SINGER MANUFACTURING co.

A record of lover a million sewing machines sold each year is the chief recommendation of the Singer Manu- featuring Go with the local agency in charge. of E. J. Sullivan at 49 Center street To sound the praises of the Singer machines is like trying to prove the truth of truism. But here we must recall to the forgetful few of the virtues of the worlds standard sewing machine. In construction the Singer machine is model of simpHc- ity, elegance and durability. It rep resents the years of past experience and now stands as the combination of mechanical perfection. A cheap sew ing instrument, like a cheap watch. , may work satisfa ctorily for a short time. but age is the test. and the infer for article soon proves it's inutility. When you put money into a Singer you put money into a reliable enter prise that pays the largest possible dividends. Actually tested ma chines," unusually large bobbins for lower thread" and greatest range of work' are a few of Singer truisms Sewing machines are adjusted and cleaned by experts The Singer Go has been established in Waterbury for over thirty years and during that time no fault has been found with the method of conducting business. E.J Sullivan the present manager. came hero. last March from New Haven, where he had many years experience with the Singer agency there.

THE D. E. WILSON CO.

One of the most remarkable exam ples of what energy and business sa
 gacity can do is shown in the case of D. R. Wilson, whose hardware store at 13-17 East Main street Is widely known. Thirty years ago MT Wilson, who was born in Harwinton md edu- cated at q business college in New Ha- ven, came to Waterbury. He had practically no capital except youth, am
 bition and push. He entered the con fectionery and restaurant business on East Main street and prosecuted it dI- 1fgently for some years Tn 1870 he entered the employ of C. H. Gilbert q hardware merchant. whose store form ed part of what is now Mir Wilson's place. It was general store and in-

significant in comparison with the one which from two stores on the ground floor has grown to proportions second to none in Connecticut MT Wilson went into business for himself in 1873 and from that time his trade has grown with amazing speed. The orig inal store has been added to and re- habilitated several times until now in addition to the stores on the first floor he occupies commodious store rooms on the second story, and q large base ment underneath. Sixteen years ago he erected a warehouse near the N. Y. & N. E. tracks, three stories high, of brick, with a ground measurement of 65x35 feet, and facilities for un loading direct from the car. MT Will son does a wholesale and retail busi hess in hardware. farm machinery. seeds and fertilizers. He is the agent for the leading bicycles and for A. C.. Spalding's sporting and athletic goods. Everything in the line of hard ware is on his shelves, and sportsmen find be carries a full line of rifles. shOtguns, revolvers, ammunition and fishing tackle. Many athletic and gymnastic teams have been fitted out of his stock. He carries full sup ply of cutlery and mechanical sundries. In short, his is a complete store in its line. and that is all need be said. His reputation does the rest. In 1897 he formed q stock company consisting of D. B. Wilson president and treasurer: F. A. Alden secretary: ID. W. Wilson, assistant treasurer, and George Stone, assistant secretary.

Daniel SuIIy in a New Play.

On Saturday. oct. 8. theatre patrons
of the Opera House will witness Il pres
entation in this city of Daniel Sully's
pleasing play The Old Mill Stream
There is mysterious something in this
play which appeals to all theatregoers.
The story is simple but wonderfully in
teresting. depicting as it does the do
ings of an evening on the road of life.
The characters are novel, natural and
eloquent. Some are eloquent i'm their
simplicity. as there is no attempt to
awaken applause either in the lines or
the situations. Yet the applause comes,
for the strength of the scenes sway the
audience which nightly demands that
the curtain go up and down several
times after the last act. This is a trib-
ute to the play, for rarely does an au-
dience linger after the play is over to
demand another glimpse of the little
mimic world across which life's Skin
mish line has been thrown. The seat
sale will open on Thursday Oct. / at
10 A. NJ.
