The credit is due, undoubtedly, to the increased number of new. books bought, and largely, I think to adver- tising. It is a problem how best to advertise. but it certainly is a fact that publicity is the only way to reach all the people; attention has been call- ed to the new books through the daily papers and cordial invitations has been extended to everybody to make use of e ubr'.a.l'}nL The lists vehich have cen sent Out, aiming to bring people into touch with the up-to-dace hooks which have been added to the Librery in their various interests, have aroused much appreciation and brought many readers.

Captain Luce was one of the original members of the firm of Luce Bros. who for many years were engaged in the menhaden business at Rocky Neck and also had a factory at Lewes, Del., running sev- eral vessels in the business. About 20 years ago they sold out their in- terests to the fishing trust and since then Capt. Luce has spent most of his time at his farm in Little Boston, though he has run one or two quarries in Niantlo, getting out granite for breakwater work for the government.

Born in this town, the son of Jede- diah Baldwin and Deborah Preston, he spent most of his life here. For over 30 years he was a faithful employe of the Hopkins & Allen Manufacturing company, and later was employed by the W. H. Davenport company.
