The New Home or an EnterprIsingi
 Dry Goods Firm.
 The truth of the adage. External yigi. lance is the price of success" has never been more fully demonstrated to the peo- pie of Waterbury than in the phenomenal success which has attended the business career of the enterprising proprietors of Curran's we'll known dry goods establish ment. They are living example of what young men can accomplish by thrift and faithful application to the details of n most exacting business. That the Cur rans have made good the various state ments issued to the public through the press IS evidenced by the upward march in the dry goods trade since their advent into business just four years ago. Prior to that time these young men were clerks in local store with nothing behind them but good. sound mental energy and grim determination to make their mark in some legitimate business avocation. That they have accomplished their purpose will be patent to all who will visit the mammoth warerooms which they are about to open in Browns new arcade building in Ex- change place. For the past two years the firm has not been able to give full scope to its capacity owing to the crowded condi- tion of its apartments. nut this obstacle Is soon to be removed, and it will then be enabled to give full veut 10 the genius and -kill of its enterprisiDg managers.
