House, while not making as much show
as when the walls were going up, is
nevertheless, progressing in a satisfac-
rapidly pushed, and at the same time,
carpenters are putting in the braces

The Automobile Company Of Hartford
county has returned to the Mar-Del
Mobile Company the large bus which
they have been operating for the past
month between Carney and Bel Air. The
practical results showed ample business
to justify the continuance, but the inabili-

strain of climbing the heavy hills and the
jarring consequent to travelling over the
turnpike made the company decide that
until stronger machines were put upon
the market that it was inadvisable to
endeavor to maintain the service.

considered, that has better highways
than Hartford. We are in advance and
present indications say that the next
few years will see no retrograde in the
progressiveness.
