my other heard about Cuticura Soap and Ointment and she gave me some and I did not use one box of the Cuticura Ointment with the Cuticura Soap when I was healed.” (Signed) Mrs. Harry J.

Gradually it expanded into what is now the Peck, Stowe & Wilcox Co., and the reputation of the “Pexto” products is world-wide. It is the centenary of Seth Peck's venture that primarily is being cele- Lrated. Incidentally it is an ackngwl- edgment of Southington's debt of long standing to the firm that is being ex- pressed. And it is to be a grateful expression of the town's pride in her soldier boys that Sauthington joins the company in voicing. The Peck, Stowe & Wilcox Co. has made the event more than ordinarily memorable by | presenting the town with a massive | memorial to her saldier sons of ever: war without exception from the Revo- lution down to the recent locking of horns with Germany. Memorial Without Duplication, This memorial is unique in being perhaps without duplication in all America in that feature of carrying | the name of every man any given community has sent to the front in the name of Liberty. A magnificent column of granite, 5 feet square by 10 high, and surmounted by a flag pole feet in height, the memorial car- 971 names upon the bronze tab- that ornament its four sides. Not war in which the United States h rticipated is missing from these ers. The memorial stands on the lage green, and the formal presen- tation to the city will be made by Gov. M. H. Holcomb of Connecticut, on behalf of the company, of which he is a director. Pexto will further of its appreciation of Southington’s | lovalty by presenting to each of its employes that had been upon the firm payroll more than four years with service medals appropriately engraved with the individual names and records of service. Five of these employves have becn for more than 50 years in the company’s employ; 18 have seen more than 40 years' continuous ser ice. To all of these gold medals will be given. Sterling silver medals will be awarded to 53 others who have service while bronze medals will go to all the rest. 137 give expression These scrvice badges will be presented personally by President Lyman H.
