Chug! chug! br'r'r! foot! toot |!
heralded the arrival in town last Sat-
urday afternoon of George w. Brackett
and his automobile. Did we drop our
work as though it was time for dinner,
and gaze after that auto? Well pos
sibly; but then that was not becasue
we had never seen one before, but be-
cause it was Mr.. BIS machine and the
first one to be owned in town. And
after enjoying the privilege of four
mile trip in the same, we shall prob
ably never be able again to enjoy as
we have aforetime the old fashioned
bicycle. The good impression made
by the skillful handling of a nearly
perfect machine is very likely to re-
suit in the further sale of autos in
town. Mr.. Bracket will utilize his
in making his trips daily when con-
ditions permit between here and
Hartford.
