THE GEORGE H. FORD COMPANY
An Important New Joint Stock Or
ganiZQtiou Just Formed.


The business conducted by General
George Ford has been merged into joint
stock company, under the state laws, and
the business is to be conducted by the
company, of which General Ford is presi-
dent and Mr.. Frederick L. Tibbals, who
has for the past ten years been identified
with the store as salesman, is secretary
and treasurer. A few months ago the
building, corner of State and Chapel
streets, which has been occupied continu-
ously by Mr.. Ford, the predecessor in the
business since 1916, was purchased by Mr..
Ford. and the extensive alterations, which
have been in progress for several months,
will be completed during the summer and
will result in an enlarged and great i'm
provement of the premises. The in
creased facilities thus afforded will enable
them to carry much larger stock than
heretofore, and the establishment, inva-
riably high as it's reputation has always
been, will take rank among the largest in
the New England States. Few houses can
point to SO long continued and honorable a
history, having been existence for sixty
years. The members of the new company
are to be congratulated upon their enter
prise and SUCCESS.
