Pain- the deep Eive lessly, without warning, and in a mo- | ment of apparent refreshment, there was a slight movement and he was gone, The cares of his stewardship were lifted and he was at rest in God's peace.” Secretary Hughes told of the entry of Mr. Harding into journalism with the purchase of the Marion Star, com. menting that the journalist constituted valuable training for pub lie office because it demanded careful observation, “Young Harding identified his suc cess with that of his town,” Mr. Hughes sadi. “He embodied the Am erican spirit, carrying into the endeay- ors of the town the persiste and courage of his ploneer for , who had made towns possib!

M. at the office of the company. Ample provision will be made for the accommodation of all and the ladies are particularly urged to attend. At this meeting it will be shown how sensational and un- founded are the attacks made by Mr. Barnes of Hartford. The situation is dangerous only because of lack of knowledge by many of the stockholders, and in the absence of dividends more inclined than usual to give attention to misleading statements and claims. The machinery of a brokerage office is arrangéd and system- ized for effectively getting the attention of the individual. Start- ing at the top, step by step the effort broadens until finally culmin- ating with the individual canvasser. It is usual to sign a proxy in a perfunctory way, and often it makes little difference. This is a time that you should attend the meeting if possible and if not to give careful attention to the issues involved before making final choice between the Hartford and Bristol proxy committee. If you have already signed a proxy on insufficient informa- tion, it is not only proper but custamary to appoint a later proxy representing your latest wishes. If you cannot attend the meeting, we request your signature on the dotted liné of the Bristol proxy sent you by the undersigned. The Bristol Proxy Committee: P. 0. Box 475, Bristol, Conn. R. S.

ROCKWELL TRADE RECORD Trade of The United States With The Tropics Big gains and exports to the tropical in our imports from sub-tropical the American ] areas lying between northern Mexico and southern Brazil, the continent of world. We take its raw ma- Africa except the South African terials and foods and for them in the products of our factories. Trade of the United States with the tropical world has shown a re- markable growth since the begin- ning of the war. Whether or not /it is because of the disarrangement of trade methods resulting from the ‘war, the opening of new steamsnip ‘routes by the nama Canal, the increased activities of the automo- “bile for land transportation in the ‘tropics. or even the increasing use of tropical products which followed i prohibition, it is at least a fact, ‘says the Trade Record of The ; National City Bank of New York, ithat our trade with the tropics has increased approximately 130% in alue since 1913, while that with the non-tropical world increased but about 739 in the same period. . With the dangers to sea-borne com- nerce which existed during the war. . European countries gradually re- inced their tropical imports for re- :xportation purposes, and as a result he United States developed her direct purchases ‘from the tropical countries and at the samestime in- creased her direct sales to them. idering as tropical or at least HARTFORD SUBURBAN TELEPHONE SERVICE * We now have «a direct telephone trunk line from New Britain, from New Britain without y Union, and the countries and islands lying between northern India, the Philippine Islands, and central Australia, the number of political divisions with which we inter- change merchandise — countries, colonies and islands—is 35, and our trade with them has grown from approximately $1,060,000,000 in 1913 to about $2,447,000,000 in 1923, The total value of merchandise brought direct from the tropical world (in- cluding our own tropical islands) advanced from approximately $640,- 000.000 in 1913 to about $1,620,000,- 000 in 1923, while the exports to these areas increased from about $400,000,000 in 1913 to approxi- mately $830,000.000 in 1923. While a part of this apparent in- crease, says the Trade Record, is probably due to the fact that cer- tain tropical products prior to the war reached us from the European countries and were accredited to them in our trade statistics, it is quite apparent that our trade with the tropics has enormously increas- ed. Practically all the tropical coun- tries have increased the percentage which American products form of their imports. Our own official statistics show that our imports from Cuba advanced from $125,000,- 00 in 1913 to $376.000.000 in 1923, and the exports thereto from $73 toll charge. 000,000 in 1913 to $192,000,000 in 1 Our imports from India ad- vanced from §5,000,000 in 1913 tq $55,000,000 in 1923; and from Egypt an increase from $17,000,000 to $39.000,000. Our imports from South America increased from $198,259,000 in 1913 to $466,817,08( in 1923, and our exports to that c;;zt&:fint from $146,515,000 to $269,- The big increases in our imports from the tropics occur in rubber, fibe.n, sugar, coffee, cacao, and fruits, and the gains in exports to that area consist chiely of manu- factures. This increase in our trade o the tropical world and especial- ly in the market which it offers for our manufactures is especially of interest, adds the Trade Record, in view of the great possibilities of in- creasing the producing and conse- quent buying power of that part of the world. The tropical and sub-tropical belt, extending the world around between the 30th parallels of north and south latitude, has over one third of the habitable land area of the world, much of it with far greater producing power per acre than that of the temper ate zones, and with the increasing exportation of its natural products which would follow improved trans- portation facilities by railways and automobiles would come an increas- ed demand for the products of the American factories, HARTFORD Patrons may call us Direct line New Britain to Hartford, 2965 SPECIAL VALUES IN FURNITURE FOR The Last Day of the FEBRUARY FURNITURE ; SALE Aisle after Aisle filled to overflowing, with fine furni- ture at very low prices is the impressgion people get from a i®t to our three great furni- ture floors, Come and see for yourself that Hartford boasts no finer store, no more unusual stock of good furniture than ours, Only a few days still re- main during which there will be greater economy oppor- tunities than ever, and in which you may secure furni- ture that you would gladly pay more for in gingle pieces or in complete sets at the February Sale Prices.
