FORMER wAsHINGToNITEs ANT THEIR
 SUCCESSES.
 Chancing to be in Torrington recently BEE representative came across two former Washingtonites, who are making a success in business. The first was J. W. Brszie, formerly the popular station agent here, who is now conducting an extensive real estate and insurance busi- ness in Torrington. Mir Brazie's busi- ness has grown to such an extent that he is shortly to take a partner in the person of Livingston Bogardus of Dan- bury. Besides the large business he handles in fire and life insurance, MT Brazie is agent for some $75,OOO worth of real estate, and handles great deal of property. He still keeps track of his insurance interests in the Shepaug val ley. MT Brazie has one of the pleasant est offices in the town, located directly over the postcfflce, and commanding a fine view up and down the principal business street. MT Brazie has pleas ant home but short way from the busi- ness thoroughfare. The other gentle man referred to is s. T. Platt, also for merly station agent, who is now carry ing on successful drug business on the principal business street. MT Platt has lost none of his former interest in old Washington and keeps track of it's affairs through THE BEE. Torrington has enjoyed tremendous growth, the population being about 5000. It is a hustling town, ard will doubtless join the ranks of the cities some day. It has d progressive and lively daily paper. The Register, which is ably managed by Editor White
