! | | ble progress toward this end during the latter part the summer and early fall exhibition now being held at Ryon's hall has done a great deal to attract attention to the socl ty and now ls the time, it is consi ered, to start the campaign for rais- ing funds. It is expected that the receipts from admittance to the exhi- bition, after defraying all expenses, will ake a substantial start toward the necessary fund, and other ways and means of raising money will be| considered at the next meeting of the society. The success of the exhibi- tion has thus far exceeded the most sanguine expectations. Not'only has the exhibition been self-suporting, notwithstandin considerable expense attached, but it has been the means ~ of ailding several valuable and price- less relics as the permanent property of the soclety. A town-wide interest in the aims and purposes of the soci ty has been created, and from intinma- tions made from various parts of the town it is to be expected that there will be donations of several more val- uable relics and souvenirs for the col- lection. The postponed meeting of the society will be held Tuesday evening at 8.30 dclock In the library. A full attendance is desired, as there is con- Siderable important business to be dis- cussed.

New York, Aug. 19—The sailing of the Southern Pacific liner Creole to- to Europe to bring home the 1879 S Qur 35th Anniversary It has not been our custom to celebrate these events, but the completion of thirty-five years of com- mercial life under one management, more than a third of a century, deserves more than passing notice. Upon the twenty-first day of August, 1879, Messrs. Reid and Hughes opened these doors under the name of “The Boston Store”, occupying about one-third of the space which is now neceszary for the conduct of the steadily growing business. The history of The Boston Store did not have its beginning here, but under many names which have been prominent in the life of this city, it had been in exist- ence since about the yesr 1350. Some among you may remember the firm cf Ely & Company, followed by Grosvenor & Company, Williams & Chester, Williams & Company, Leavitt & Ellis, S. L. Leavitt, Simpson, Campbell & Watson, and James Simpson & Company. 12 vras from this last named firm that Messrs. Reid & Hughes purchased the busness, Mr. Simpson and his brother going to New York where they founded the firm of Simpson, Crawford & Simpson, which under their management became one of the flourishing de- partment stores of this country. % Since that day in August thirty-five years ago The ' Boston Store has forged to the front and now holds the position of the leading department store in all Eastern Connecticut, in size, quality and diversity of stocks carried and in the service rendered. The Boston Store has steadfastly avoided sensational methods of merchan- | dising and advertising, and from the foundation, up through esch succeeding story of its commercial struct- | ure, the only meterial used has been the strictest integ- |rity——-the most conacientious service. Through the medium cf this Anniversary Sale you \are invited to celebrate with us the completion of these - thirty-five busy years. ADVERTISING THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Thirty-five years ago, after the store of James Simp- son & Co. had been closed one whole day for inven- tory, the following modest advertisement appeared in an issue of The Norwich Bulletin. This advertisement was but a single newspaper column in width and about twelve inches long. THE BOSTON STORE IS OPENED AGAIN TODAY BY REID & HUGHES This initial advertisement marked the birth of a mercantile institution whch has always been in the forefront of progress—an organization which has not alone grown with the needs of the community but has anticipated those needs and prepared for them before the community realized them. It has been, is now and always will be a progressive store for progressive people.
