EQUAL TO ANY CITY OF ITS SIZE INITS ATTRACTIONS-EXCELS ALL IN ECONOMICAL OP-
 PORTUEITY.


 From the standpoint of the country dweller, Norwich offers many oppor- tunities to trade economically and sat isfactoriIy.
 The means of reaching the heart of the city by the steam roads and troll leys which tap the entire surrounding country is unequalled. The stations of the two steam roads-the Central Vermont and the New Haven-are cen traIy located and you may step from the trolley almost at the door of any of the stores where you intend to pur- chase.
 There is also an excellent way Of reaching the city by means of the River Thames, which with it's beauti- ful scenery flows from the RUSt of New England. Many excursion boats ply on it's waters and afford a very pleas urabIe mode of travel in the warm months.
 Excellent roads also lead into Nor Wich from all directions, making it easy to drive or motor there to trans act business. And in this connection it may be well to add there are nu- merous garages and liveries where your horse or motor may be ieIt While you are shopping. and where you may make any purchases you desire in con- nection with them.
