Perfect Vitaphone House! NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 192. 2 The editor is in receipt of a very fine letter from Ella Wenzloff of 892 Commonwealth avenue about A. F. Eichstaedt. There's nothing more to be said so here it is— The silhouette in Tuesday night's paper is that of A, F, Eichstaedt of 262 Corbin avenue. He is one of the owners of the New _Britain Dry Cleaning Corp., and was one of the first men to engage in the diy cleaning business in this city, The old plant of the New Britain Dry Cleaning Corp., was at 265 Cherry street but the high grade cleaning, dyeing and pressing done at their plant has brought them so many customers that the corpora- tion found it necessary to build and move the plant to larger quarters which are now located at 415 West Main street. They also have a store at that address to take care of business m the neighborhood and a down town store at 96 West Main street, cor- venient for folks from all parts of the city. They always give city and out of town phone calls prompt attention. It you want your old hat, coat, dress or suits, also draperies, rugs and curtains to look like new bring {them to or call the New Britain Dry Cleaning Corp., for prompt and the best of service, Tonight appears the likeness of a gentleman who has come to us from foreign fields, not from Europe, rom Waterbury to manage a very important Main street store. He 1s a bachelor, and spends his spare time fishing. We wouldn't be sur- prised if he were up Hartford way today with the rest of the New Brit- ain bunch of fisherfolk. They say that the business he s in has charms, or “hath” to be exact. The things he sclls dispenses cheer to all. (The editor doesn't mean what you think he does). That's a heck of a note to deceive you like that, al- though it has something to do with bars, and everybody admits it is re- freshing.

Superb Cast—Symphonic Orchestra & Neut No More Buttons Last night's riot at the Herald office over the Kids' Safety club buttons officially kisses the club goodby for this y Over three thousand buttons were given out to the' youngsters, and a pledge was required to be signed and witnessed by the parent or guard- ian. The whole force of the idea was missed when it became the fad for collecting of one of each kind representing all the charac- ters of the cartoon running in the Herald. It was a problem which ‘would take the patience of Job to cope with, and the children were the winners. The editor fully realizes that there were some children who deserved the button but how to get around that fea- ture, cverybody seems to be at a loss. We can all give a shout of joy that the giving out of buttons is at an end, for this year at least City Items Blue —advt. The girls of the Beaton and Cad well Mfg.
