The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-12-20
STAMFORD

It has been suggested that some one should come to town and open a sta ble. as Capt Wakelee has virtually gone out of the business. his horses frequently being all engaged The same suggestion has been made rela- tive to a repair shop for bicycles. and to a restaurant It is feared all these enterprises would prove unremunera- tive if any one should embark in them The same is true of another candy shop as well as another fruit stoi e. The town Is not large enough to sup port these, and in some instances the experiment has been tried and proved to be disastrous. Most of our people dom go out on the street seeking nov elites. The same is true of the dra- matic business. We are so near Bridgeport it Is quite impractical to try and compete with that city
