GOING INTO MERGER. Will Be Part of Big New Corporation With Two New York Companies. By about the first of June, it was stated on Wednesday evening by Ed- win A. Tracy, president and general manager of the Norwich Nickel and Brass company, this company will be- come one of the three plants of a new corporation to be formed with a capi- talization of about $1,000000 or more. Details of the merger have not been fully worked out, but the preliminary negotiations have progressed so far that the formation of the new cor- poration is assured. The new corporation will be known as J. R. Palmerberg & Son, Inc, of New York, and will include with the Norwich company the firm Palmerberg of New York Kindlimann - Form company, also of ‘New York. These two companies manufacture the same general line of brass and nickel display and window fixtures as have been made for so many years by the Norwich company, which has been one of the leaders in of J. R and the this line in the United States and had | a market for its goods that extended all over' the world. Officers for the new company and other kindred details have not been settled as yet, but Mr. Tracy said that the metal part of the business would be kept here and the local factory on Thames street would do practically the same volume of business as it had always done. The Norwich Nickel and Brass com- pany has been one of the stable in- dustrial concerns of the city for many years and it will be with satisfaction that the business men of the city learn that its entrance into the new corporation will not mean a change or t);te removal of the factory from the city.

The laborers de- manded 50 cents per hour and then agreed to compromise at 47 1-2 cents but the contractors state they will not Ppay over 45 cents as that is all that is being paid anywhere in the state.
