an object lesson of what Connecticut acres
can do in this direction when called upon
by industrious labor under experienced
and intelligent management. It furnishes
standing argument, amounting to dem

fruitful in possibilities of productiveness
as any other land If it gets the cultivation

MANUFACTURING IN HARTFORD.
Colonel Albert A. Pope, president of the
Pope Manufacturing company, has bought
a controlling interest in the Hartford Rub
Der works at Parkville. The Courant
says:
New officers were elected as follows:
President, Albert A. Pope; secretary, 81.
81. Francis; treasurer, George 81. Day.
The company has already made plans for
largely extending the business and will
erect more buildings and add new engines.
About 40 hands are employed and the
output of the establishment was nearly
$500, 900 last year. A large proportion of
the present business consists of the manu-
facture of bicycle tires, pneumatic, cushion
and solid, one very large contract being
with the Pope Manufacturing company for
the manufacture of the tires for the various
patterns of Columbia bicycles. From JAN
uary 1 to July of the present year the
works were run twenty-four hours per day
to supply the demand for the company's
products.
There is every evidence of increasing
prosperity to this already prosperous con-
Germ, which from small beginnings has
grown to be one of Hsrtford's largest man
ufacturing concerns. The change of con-
troll will not make any change in the bust
ness.
