Branch Office. 500 west Thirteenth street
Believing firmly in the prosperity and
steady growth Of Manchester and in the lib
crafty OF her people. The TINES about three
months ago established a bureau and branch
Office here. A part Of Mr.. William G.. Owens
time was secured and the Bureau located at
Fifth and Porter streets. where he attended
TO the interests Of TIE TIMES in con-
nection with his other business. The cir
c~ulstion Of Tai TIwEs in Manchester, how
ever, has increased so rapidly since the ex-
pertinent was tried, and business has i'm
proved at such q rate. that it has been
found absolutely necessary for Mr.. Owens
TO devote his entire time TO the in
terest of the paper. He has, there
fore, severed his connection with
his other business and is now turning his
every effort TO the welfare Of TIE TINES. The
success of the paper speaks for his efforts in
the past and the faith Of THE TIMES in Man
chester and her people has been fully verified.
The circulation Of The TIMES in Manchester.
which is now far greater than all other Rich
mond daigies combined. is still rapidly in
c%reasing. The Bureau has been moved from
Fifth and Porter streets to Twelfth and Hull
streets. and a branch Office has been located at
500 west Thirteenth street.
