name of J. & G.. Griffin, bought, last

factory formerly occupied by the Shelton
Brass Hardware Co., intending to move
their baton business to Shelton in the
early Spring. Though their plans were
not sufficiently advanced to say anything
definite as yet, the proprietors admitted
to BEE reporter that they should prob
ably not greatly enlarge their force Mt
once, but were simply preparing for an
increased volume OF business when fully
established In Shelton. A power of 90
horse Is furnished by the wheel in the
four-story factory, 36x90 feet. with two
wings Of less floor space and has been
built but few years. 1t is conveniently
located next to the works Of the Silver
Plate Co., where freight may be rolled
from the car into the factory, freight
rates to New York also being much less,
so that the firm are satisfied that the
present production of buttons can be
placed In market cheaper from Shelton
than at their present location. George
Griffin, elder member Of the firm, has
patented, manufactured and placed in his
Huntingtown shop hydraulic press and
a lathe and has building at New Haven
piercing machines to facilitate button
making and will place orders for more Of
them, as the demands Of business war

out and may make other varieties Of but
tons and cater TO the export trade, but
