Just as a man is known by the company he keeps, so0 is a huilding known by its store and office occupants. Where can you find a more select location? What mercantile and professional business can fail to increase its patronage in this choicest of New Britain buildings! The Raphael Building is a natural drawing power; it is the sign of business penonahtv it is the mark of commercial prestige; it is the spirit which brings confidence to those who occupy and those who enter its bright, airy spaces. Close by the leading hotel, and a projected bank; across the way from a theater, in a less re- tricted parking area, not many steps away from the post office—could one wish for a better loca- tion? The progressive merchant, and the alert, out- of-the-rut professional man will find the answer for himself—the Raphael Building awaits your inspec- tion! SOME OF THE OCCUPANTS CEDAR HILL FORMULAE MR.
