 FOR FIVE SHARES
In Norwich Real Estate co-Is to Erect Glass Plant for Thsrnos Bus. inaes.

The American Thermos Bottle com pany is to be subscriber to the Nor wich Real Estate Go. to the extent of five shares. according to letter re- ceived 0n Friday by President Prank J. King gpf the Norwich Board of Trade. The letter was as follows: Norwich. Conn. Oct Is. 1918. Mrr Frank ]. King. President, Nor

 M Dear Sir. The canupaign for the raising of 100000 to erect tenements for the Hopkins e Allen company has been brought to the attention of our president. William B. Walker. and he for five shares of this stock, and at the same time wishes you to be ad- vised that he is in hearty sympathy with this movement
 MT. Walker feels that IS or 20 homes in Thmrrnos park for the use of our employees would be of great benefit to us. and he has long been in hopes that ways and means could be devised whereby they could be se- cured.
 We are also pleased to conmunieate 70 you the fact that it is our expecta- ton to lay before the Norwich fndus- trial and Improvement corporation a proposition to erect a glass plant ad- Joining our present factory, and said proposition will not seek for any con- trfpution or assistance to cover the cost This enlargement will substan- tfally increase our number of em- ployes. and win probably make neces- sary the providing of houses for a number of same in close proximity to our plant. It is our opinion that this investment will be n very substantial contribution on the part of our com pany toward the industrial advance ment of Norwich interests. and if we did not have this heavy investment to provide for, we would undoubtedly be in position to more libernIiy subscrfbe to the real estate company now being organized.
 Mir. Walker desired us to express to you his very best wishes for the sue cess of the Norwich Real Estata corn pany and the Hopkins 6 Allen Arms company. which promise to contribute 70 much toward the prosperity of the city.
 Yours very truly,
 American Thermos Bottle Coz Frederick w Cary,
 Secretary.
 The news that the Thernos com. pany is to make this extension of theii business with its resulting benefit To- cahlly will De welcome to the com. munity. When the Thermos company located here three years ago. one Of tne Ialure ueNelOpmenrS or the bus mess that was talked of as anonr the ultimate possibilities was the es- l tabfishment here of the glass factory for the plant and it will be with much | satisfaction that the citizens see the realization of this carried out
 President Walker, 1t Is known, has been studying and investigating for g long time upon the possibility of es- taoiishing the Thermos con1pany's owr glass factory here and 1t Is no doubi a sattsfaction to him that he is able to announce the early realization O, what has been fin his thoughts fol a long time.
