Miss Curtin submitted an exhaus- tive report of the work aone during the year by the Chamber and its auxiliary burcaus, the traffic bureau | and the mercantile bureau, which were in part as follows: “The past year, from all indica- tions has proven a thoroughly suc- cessful one from every standpoint, ' Well defined movements, planned to procure for New Britain much needed improvements, have been in- stituted by the Chamber. Some of them have already been carried to a siccessful completion while with others, the preliminary steps have been taken and time will tell whether we' will be successful in our endeavors, < Trade at Home “Reviewing the year's activities and accomplishments, the most out- glanding feature of the Chamber's work, have been the regults achicved by ‘T Trade in New Dritain cam- paign.’ Conducted on the honest belief and proven fact that New Britain merchants carry sufficiently diversified lines of high quality merchandise at prices that chalienge #ales figures of stores in other cities, the campaign has met with un- bounded success, according to state- ments given us by merchant mem- bers, Personal sales letters, mailed quarterly and at holiday seasons to 8,600 women in New Britain and vicinity, have carried an appeal to shoppers that has been met with a remarkable response and while there is no question but that many people still go out of the city to trade, a very large part of them who for- merly did most of . their shopping elsewhere, now are content to stay at home because ‘they have found that New Britain stores -offer mer- chandise which is satisfactory in every way. Mis campaign, we believe, has also proven a stimulant to local merchants to more painstakingly “DIAMOND DYE” IT ' A BEAUTIFUL COLOR Perfect home dye- ing and tinting is guaranteed with Diamond Dyes, Just dip in coid | water to tint soft, | delicate shades, or| boil to dye rich, ! permanent colors. } Each 16-cent pack- age contains direc- ~ tions so simple any woman can dye or tint lingerie, , ribbons, skirts, walsts, dresses, coats, stofkings, sveaters, draperies, coverings, hang- Inzs, everything new.

While perhaps popular opinion may vary on the necessity for this civic improvement, it is evident that this is becoming tremendously popular in all communities, There is no question but that the time s not far distant when the demand for a links here will be strong and early action on this project seems advisable. “The establishment of an avia- tion field within a close radius of the city limits, to assure for New Britain a landing field for future use, would appear to be & forward step in the city’s interest and s the city government is now study- ing the proposition, it behooves the Chamber of Commerce, as the or- ganized representatives of the city's from 7 st 5 Open Saturday 2 COnyERCIAL TRUSTCO, [N BRTAI (g5 Wi, There is no gain so cer- tainasthatwhicharises from self denial Start a Saving Account TODAY!

Mills "“The Mercantile Bureau of the Chamber has just passed through what may justifiably be termed one of the most successful years in the history of our organization, Con- centrating upon a defipite program of activity, the bureau has, through the medium of committee work, rendered invaluable service both to the community and to mercantile establishments in the eity, “I'rom the standpoint of success- | ful administration, there fs perhaps | no clement that is so important as | committee activity and the whole- | hearted service given by the men who have bcen associated in the | work of the burcau, reflects com- | mendation upon the entire organ- | {zation. “Enumerating some of the tasks undertaken by the bureau odel home committee was designafed to | prepare plans for the ercction of three model homes of various types suitable insignia design for the !
