ROSE OF NEW ENGLAND
 AS TRADING CENTER.
Norwich Stores Furnished To Supply Every Need of Eastern Connecticut Demonstration Through Mer- chants Week,

Through the push and energy of the most representative business men of Norwich, the retail merchants of the city will again this year carry out the plan of Merchants Week which was tried for the first time with very grat- flying results last year.
 Primarily it is an effort to demon strate Norwich as the trading center of Eastern Connecticut. The Norwich merchants are satisfied that they can do this in the week from Saturday April "A to Saturday May 1st and also repeat the demonstration indefinitely through the year or any day that traders will visit their stores.
 For the Merchants Week plan the work this year has been carried out under an organization which included Frank J. King as general chairman and Herbert B. Cary as secretary.
 Working with them were the follow ing committees:
 Organization-John M. Lee, chair man; Herbert B. Cary, William c. Bode, c. M. Hutzlex. James c. Mac .pherson, Will L. Stearns Leo Kronig, Albert Boardman, Frank G. Aubrey and

houses as possible into the Merchants Week plan, the organization commit tee was the first to get to work after it had been decided to repeat this year what had been done year ago and as a result of their canvass of the retail business houes, ninety-f1ve were found who became subscribers to the Merchants Week plan. The organiza- ton committee was composed of John M. Lee, chairmaTf; Herbert B. Cary, William c. Bode, Charles M. Hutzler, James c. .MacPherson, Will L. Stearns, Leo Kronig, Albert Boardman, Frank G. Aubrey and M. H. Hourigan.
 The following are the firms at whose places of business the amount of pur- chases made by out of town customers will figure in giving the customer a rebate of his railroad fare, one way or both ways, according to the total of his purchases:

 The committee chairTnen with the general chairman and secretary form ed an executive committee.
 It is estimated that the 21 towns of New London county and the 15 towns of Windham county furnishing a con- tributing population of over 6O,000 and that a big proportion of all of these families represented will visit Norwich on one day or another of Merchants Week.
 For their visit the Norwich mer- chants will have their stores in their best garb, the clerks eager and at tentive to supply the wants of GUS toners and everything done to make the visitors feel glad that they have accepted the special invitation to come to the Business Hub of Eastern Con- necticut in the special Merchants Week.
 Norwich has a shopping district in which every feminine want can be supplied, with as great satisfaction to the customer as in the big metropoli- tan emporiums, which the meAehants who are enlisted in Merchantg Week represent so wide a variety of trades that want in any line remain unsupplied for the visitor. By day the Norwich stores make an inviting shopping center. in which it is a delight to do your purchasing while by night their brilliant lighting makes a rarely attractive display of their goods and among the stocks of all the 95 merchants who are enlisted 1 in Merchants Week every want in size, quantity or quality can be SUD- piled

of town visitors. There will be a vel come for all whether they come to be customers or not or whether their wis it's here result at the time in merely a very pleasant acquaintance which the Norwich merchants will be pleased to continue.
 But while the visitors are here the Norwich stores will be active and con- vincing in their determination to inn press upon the visitors that Norwich has no real competitor as a market and trading place for all the terri tory which this city, the largest in this section of the state, seeks to serve.
 Faro Rebate Plan.
 While the attractions furnished by Merchants Week will be numerous and varied, the main feature of the movement will be the relating of rail- road or trolley fares to those who come to town and whose purchases amount to enough to entitle them to such a rebate of fare, either one way or both ways. How this rebate can be secured is explained in Purchasers Certificate Book which has been gen. orally distributed in all towns in New London and Windham counties within radius of 40 miles of Norwich.

SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENT
 FOR MERCHANTS WEEK.
Begin With Automobile Parade on Opening Saturday Mornins-SpeciaI Matinees at Three Theatres on Other Days of the Week-Fire Department Demonstration on Wednesday.

When the visitors from the adjacent towns come here during Merchants Week, they will of course be particu- larly intent upon their shopping and trading plans, but 1t has been realized by the promoters of the plan that a little diversion by the way would not come amiss, so that the committee on municipal attractions has already ar ranged for something in that line on several different days and has further plans which it is expected will be ma tured and will be announced later.
 Automobile Parade.
 For Saturday morning, April 24th, the first day of Merehants' Week, the big attraction is to be the automobile parade, in which the committee is aim ing to have 15O machines in line, car rying a heavy passenger list of school children. The parade will start at 10.30 o'clock.
 This feature of the week has been put in the hands of the automobile committee, consisting of W. Russell Baird, chairman, Edward w. Jewett,

 their passengers, they will line up in
 Main street near the postoff1ce and
 from there take up the line of march,
 which it is expected will take them to

 well as through the business streets.
 The children will make the scene a.

 enjoy their ride in celebration of Nor
 wich Merchants Week.
 Special Theatre Tickets and Shows.
 The three theatres of the city have
 shown their willingness to cooperate
 in the attractions of Merchants Week
 by giving special matinee performances at 1.30 on three different afternoons to which the admission will be by a spe- cial ticket which will entitle the hold CT to admission to the theatre for five | cents instead of the usual price of ten cents.
 These special theatre tickets will be distributed by the merchants who are | subscribers to the Merchants Week plan and will be given not only to out of town visitors but to local persons | who patronize the stores during the week. Only the price of the show of fered by the theatres will be low, as | quality and quantity will all be there.

 in time so that people will have oppor- tuntty to arrange to see the depart ment work on Wednesday.
 These features of the week have been | worked out by the committee on mu- l nicipal attractions. which consists of William A. Somers, chairman, D, T. l Shea, Herbert M. Lerou, J. D. Hav- | Hand, s. Alpheus Gilbert, H. R. Wood | ward and s. B. Machette.

 This is the line of business enter prise which had its initial introduc ton to the Eastern Connecticut peo- pie last year and was so favorably thought of by the merchants of the city that when 1t was suggested to hold it again this year, the suggestion was taken up at once and the plans for its observance have been under way for the last few weeks.
