Chief Engineer Teed, Assistant En- zineer Maln and the officers of the borough fire department as well as several guests outside the borough, were royally entertained by Stonington MARCH 13, 1916 HE PRESTIGE OF A Motor Car no longer de- pends upon a mere name, surrounded by a fictitious at- mosphere of aristocracy. The only aristocracy in motor cars, now, is an aristocracy of merit. It is true that the ownership of a Cadillac carries a distinct social value in every com- munity. But it is the character of the car which sheds lustre on the Cadillac name—not the name which confers lustre on the car. Intent upon the more serious rurpooeofnulnna' the Cadil- ac as good as a motor car can be made, this Company has paid scant attention to any other aspect of the case. Social distinction came to the Cadillac as an after-result. It was conferred by the owners themselves — as an apprecia- tion of its more sterling qual- ities. - Each year the number of those amply able to pay more, but who prefer the Cadillac because of what the Cadillac is, has rapidly increased. Each year the lure of a mere name has grown less. It is the age-old process at work. Neither a man, nor a motor car, can live on a name alone. The world demands deeds from the one, and perform- ance from the other. In the working-out of that process, the world has be- stowed greater and greater distinction upon the Cadillac, THE A. C.

JEWETT CITY William Potts, 30 and Deaf, Crosses Track and is Unavoidably Struck by Trolley Car—Sleighing Party Sur- prises Mrs. Lester—Funeral of Fred LaRock. ‘Willlam Potts was struck by the 1.19 trolley Saturday afternoon and seri- ously injured.

Norwich-bound _ Passengers Demand Trailers. are in a state of revolt because no traflers are provided Saturday after- noons on the cars which need them most. For seven Saturdays there has been only one car at 2.08 south. This car is used more than any other af- ternoon car, southbound, unless it might be the 1.09. The seats and most of the standing room are taken before the car reaches Jewett City and the result is that the iocal people have to be sandwiched in the aisle and pay 16 cents for the priv- flege. - With the new zone system, the con- ductor’s business is nerve-racking, under the easiest conditions. And the crowded car only adds to his arduous duties, which the much-needed trailer would obviate. The passengers’ re- marks do not help his disposition any when he is not in the least to blame for their uncomfortable situation—at sixteen cents per. The car seats at 209 Saturday were occupied princi- pally by men, and the aisle ladies— leap-year style, presumably! Surprised by Sleighing Party.
