The active manage ment of the business will rest with MT Bentley, a young man of high charac- | ter. lie has had wide and valuable experience and will bring to his present undertaking just the equipment need- ed for doing business in the best and modern manner. Mir Bentley was with Treat X Starr, the predecessors of W: G. Barton, for three and one-hal i years. and is therefore already well and favorably known by the New Mill ford people. Afterwards he was with the following New York concerns: with Simpson, Crawford x Simpson, 9th Avenue. 10th and 2Oth streets, two and a hal years; with James McCreery X Co.,, West 23d street, four years
 and then he joined the staff of the Dry Goods Economist, with which he has been connected for nearly two years and with which he has had an eXcep. tionally good opportunity to become acquainted with advertising methods
