COMPANY.

One OF the most effective methods of bringing a
community before the notice Of the world consists
in having its name sent broadcast stamped on some
article manufactured at homo. This has been done

I1ring Company, the most important industry OF
the locality, whose famous Yale lock goes TO all
parts Of the world This invention and its sub
sequent development revolutionized the art Of lock-
making in America.
Linus Yale, jr. the inventor OF these renowned
locks, was born in 1921, at Newport, y. Y. In Oc-
