NO LICENSE FOR
 GRAND CENTRAL
Ferry Declared Unsuitable to Conduct Place in New town Formerly Run by EX-SenatOr Houlihan.

The County Commissioners refused to-day to grant a liquor license to George Ferry at the Grand Central Hotel, in NewtOwn, on the ground that he is unsuitable person This, in all probaoi will stop the applica- tion for the place, unless another ap- plicant comes forward. The new liquor law which limits one saloon to every 500 of population, permits Newtown to have six. There are only five. The population 's 3.026. Ferry's application was also objected to because the hotel is within POO feet of Trinity church one of the oldest edifices in the state. The hotel was formerly conducted by Ex-Senator M. J. Houlihan.

KLEBAN RETIRES
 A NEW $lOO,OOO
 COMPANY FORMED A. B. Chamansky of Laborde Co.,, Succeeds Retiring Member of Kleban 6
 Gelman Go. Laborde-Gelman Go. Is Name of New Corporation Which Takes Over a Well Established Business.

The firm of Kleban & Gelnan, dry goods merchants, at 1142 Main street
 was dissolved yesterday and the in-
 terest of Israel H. K1eban was pur-
 chased by the Ilaborde Co.,, Of 1044
 Main street of which firm A. B.
 Chamansky is president and treasur-
 CT. For g. time the two big stores
 will be conducted separately but as
 soon as W. B. and Archer c. Wheel CT, owners of the handsome building
 at. 1142 Main street. can enlarge it
 for the accommodation of a larger
 business the two stores will be con-
 solidated.
 The Laborde Co.,, has been a $2O,-
 Kleban & Gelman was conducted as partnership. The new firm will
 come into existence as the Laborde- Gelman Co.,, and will be a $1OO, 900 The consolidation of these two grow ing houses will combine the general cloak and suit business of the Laborde Co.,, with the department store and dry goods business of Kleban & Gel man.
 Both MT. Chamanslxy and MT. Gel man who will be the heads of the new corporation have hosts of friends in this city and their popularity cou- pied with their sterling business quail ifications assures the public that the city is going to have another big store which will be model of it's kind.
 It is only a few years ago that both the Laborde Co.,, and Kelban & Gelman were located in single stores north of Fairfield avenue. The La borde Co.,, now occupies three floors and has out grown the building in Main street opposite Howland's. K1e- ban & Gelman used to be located in a single store north of Golden Hill street and with keen foresight they saw that business would go north of Fairfield avenue if somebody did something to help it along. They de- cided to do their part. When the Wheeler brothers wanted to build business block, Kleban & Gelman said we will take the ground Later they said they would take two floors but before the building was completed they said "the whole building for ours.'' The entire structure provided none too much room and now the owners are providing some way of en- larging the building which has foun- eral more stories.
 As soon as the papers were trans ferred yesterday MT. Chamansky took up his share of the management of the big store in connection with his own business. Because of the altera- tions and the shifting of departments that will follow the launching of the new corporation the firm will have some interesting announcements tO make to their patrons later on.
 MT. Kleban who retires from the
 firm has not made any announcements as yet concerning his business future. Since his advent into the local com merciad field he has made many friends by his uniform courtesy and the attained by the firm of which he was senior member was in DO small due to his endeavors. Both Mr. Chamansky and MT. German have proven their worth in the business life of Bridgeport and that their new ven ture is bound to be a successful one goes without saying.
