 Stratford, July 17-The much sought
 for and freely predicted bank for the
 town of Stratford is likely to become
 reality in the near future A num-
 per Of men of means, residents of the
 town, have been considering the mat
 ter and an estimate of the amount
 of capitalization has been ascertained
 ". B. Futile has been approached in
 the interests of these men and asked Tor terms upon which he will adapt
 the new building which will soon oc-
 cupy the site of the present drug store, for the banking business. The desir-
 ability of banking institution in the
 town has been thoroughly presented to the public many times in the past
 and efforts have been made to locate
 such an institution in the town Out
 side parties have been behind the
 previous efforts and nothing was ac-
 compiished. This time local capital
 ists have taken hold and the, plan
 gives greater promise of fulfilIment. The proposed building will be ornate and real extension of the present block. The drug store building will
 be moved toward the south, leaving room for the proposed structure. It is the proper location for a banking institution. A trust company charter would allow the corporation to trans
 act a variety of business which would relieve residents of the necessity of going to Bridgeport. It would also be in position 10 give the residents of the town better service than any Bridgeport institution.
