Business Was Established Way Back in March, 1€73, Connecticut is not only known the world over as the home of statesmen and liberty-loving citizens; but it en- joys the further distinction of hav ng provided the training school in_ mer- chandising that has sent its sraduates into fame and success into many of the largest states of the country. »Ona of the agencies which has contributed to the commanding position of Connecti- cut in the school of commerce was the establishment, by James Hislop, Joh) Porteous and Archibald Mitchell, of (he business now conducted by The Por- teous & Mitchell Company of this = and which is this week commemorating the forty-fourth anniversary of its cs- tablishment. During the almost half a century that has marked the span o7 business activity of Messrs. Porteous & Mitchell, there has gone forth into (i Imarts of trade any qiumber of enter- |prising voung men who received their business training under the tutelage of the founders of the business, and wii. have achieved success either as mor- chants conducting their own establush- ments or in managerial positions o. responsibility. 1t was in March, 1873 that the s~ ness of> The Portéous & Mitchell Co. was founded and the history of its srowth and progress is one of the ro- mances of American commercial sic- cess. The first years business. while satisfactory, was necessarily somews: in the nature of pioneer work, but Le cause of the progressive metaods adupted, the store prospered from the start. They introduced the “one price to all system” a policy which was prac- tically unknown in merchandising in Norwieh, up to the time of the com- ing of the young merchants. They further saw to it that every customer got @ “square deal” and they had the strengih of character io be honest in was not common, acd the genius and ability to prove that deception was not neces: to successful selling. It was inot long before the original store was too small for the rapidly growing bus- iness. One addition followed another, cuiminating in 1906, when the present |store was developed, giving them the |largest department store in eastern | Connecticut. Advantageous Buying Connection Messers Porteous & Mitchell are now {interested in three stores, the other two being® located, respectively, in Grand Rapids, Mich. and Portiznd, Me. It is not only by these several branch stores that the company has in- eased its buying capacity; they ae one of the founders of and hold a mem- bership in the Dry Goods Union of New York city, with a central office at 432 Fourth Avenue. This is one of the largest organizations of its kind in | a, with a purchasing power of n twelve millions of dollars Complete Stocks of Merchandise. But while The Porteous & Mitchell Company is recognized as the largest business institution of its Kind in east- ern Connecticut, it is not its great size alone that interests the buying puolic. Rather, it is the variety and character of the stocks of merchandise which it carries that has the greatest appealing force. While The Porteous & Mitchell company’s store has not spread out into as many diverse lines as have| some of the metropolitan department stores, vet there has been the broadest possiblc development in merchandis- ing the lines of goods which the store features. There is everything in home furnishings, including rugs, draperies and kitchenware, household linens, dress goods and silks and the many accessories that are in daily need. In Women's and children’s apparel, milli- nery and boys' clothing, The Porteous & Mitchell company has a reputation that is unexcelled. Of Interest to Men. The store caters to men as well as women and has a splendidly equipped men’s department with a separate en- trance. The display of men’s wear is unusually complete. The Porteous & Mitchell company specializes in men's Clothing, both ready-to-wear and cus- tom-made, and in aadition to their hing line, which- includes the pro- Quet of some of the best makers in the country, they are local agents for The Royal Tailors custom-made clothng, Stein-Bloch smart clothes, and The P, & M. special hat. Men who are not regular patrons of this branch of the company’s business will be surprised and delighted by a visit to “The Men's Store” during the anniversary celehra- tion. Congratulations on Anniversary. In addition to the large patronage ‘which The Porteous & Mitchell com- pany enjoys from the many thousands Who visit the store during the course of a year, they also do an extensive business by mail and telephone. Orders by mail are given careful attention by experienced shoppers, thereby insuring satisfactory service.

God sent not His Son into this world to condemn but he sent Him into this world to save. Now you see men who are. your friends go down hill. Thel: downward path - has been shock- ing news to you: it has an effect on N Seves Il ol Tev Sanimae Ut same t when a_person zoul. Just as the body. the soul has marks of decay. The body bears the marks of Jesus Christ and bears the marks of the devil. The bishop told of a business man who let his busi- ness drag him to the grave and con- tinuing Bishop Acheson said, you can’t die in your soul without choos- ing. There is always a choice. He referred to the poem Tennyson wrote, The Revenge, or how Sir Rich- ard Greenfall started out to sea and encountered a fleet of 53 Spanish ships and of how he prepared to fizht the ficet and succeeded in destroying some of the ships but was battered and captured. _ Bishop Acheson cited a2 quotation from the poem to bring out his point. The perishing a want to speak of to- night is something different than the perishing of the hody. ~We take care of the body and give it health, but it is only the venicle for the soul. There is in us that which will live on. Men Aid believe in Jesus Christ and men do now believe in Jesus Christ and they will %o in the darkest parts of Africa to dle for him. They will take their life in their hands ang go any way. For they know if the body dies the soul lives on. It means vour soul comes In contact with the devine force. Judas was with Christ practically all the time: always in close touch with Him, but he let money desires get the best of him until his soul per- Ished and then the body _ perished when he hung himself. You can trace the perishing of the soul in the face of o person. ~We have the now- er to choose, to take Christ. Some- times the soul hecomes so dead that it has not the power to choose. God’s vision shines down on us as the mid-day sun which shined on Paul when on his way to Damascus. No one hearq the words which God spoke to Paul and so when God sends down His vision upon you it matters not to those beside you. When God's vision comes we know the part we are to play anad that is to be obedient. It is our par: to take up the vislon and put in into action. When there iz.a choice for vou eith- er greater or less, hizh or low, Which tends to lift the soml a little Dit it is the coming of Christ to you. Bishop Acheson spoke relative to tho resnect which we should have for traditions. Rishop Acheson said that he Aid not Jook at a child ard see leaving off traditions and the faith of its father. Fivery man who finds hejl finds it with his own choice and when we make such a choice we are pushing God_away to one side with our right hand and we are doing it right in the face of God.
