1862, settled up there and started out alone in South Willington as Gardiner Hall, Jr., & Co.,, the firm that has grown and increased to it's present di- mansions.
 He did his own bleaching. took care of the winders, worked nights, and sold his goods, soon making from $500 to $400 a week. There were only two or three families in the village then, where now there are about 300 people and 90 families who received turkeys from Mir Hall this Thanksgiving as employees of his mill.
 Such was the excellence of his product, the promptness of his ship ment, and the dependability of his production that he could always de- pend upon his customers sticking to him. One other feature of the busi- ness is that it has always been fam fly affair, not one dollar of interest ever having been owned outside of the family. At one time his two brothers -in-law, the late John R. i Champlin of Norwich and Marcus M i Johnson of Willington, were partners with him in the business.
 i In this city MT Hall was next to | the largest stockholders in the Daven- 1 port Firearms company and a large 1 stockholders in the Hopkins & Allen
 Arms company, but these interests have been sold out. For 25 years he | has been a stockholders in the Pone-
 nah Mills company, and he has known ! and been a friend of every business
 man of prominence in the city. He is
 also an exceedingly large stockholde1 | in the Berkshire mills of 260,000 spin

SEVERAL HUNDRED BARRELS
 WENT UP IN SMOKE
Norwich Boys Keep up the Thanks giving Custom of Their Ancestors.

gIvIng Custom of lheIr Ancestors.
 One of the great ceremonies of the year to the small boy was that car ried out last evening when hundreds of barrels strung upSon long poles were consumed by flames. From shortly after nightfalI until late in the eve ming ruddy glows all over the city marked the various scenes wherein youth conducted the annual Thanks giving night, rites of the barrel burn ing. At all the various centers of illumination outside the ring of en- thusiastic youngsters were gathered many older persons for whom the glaring, twisting piles of flames still held fascinating attraction. In spite of the wet snow throughout the day the boys were busy stringing the poles with barrels, securing what last fuel they were able to find and enjoying the whole proceedings immensely. Not a small part of the fun is experienced when rival gangs" clash and a pos sible black eye or two and sundry bruises result.
 Perhaps the biggest illumination was on Roswell avenue, where the Scalpers, as they choose to term themselves, burned about 300 barrels. The Falls avenue gang, of which Joe Mahoney is captain, turned into ashes 15O barrels on what is known as Browns park, the first string being lighted at about 6.45. In the rear of Dr. G. A. Comeau's s house on Broad street, a party of small boys had 30 barrels, which they sent up in smoke and ruin. On Dr. l.. E. Walkers lot on Division street there was burning, while Cliff street, the East Side, Laurel Hill, Elizabeth street, West Pearl street. and Norwich Town came in for their share of illumina- tion. The results of weeks of effort consumed in a single night is no dam per to the enthusiasm of the youth of Norwich and with the opening of Oc- tober, 1913, the housewife will again enter a two months state of eontinu- al prosecution.
