Letter to the People that desire the purest food, best in quality, best variety, best service—rich and poor that pay their bills. We find it a great pleasure to.carry on our weekly system of accounts. We follow the markets of Boston, New York and anywhere that can offer us anything new and good. We place at your call the finest line of fresh catables that can be found in any one market in New England. We hear the remark often from the traveling public “Somers, the variety you have here is better and greater than | see anywhers. Do you have trade for it.” We say: “Norwich has a better class of people, rich and poor, than any city of its size in the United States.” That holds them for a while, and it is so. Now, we desire the co-operation, the assistance of the trade in this way: We have the goods; we want your trade. We desire that should you at any time order, and by some error or carelessness of a clerk find that every- thing is not just right, to notify us, for we'll right the wrong and, assure you there will be no stone left unturn- ed to make our service to you satis- factory. Our supply of Fresh Killed Native Poultry is worthy of your attention. For specialties and fancy cut cuts of meats we excell. this city that ro: its own Coffee. Yhelf goods we carry a full line of the rery best. Three points of our busin First—Quality. Second—Quantity and variety. Third—Satisfaction. We trust that with these points in siew our business for 1909 will exceed Iny previous ys We thank you and sourt your patronage. Very truly yours, Somers Bros. ¥. J. SOMERS.: WILLIAM SOMERS.

Leaves Friday Member of Orchezra at Morton Plant’s Hotel Belleview at Bellaire. On Friday there will be a number of prominent musiclans of this county | leave for the south, when G. Herbert Rich of this city. and Glenville W. Phil- | lips, John R. Smith and Horace Beebe of New London will leave New Lon- don for New York, from, where they will sail on the Clyde line steamer Mo- hawk for Bellalre, Florida. In the party there will also be Clar- ence Booth of Boston. Messrs. Phil- lips, Beebe, Smith, Rich and Booth will comprise the orchestra at the Belleview, Morton F. Plant's magnifi- cent winter hotel at Bellaire. Ever since The Griswold, Mr. Plant’s fine hotel at Bastern Point, was opened, the Standard orchestra under Mr. Phillius’ leadership has furnished the music at the hotel and several sea- sons at the old Fort Griswold house the orchestra &t the hotel was under Mr. Phillips’ dfrection. The music has always been excel- lent, and Mr. Phillips ‘and the other members of the orchestra have always been accommodating, hence Mr. Plant's decision to have the same or- chestra at the Belleview, where the music and the unusial arrangements have not always been wholly satisfac- tory. W. J. Fleming, who is manager of The Griswold, is alse manager of the Belleyiew, which is one of the most finely appointed of the winter hotels of the south. The orchestra wiil be compoged of Glenville W. Phillips, planist; John R.. Smith, clarinetist; Horace W. Beebe, cornetist; G. Her- bert Rich, violinist, and Clarence Booth, 'cellist. The 'guests at the Belleview are certaln of up to date, tuneful music for the season of 1909. Mr. Rich will be missed from the Broadway theater orchestra, where his playing is always one of the big and satisfying attractions. NORWICH OFFICER BEFORE THE RETIRING BOARD.

SMITH Franklin Square, Nerwich, Ct. anse _— Capital Stock has been Doubled M‘Mioinifig Property in this City Has been Leased, with Present Quarters — Refrigerating Machines to be Installed Dc&:g Away with Ice. As the result of a recent meeting of the stockholders of The Allen-Beeman company the capital stock of the com- pany has been doubled and a lease of the present quarters and adjoining building taken for a term of twenty vears. Plans were then decided upon for a complete alteration of the pres- ent cold storage plant of the mpany here, the fitting up of the newly leased building for a similar purpose, and the installation of a refrigerating plant for both buildings, which will do away with the ice, the storage rooms to be kept cool by brine and ammonia, the same process- as used in an artificlal ice plant, excopt that no ice will be made here.” In this instance the brine will be used to cool the rooms instead of freeze water. Work Has Been Stafted. Work has already bgen started on some of the changes which will be made, but the entire work will not be completed until about April, 1910. In the ~present bulilding, a three story brick structure at Nos. 33-35-37 Com- merce street, the large room, 28x67, which has béen used as the ice room, it being kept filled with ice for re- trigerating purposes,is to be used here- after as the room for the storage of eggs, it being possible to get 8,000 cases in there. The ice tanks have been taken out, and the channels about the room for the warm and cold air are being taken out, and where they extend below the- floor will be filled with ground cork. This is the middle floor of the building. On the upper floor are now stored eggs, butter and cheese_wkile on the ground floor will be a capacity for 4,000 tubs of butter, of goods in the changed plant. Large Elevator. A lease of the present quarters and of the building adjoining on the east, No. 41 Commerce street (at one time occupied by C. J. King and the Nor- wich Grain company) has been taken for a period of twenty years. On the maln floor there will be an arch cut through, connecting both buildings, and the office, which is now in the rear of the present quarters, will be moved to the Commerce street front of the new building, the present office being used as a receiving room. There will also be a hole cut through the dividing wall, #0 that the elevator, which will be in- creased in size, will serve for both bulldings. It will be a direct connect- ed electric elevator of 3,000 pounds ca- pacity. The roof of the new building will be raised to the height of the present building making three storles avail- able, and all of the building except the office will be arranged for cold storage. The floors will be made to conform to the present quarters. Two lce Machines. To accommodate the. refrigerating machines, a brick addition a story and a half high and 19x27 will be built at the rear of the present building, while there will also be erected a garage 18x 19 for the keeping of twe automobiles. This will be one story, of brick. The contract has been let for the ice machines and one 25-ton ice ma- chine will be installed by the Larsen Baker Co, .of Omaha, = comms g March 1 and be ready for. y April 10, It will be run by 40 horsepower electric motor which the belting will be furnished by the Allen-Beeman company. During the coming season another machine of the same size will be iInstalled to take care of the additional building- which will be ready by that time the ma- chines furnishing 1,000 feet of frigeration. With the lce machine there will be 10,000 feet of piping for brine and ammonia. In the butter room in addition to the brine pipes there will be direct expansion pipes in the cefling. A temperature of ten de- grees above zero is maintaimed in the butter room, while it is 30 degrees in the egg room. Will Expend $25,000. The company has been cramped for storage room recently, which the ad- dition wil] overcome and thereby maike a great saving, as they have been obliged to store outside. Most of the storing hereafter will be done here. There will be a saving on ice and salt to the amount of $1,000 to $1,200 each year and the ice crop will not bother hereafter . Besides the three large rooms in the present building there are several smaller rooms for refrigerating pur- poses, while the three floors of the new building will be fitted up for the same use. The insulation will be of en spend- in, Robert w York.

AT THE AUDITORIUM. Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. Ca,y_tarfly» houses were the rule Sheedy’s ‘theater at all performances Monday afternoon and evening, with everyone going away satisfied with the bill of vaudeville and moving pic- tures put on for the week. The com- bination for the week givgs the kind of variety that pleases each one pres- ent. There’s plenty to laugh at both in the lines and in the clever acting in the comedy sketch put on by Whit- man, Murphy and company. In the roles of two backcountry politicians both running for the same office, bothl Mr. Murphy and Mr. Whitman are true to life and Miss Harshall in the tjtle part, The Prodigal Girl, is well suft2d to the character. Curtain calls were the reward for their capable work. Kaiser's comedy dogs are back for a return engagement and received a warm welcome. These ten little ani- mals fill their part of the bill with fun and their' master does some taking work on the horizontal bars, May Melville, singing comedien.s, scored a hit with her graceful and singing in several numbers was called out to bow to her admire in lieu of repeating her dance.
