Cottrell & Hopkins, real estate and

opened up branch Office in Grafton at
I27 West Main street. over the Central
meat market. The Grafton Office will be
in charge of Mr. c. w. HopIcins. The

years experience IN all branches of the
business and by strict attention to BUSH
ness, enterprise and progessiveness, faith
fuIness in the interests of their clients,
they shall strive 10 build up a business
which will be credit to the town and a
factor in its development. The fact that
they graye an office in Clarksburg should
be a strong reason why parties having
property to sell should place it in their
hands, as the people of lCarISsburg are
interested in Grafton's growth, and
through its agency in that town could
induce Them to invest in real estate in
that city. The two Offices will be in
close touch with each other. They will
represent tile accident, health and liza
bility departments of the Aetna Insur-
ance Co, of Hartford, the Union Central
Life Insurance company and the New
