FEEDER co. MOVING
 TO NEW LONDON.
Prosperous Norwich Concern Buys
 Three Story Building There.

The Norwich Automatic Fieedere company, located on the second floor of the Troy Laundry building on Franklin street. has just purchased a brick building on Trumbull street in New London and is to move it's busi- ness there about the end of this month.
 The new building will give the com- pany greatly enlarged quarters over what it has now, change that Is call ed for by the large increasing busi- ness of the company, said secretary and treasurer, Harry H. Walker, on Tuesday evening.
 The building they will occupy in New London is 110x35, three stories, and the company will occupy the en- tire building. Extensive repairs will be made. including the installation of elevators.
 In the location here the company has employed from IS to 20 men. but a considerable enlargement of the bus mess is to be made, which is largely called since the establishment of the English factory over a year ago The blanks for the chicken feeders which the company manufacture have all been made here, and sent over to Eng land to be made up but the business has grown so that the Norwich factory could not keep up to the demand With the enlarged facilities in their new location they expect to supply the de- mand.
 Four years ago the Norwich Auto matic Feeder company was an infant industry here, but it has made a steady growth to the present state where still further enlargement is call ed for.
 The original machine made was improved so that now the feeder on the market consists of a hopper on standards controlled by a gate. By picking at a wire screened receptacle in which grain Is placed the hens trip this gate and a few kernals of grain fall to the ground. The action causes the hen to go through a certain amount of exercise in obtaining her feed which Is highly beneficial. The automatic feeder is shipped to all parts of the world and has clearly demonstrated its value to poultry

Her cargo had to be lightered and lowed back to Jacksonville, along with the crippled schooner. Repairs were made and the schooner reloaded. The second start was made May Is.
 This shipment of creosoted piles con- stitutes about one- third of the total number which will be required to com plete the outer pier areas. The piles are driven close together and solidi- fled with filling in with riprap.
 Tho construction of the terminal is progressing rapidly and many visitors are attracted to the site at the present time. Within the next few weeks still greater progress will be in evidence.

 The committee has therefore invited Rev. Uric o. Bellerose, rector of Sa- cred Heart church, Taftville, to pro- nounce the benediction and he has &C.,, cepted.
