INCORPORATED 1840 - NEW LONDON COUNTY MUTUAL'. Q 10 Y\ In accord with an Anniversary spirit we have chosen for the subject of our 1915 calendar the work of a L4 v v native of Norwich. o The half-tone but poorly portrays Mr. Goodwin’s strong picture of Western camp life, which is one -of his - latest productions, and done in bold coloring, Beside a work of art the calendar—for local distribution —will serve a high degree of utility, embracing a list of Norwich Fire Alarm Boxes. We shall be glad to present the Calendar to adults, with a brief his- torical leaflet recounting the wonder- ful growth of this Company. Your Agent will supply you or call at Home Office Calendar Subject ISIS WHERE THE TALL PINES GROW By Philip R. Goodwin FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY WHERE THE TALL PINES GROW In the shelter of a little cove, under the wing of a clump of veteran pines, two blanketed figures, as if im- pelled by some hidden force, turn over and uncover two tousled heads to blink at the gray dawn. Soon the silent pair with mutual understanding begin the meagre culinary preparations. Breakfast over the chuck-box is repacked, and pausing merely to light the friendly pipe they promptly turn to “breaking camp.” With scarce a glance at the East which has burst into a flame of pink and gold, these two spirits of the woods push swiftly off from the sandy shore and ply their silent paddies. Another day’s work has begun. This painting is significant of its author—Philip R. Our Agent Is Your Agent 'HOME OFFICE 59-61 BROADWAY, NORWICH, CONN. Goodwin—and his trips into the remote regions of this country. He was born in Norwich in 1881. He has been a pupil of Howard Pyle and it was Pyle’s enthusiasm and skill which have in a great measure aided Goodwin to his present high stand- ing in the world of art. 1915 o Seventy-fifth Anniversary past summer und has also rebuflt this damaged section of frs plant.
