At 6.33 o'clock the fire department was caled cut by telsphone for a bad fire be- tween the partitions on the first, second and third floors in the immediate vicinity of the chimney. When the Main strest chemical crew, chief and deputy chief who responded to the call, arrived upon the scene the flames were beginnig to spread and only by prompt and efficient work were the firemen able to prevent th flames from zaining any further headway. A line of 2 1-2 inch hose was quieklly run into the building and the stream of water together with the contents of the 10 gallon chemical tank on the Main street auto soon had the flames squelch- ed. The chimney which caused the was =o hot that it couldn't be touched with the bare hand. A good sized fire was burning in the furnace and the heat from this caused the chimney to get much too hot for the woodwork surrounding it. It is understood that steps will be tak- en to have the defective chimney’rem- edied. This is the second time in & month that the department has been called ‘to the American House. The other call oc- curred for a similar fire on December 9th. fire MANY CONTRIBUTIONS FOR FMILY WELFARE The folilowing persons have contribut- ed to the regular work of the family wel- fare department of the Unitetd Workers during the month of December: Oscar Schander, Mrs. Robbins, Mrs. Charies Leffingwell, Mrs. David Gordon, Mrs. John Morrison, Mrs. John McWii- liams, Mrs. Edward Brodeur, Mrs, Wil- liam A.

STATE INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS BELOW NORWAL Connecticut industries were almost 40 per cent. below normal in their November operations, according to the monthly re- ports of the Manufacturers’ Association of Connecticut. The percentage of in- dustrial activity for N:vember, embrac- ing both the number of workers employed and the hours worked per week was 61.6 per cent. of normal. This was a slight reduction from Qotober, which showed 62.6 per cent. of mcrmal. The average weekly operating schedule in the plants covered in the November report was 15.3 hours, or 85.4 per cent. of normal, whiie the number employed was 71.2 per cent. of normal.

YOUR 1922 CAMPAIGN In the busy industrial State of Connecticut—the newspaper that has the greatest percentage of net-paid circulation, size of population considered is THE NORWICH BULLETIN [Prepared for Newspaperdom by James Robert McCutcheon ¥ HE writer, after analyzing a considerable amount of data, concerning circulations and adver-. - tising rates of Connecticut newspapers, finds that the Norwich Bulletin has the largest percentage of strictly net-paid circulation, based on population, of any newspaper in the State of Connecti- cut—and it is a percentage so largely in excess of any other daily, that the following table should be of intense interest to National advertisers and advertising agency men, now that 1922 campaigns are being discussed, planned or executed: Norwich Bulletin.. . Bridgeport Post.,.. 49.0 percent 20.4 percent New London Day. Hartford Times... 41.2 percent <ees. 309 percent - The above table is signifléant, for it illustrates the fact that the Norwich Bulletin has the greatest reader-support—in proportion to population—of any of Connecticut’s fine newspapers. And still more noteworthy is the fact that this paper has the tenth largest circulation in the country for a newspaper published in a city of 25,000 to 30,000 population. In considering circulations of the two respective . newspapers published within the Norwich consumer market zone, I find that the next newspaper to the Bulletin gives advertisers 15.8 percent circulation in proportion to population. = N Next, I find that the Bulletin gives local and National advertisers 2,188 of strictly net-paid circula« tion for each one cent per line of advertising cost—and that the next nearest newspaper gives I,401 copies for each ong cent per line of advertising cost. In other words, the Bulletin gives each adver- tiser practically one thousand more of net-paid circulation for each one cent per line of advertising cost than the next newspaper, for the people making up the Norwich consumer market. Next year, 1922, already promises to be the best advertising year for National advertisers of any that has been crossed from the calendar since before the war. This is an important point—and it is because of this important point, that we present these circulation and advertising rate deductions. The Norwich Bulletin and 1922 campaigns must be closely allied—if result-producing efficiency is to count. The Norwich Bulletin 'NORWICH, CONNECTICUT, | Reprinted from Newspaperdom, New York City, December 29, 1921. . "~ The Norwich Bulletin, as Every advertising man who has studied the Norwich situation knows, is a newspaper of wonderful efficiency from the reader viewpoint—or reader-efficiency. This fact is, of course, thoroughly demonstrated through the table shown—the Bulletin circulation reaching, as I said before, 49 percent of the population. Since the reader-efficiency of the Bulletin is so generally recog- nized, it is not at all surprising that circulation must become an absolute necessity in the family life and business activity all over the zone of which Norwich is the purchasing and distributing center, Roll niund., with the year, 2 And n‘e;u stand stili till the Master - Hs ado“n:\dl:' will t us And our talents i the patience of hope, and the labor of love.
