9th, 10th and 11th floors. As all the goods have to be handled during the process of manufacture on all these floors it causes much inconvenience, and makes 1t understandable why they are asking for a factory that will have but one floor.
 As soon as factory roow will per init, they will begin blowing their own glass, and, in fact. make many parts that they are now depending on other industries t1 make for them. The assembling under one roof of all the trades that enter into the manufac- ture of the many articles on which they hold patents will make a plant that every citizen of Norwich will be proud of. On each bottle made will appear the words, Made in Norwich, Conn.," and the whole world will soon learn that Norwich is the home of the Thermos bottle.
 The committee believe that every one in Norwich should do their best to help raise the money necessary to get the company here, as it is the best opportunity ever had and by no means an experiment. New London raised over $100,000 for a womans college and Norwich can surely raise $75,000 for an industry which means more in many ways than a college would. The only way to make the city grow, it is said, is through new industries, and this one is a winner.
 Some of the Benefits. A few instances of the benefit to the city can be noted from the fact that the company used from $S,000 to $12,000 worth of gas year, and they will use electricity for power. It will mean that all real estate will increase in value, hundreds of new houses will be built and the grand list will show decided increase.
 What Some Contributors Think. Other contributors are of the fol- lowing opinions as to the great value of the company locating here:
 The Parke:- Davenport Cc., by Hen ry E. Davenport. says: No business now located in Norwich was started with such bright prospects as this 1 one. believe in the old adage, i nothing ventured, nothing gained, and I am glad to subscribe to fund ] to be used for such a good purpose It is one of the greatest chances Nor wich ever had
 Shea 6, Burke, by Daniel T. Shea says: We can't afford to lose it. Ii l is more than needed now, and I hope we will land it, which will be the means of getting other We are will | ing to do our share. Norwich citizens ought not to neglect this opportunity now, and then be sorry afterwards. Murphy & McGarry by Timothy c l Murphy, says: I am heartily in favor | of the idea. Norwich has been look l ing for such an industry for many
 years and now that the opportunity presents itself for landing such ( highly recommended concern, every citizen should take hold and boost fl 1 along. If we lose this it will be (
 bad blow. It's time now for everyone 1 to pull together
 c. Morgan Williams says: I en- dorse what others have said about it
 I consider it a good thing and Nor
 wich will regret it if it lets the oppor tunity go by. I believe that the nee essary amount will be raised.
 Rutherford c. Plaut says: We ar, seeking a most commendable manu
 featuring concern. It Is something
 which is worth mortgaging the towl
