CITY BOOKBINDJNG co.

When business is conducted or strictly business principles and care and attention are given to that busi- ness, there Is bound to be a success such Is the case with the City Book binding Go. located at 210 Bank street. It was only a few years ago that this company was organized, yet there was instilled into that organization enough of energy and go-aheadativeness to en- sure at least some measure of advance ment From a small and perhaps in significant business the City Bookbind- Ing Co has grown to one of large pro- portions There is perhaps no other business of the kind in this city that has made such rapid strides and has done so much in the short time in which 1t was accomplished. The plant or manufactory Is one of the hest equipped in the state of Connecti- cut. Every piece of improved ~machin- cry that has come into the market has been utilized by the City Bookbinding Go. The work turned ont has always received the praise of the customers. There are no exorbitant prices charged for work and there Is no one can speak more truthfullv on that point than the customers themselves. In a great measure the responsibility for all that has been accomplished has fallen upon the shoulders of the manager. and Gus. tave X. Zibell was the right man in the right place.

JOHN P. ELTON.

When the new administration as Sumes the control of the affairs of the city and town of Waterbury. situa- tion vthat was brought about by the defeat of the entire democratic ticket at the recent election held in this citv
 strange will be the coincidence that will place the reins of government ill tho hands of a young native Water hurian. while the. reins will be laid down hy another native born. On the first day of January, 1904, John Prince Elton will become mayor and Edward C. KtldUff will retire after years of service to his native city. Mayor-elect John r. Elton was born in this city June 3O 1885. He comes from some of the old pioneer stock which has been Instrumental in the building up of this prosperous manufacturing cen- ter. His grandfathcr's name is his. and those who knew the pioneer of the Elton family say he possesses all the characteristics of John Prince Elton, the first. The name of Elton Is better and more familarly known than per hapS any other in the history of the city of Waterbury. It was no wonder that John Prince Elton received the ma aiority of votes for the office of chief executive of the city of Waterbury. The name of Elton has always been SYNONYMOUS of good fellowship. It mattered not to the Elton family from the grandfather down to the grandson whether you wore overalls and jump or or whether you were dressed III broadcloth, your reception was always the same There was no distinction in nationality or in religion. All were given the same generous courtesy and the poor man and tho rich man were given the same honest hand shake. NIayor-olcct Elton is to-day ln ms thirty eighth year.

Among the representative business
 houses of Waterbury is that of Lilley.
 Swift & Co., This firm stands Hike d
 rock in the sea of commercial activity.
 It's foundation constructed of the un-
 dying elements of integrity. industry
 and sagactty, may be hkened to that of Gibraltar. The co-partnership be- tween George L. Lilley, G. F. Swift and E. C. Swift was entered into in
 December. Hs81, under the firm name of Lllley, Swift & Go, and it continued under the firm name of Lilley. Swift
 & % until n1e death of c. F. Swift. in March of this year. G. F. Swift was the original Swift of beef fame. and was of the original house of this hon. ored name. Lilley, Swift & Go have no connection with any other concern engaged in the same line of trade. or with any other house bearing the name of Swiftly The only interests at- taching tolthe firm of Lilley, Swift & Go are in Waterbury. They are not tied up toi any western packers. The talk of l]ecf trust is characterized by MT L1lley tas absurd. as there are over one hundTed Independent dealers doing business dn an extensive scale outside of the big Chicago packers. Lilley, Swift & GO deal in choice dressed beef. mutton, lamb, veal, pork. pro- visions, hutter, eggs. cheese and poul- try. Their splendid plant is located at Grand, Cedar and Willow streets, and occupies a strip of land compris- ing about; 11,O0O square feet. It has refrigeratfng storage capacity of about teil cars. The plant is one of the most thoroughly equipped of its kind in the country, and employs every mechanical attribute and every prac- tical method that the present progress sive era affords for facilitating the va rious processes which obtain in this line of trade. The volume of busi- ness transacted by the company ap- proximates $1,OOO, ,OOO annually. and a large forces of people are given employ ment the year round. From the above resume of. the concerns activities an idea of the immensity of its scope may be obtafnled. To preseItt the history of Ltlley. Swift & Go without recount ing the personal achievements of George l.. Lilley would be like a re- view Of the progress of the American nationt minus the identity of the i'm mortal Father of His Country. In both the ceaseless ,whirl of conner cial competition and in the unrelent ing strife of the political world Mi Lflley is a powerful factor. To his excellent talents, coupled with honest and energetic business methods. much of the success of the firm which he so ably directs may be unreservedly at tributed His business ability is uni ve1-sally admftted his energy is a po- tent reality: his integrity is beyond the shadow of Interrogation.
