WiNDHAM SILK CO.
Holds Annual Neutrality-suspicious. and
Stockholders Re- eiected-NearIy a
Decade of Successful Growth.

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Windhom Silk com
pany, Monday afternoon, in the board
of trade rooms, the following directors
were, were reelected: Frank Larraoee, Will
liam +. Jordan, Hugh G. Murray. Den
mis- Shea, c. j. Alpaugh, Lyman A.
Nichols and Charles Fenton, all of
this city, II. r. Woodward of Ashford
and Colonel w Fl. Hall of South Will
1ngton. The directors met after the
meeting of the stockholders and re-
eleted the following officers: President
Frank Larrabee; vice president. c. J.
AlpauSh: treasurer, William p. Jor-
dan; secretary and manager Captain
Charles Fenton.
The company was organized and
started business in April. 1901. From
the start 1t was a paying financial
venture. and today its stock is worth
considerable over double dts original
par value. Although the matter of
dividends paid is a thing about which
little is said, it is known that there
are but very few, if any, companies in
this section of the state which pay as
much to its stockholders each year as
the Windham Silk company.
Not long ago the company purc1las-
ed the large brick building in which
1t has been located since it's organiza-
ton. The building was also occupied
until recently by the Willimantic Ma
chine company. The latter company
had to move in order to make more
room for the silk company. Aside from
that the silk company has built a. large
three story brick addition, which is
now completed. 1t is expected that the
new building will be ready for opera
ton when the company celebrates its
tenth anniversary next April. The new
building and the repairs to the old
one called for an expediture of over
$4,000.
