EYh NORWICH | BU IN NORWICH FIFTY YEARS AGO One half century ago this week the oentral school district voters in meeting assembled instructed their committee, Eb- épeser Learned and H. L. Clarke, to erect on Laurel Hill a schoolhouse for the ¥rcommodation of that growing sec- tion of the city. The schoolhouse was to be-two stories high with four rooms and two of the rooms fhe committee were instructed to furnish. The whole cost of the bullding was to be not more than $6,000. From the files of the Norwich Bulletin of 1879 the following extracts are glean- od: Monday, June 20, 1870: Phillip Carey, & laborer, in the employ of the New London Northern Railroad company, was thrown from a hand car Saturday morn: ing, near the rolling mill below the city and dangerously injured. The crank of the car which he was turning escaped his grasp and struck him on the head, knoeking him down and again striking him in the stomach. Mr. Carey fell from the car beside the track unconseious, and was later carried to his home on Forest street, West Side, where he now lies in a critical condition One of the monkeys formerly attach- ed to French's circus is now attached to the cold, cold ground, for his little car- s slumbers in Hobbin's lot with 100 feet of stone wall for a monument.

If You Can’t Call at the Store —— Write or Phone DONT BE TO LATE FOR THIS J.P.BARSTOW & CO. HEATING ENGINEERS FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS 23-25 WATER STREET It will pay you well to read every word of this message 1. WHAT THE ROUND OAK DOES FOR YOU : Heats your entire house, either large or sall, upstairs and down, old or new, city or country, flooding it with an abundant supply of pure, warm ever-changing moist air, permanently fres from dust, gas, and smoke. Safeguards the welfare of your family by warming your home to & comfortaBle temperature in any weathsr. £ Affords most convenient, easiest operated, simply regulated, safest, quickest heating, modern systsm you can own. Buens any kind of fuel, coal or wood and saves 1-3 to 1-2 of your fuel bill. Saves you many dollars in cost, compared tc other types of systems. Increases value of your property more than amount investsd in its purchase. 2. ABOUT INSTALLING ROUND OAK FOR YOU: Requires no space in rooms; least space in basement, easiest, least expensive, and quickest to install in new or old buildings, does not warm basement enough to necessitate building special closet for storage of fruits and vegetables, reduces fire risk, will last a life- time, barring abuse. 3. WHERE THE ROUND OAK MAY BE USED Homes, old or new, large or small, city or country, summer cottage, s an auxiliary to steam or hot-water plants, for more economical and convenient us: in spring or fall—churches—stores—hails—small factories—schools—public buildings—or wherever necessary to have a heating plant that is installed quickly, draws easily, heats ra economically, saves space and is simple to operate, MaALy SAFE: 4. WHY YOU ARE ABSOL! X Your order for a Round Oak Pipeless Furnace is accepted with the understantling that unless the trained heating enginzers of the manu- facturers can safely guarantee it to operate efficiently in your home it will not bo installed, and we will refund any money paid. Their decision will be made after careful study of conditions in each home —no guess work. This protects all concerned. This engineering sorvice is free. Ask us for mere information. 5. COMPARE THE ROUND OAK WITH STOVES: It warms all the home to an even temperature by circulating the heat, while heating stoves radiate the ireat but a short distance and cannot heat evenly. With a Round Oak Pipeless Furnace there is but one fire to run, no fuel or ashes to be carried through the living rooms, nothing to “set up” or “take down” every fall and spring. Always ready for instant use. Saves time, work, and expense. 6. COMPARE WITH STEAM OR HOT WATER : The Round Oak warms the home quicksr—no waiting, and provides an abundant supply of everchanging, circulating moist air, which well-informed physicians recommend as most healthful, instead of bone-dry heat. No radiators to keep clean or take up spac: in ssing, pounding noises; no expensive leaks to “need fixing;” requires no special care in can> you are away during, freez- ing weather. Keeps the basement cool for the storage of fruits and vegetables. 7. COMPARE WITH “HOT AIR” FURNACES HAVING PIPES and REGISTERS to EACH ROOM : In a home where trained heating engineers would specify either type of -circulating furnace as suitable;, the Round Oak Pipeless has several conveniences dver the pipe furnace: (1) Only one large register needed in entire house; (2) no heat-pipe dampers to regulate —simply close the door of any room not to be heated; (3) takes-less space in basement; (4) no loss of heat through pipes in Wall or basement; (5) no heat pipes to be n:placed because of rusting; (6) no chance for installers to deviate from engineer’s specificsions, with the risk of an inefficient heating plant. Makers of the Round Oak Pipeless Furnace build their heating engineer's spesi ns right into the furnaces, at the factory, so that featur:s vital to satisfactory heating cannot be altered or tampered: with. *
