WHAT CURES OUT OF TOWN
 TRADING FEVER.

The first thought that comes to my mind on reading the line What has Norwich to offer to her trades peo- pie" is What is it that Norwich does not offer to her patrons Have we not handsome spacious stores, filled to their capacity with first class mer- chandise and at prices that cannot be disputed?
 Have we not merchants who are always on the alert to please GUS tomers-courteous and affable. Gen erous to q fault when tine improve ment or welfare of their city is to be considered?
 Comfortable resting rooms are to be found in their places of business. where the tired customers may re- tire and rest. and desk writing ma terials are always at ones disposal
 For the out of town customer who leaves his Rural home in the early morning hours to visit Norwich and then has the advantage of knowing when his work is done and he feels inclined to enjoy an hour or so, pleas ant trolley rides may be taken. Theaters or playhouses visited a public library in which to while away an hour or so. or a visit to the Art gallery.
 In summer time a delightful sail may be enjoyed for the small sum of twenty five cents where the cool breezes refresh the tired traveler and sends him on his journey home, re- freshed and happier for the day spent here.
 Restaurants also cater to the wants of the people and for thirty five cents a splendid dinner is served. The drug stores for a nickle will fur nish you a cup of delicious hot che cOlate and couple of. waters. Where can you go and do better?
 I must tell you about a hobby" l had at one time. il was this:I just loved to go out of town and do my shopping. I foolishly thought I could buy cheaper. and get a greater variety to select from. and now | will tell you the result of my experience. I wished to purchase among other things material for an Easter suit, all so a white coat for my baby girl of three, l selected what I liked and bought my little coat for half l was sure Of what it could be bought for at home. I paid a small hotel bill for ! could not afford to stay many days, also purchased my ticket to and from New York which cost me a lit lte less than six dollars: but what of that when I had made purchases at bargain prices Easter Sunday was a sunshiny, beautiful day, baby was dressed in her new coat already for her walk but as she raised her little arms above her head I noticed sever al tiny holes and on closer examina- ton found the little garment moth eaten in many places, which I had failed to notice when purchasing the garment nor was my attention called to it.
 The material that I bought for my own suit was exhibited in a local store at twenty five cents a yard cheaper than l had paid for it. I need hardly tell you. for I am sure you can guess that I was cured of the New York shopping fever. Redress is seldom to be found in such cases and it seems to me a much wiser plan to deal with merchants whose honor and integrity is known, and who will stand back of their merchandise.

BETTER GOODS AT HOME AT
 LOWER PRICES.

It might be well in preface 10 re mark on the above subject. to con sider the geographic location of our enterprising city,S
 Located as it is, at the head of the Thames river: II miles from the ocean: on tide water: and Nat the junction of the Yantic and Shetucket rivers. cit is no wonder that our Pu- Iitan forerathers in 1859 started the settlement that has developed into the Market Place of Eastern Connecticut. Naturally Norwich Is q trading center. 1t was in days gone by and has con- tinued to draw and develop mcrch&u- dISiuE business. second tn none. tn a city of it's size, in New England.
 In the last few Esars the catalogues of Western Mail Order Houses have flooded this section cf the country. and it was at one time feared that they would cause more or less drop in local business. That fear has passed, the average business like buyer wants to see the goods before buying. That is the reason why this city of Norwich has so developed and increased its merchandising capacity. that the most particular buyer does not have to go tU Boston, New York. or Providence. Norwich has the variety. the styles the prices. Besides the rush demand for things has practically forced every merchant Ju hay" he goods ur hand

 The writer doubts whether the av- craze person anuaints himself with the wonderful variety, and the location, of merchandise in the city. Does inc average person realize that Norwich has 12 up-to-daJe Shoe Stores where every style and shape is carried? :?

practically everything used in fur nishing a home may be had
 Many persons do not realize that Norwich as a trade center offers ad Vantages superior to those of some larger cities, but such is the case Rent is often very high in larger cities and sp hisher prices must offset the add ed expense.
 While save money by buying in Norwich at any time by following the advertisements I am able to save more than enough in special sales te jus tify d great many lUxuries which other wise l should not feel able to have.
 Anyone who has read the advertise ments of the Norwich clothing and millinery stores for the past several weeks cannot fail to be impressed by the fact these stores carry a strictly up-te-d date line of goods. A visit to them will further convince one.
 Although it may seem a trif1e. the quick, courteous service invariably rendered in nearly all Norwich stores which l have patronized is also condu- ciVe to my trading there. Clerks seem one the opportunity to see goods at their counters in order to make Q se- lection, instead of Gas I have some times seen them in other storeS). feel ing as though it were an imposition to trouble them to show goods.
 Strictly speaking, of course. 1 do not make Norwich my trade-center on ac- count of the theatres. Nevertheless they are an attraction. While anyone may find amusement and improve his mind through access to books. We are not all so fortunate in regard to the theater. l look forward with added pleasure to shopping day in Norwich on this account.
 While l have trading in many places and my experience has ranged over quite q period of time, I have vet to find a trade-centre that compares with The Rose of New England

WHY MAKE NORWICH MY
 DE-CENTRE.

Although not a resident of Norwich. 1 am one of the many who consider the advantages offered by Norwich merchants to their patrons to be un- surpa Ssed
 Nearly all housewives today recog- nlze economy as one of the essentials Of good housekeeping and instead of buying in the old haphazard fashion they run their homes on a business basis.
 By buying economically I do not mean sacrificing quality for quantity but simply getting the most value pos Sible for their money.
 By the aid of the advertisements in the oarers. which successful people in all lines of business follow closely We who live in the surrounding towns can keep in touch with the business world of Norwich
 Those who trade in small town. are at a decided diss dvantage for there IS not enough competition to insure the lowest prices. Ira aneportation fla cillties are oftentimes inferior so mar chants must add enough to the reelr- lar prices to nay for getting the mer- cha ndiSe to their stores: hut these disa dvarta ees are elirniratnd in Nor wIch- Personally ! find I can hny goods there for two-thirds the price 1 would have to pay in local stores
 Another reason why tra ding in Nor- wich is more satisfactory to me than buv1n~ in t11e town where I reside is that here the selection is apt 10 he limited. whfle in Norwich there is a1 ways q, full assortment. Thus one has the onnortnnitV of evercisinor choice when hnyine' rather than being com rered to take what the merchant has or do without
 Not only are eoods cheaner in Nor Wich than in the surroundine towns but the trading stamns given with cast, purchases are an added incentive to buy there The premiums given for these stamps are many and varied and

in Norwich. for I find by making out d list of articles it pays me to buy there. and saves many dollars
 There is also a saving of time by trading in Norwich, as it is reached in an hour, from my home, and it takes much longer to reach other cities, or trade centers.
 Still another reason why trading in Norwich is a pleasure. is the courteous treatment by it's clerks and salesladies. I have found only kind, obHging people in trading, which means much to person who is alone: and often receive advice and new ideas are cheerfully given.
 One can always find clean, home like lunch room where either lunch or dinner is well served, if there should be an all days shopping to do.
 Then, there is the rest room which I appreciate very much. 1 have often found. after my shopping was done. half hour or more to wait for the trolley to leave for home and wend my way to the rest room and there wait for my car ill quieness and com fort
 These are my special reasons for trading in Norwich.

Norwich bulletin., 1914-04-15

There are several reasons why I like to trade in Norwich and for several years it has been my special trading center
 In the first place. Norwich is most convenient to many outside villages and hamlets, because it is easy of ac- cess by many ways.
 It is easy to find ones way about in Norwich, as most of it's stores are within a few minutes walk from either the railroad station or trolley terminal
 Another reason is. I can always find what I want in any case. There is enough competition to enable one to ind what is desired

by, and afterwards one may rest in one of the many rest rooms with which both banks and department stores abound
 The task of doing business in the isfa CtOry and economical. and under such conditions. with business men and clerks ready to do your bidding ch9erfully and well, the task of build ing up a much greater volume of buSi- ness for Norwich should be an easy one.
 Let us all combine to show our ap- preciation of this beautiful city and it's obliging merchants by doing our busi- ness with them, knowing that nowhere else can our transactions ~be conducted with more satisfaction to ourselves

Lincoln, Grant and the Union force,
fought for national supremacy, for a
greater and enduring nationality and
maintained that our Union Of States
was indissoluble. Davis, Lee and
their followers fought for state sov-
ereignty and held that the Union OF
the states was merely a compact that
could be dissolved at viii.
Lincoln and Grant believed that
this country could not long live and
flourish by being half free and half
slave. Davis, Lee and all others who
fought to destroy our flag believed
slavery was kin to a divine right and
that any state should be permitted
to maintain and extend barter in
