 turing World. s@NNE

I nishing store. This exhibit Is rev. elation to the average person who is satisfied to dawdle through life with out seeing farther than the tip of his nose. It shows what variety of small but important articles is made by Traut & Hine and IS one of the answers to the question one hears when away from home: ''Why is New Britain called the Hardware City ?" a Peter Crona.
 Articles manufactured by Beaton 6 Caldwell are shown in a neat dis play in the window of Peter Crona's tonsoria1 establishment. These range from floor and ceiling plates to radia- tors and many different steam and boiler supplies are on exhibition.
 William H. Crowell.
 Products of the Corbin Cabinet Lock company in all their great var iety are on display at William Fl. CrowelPs rugstore. Articles made by this concern have probably helped as much as any to put New Britain lon the map" They can't be beat for ef- ficiency and as for being up to date in perfection, they are labeled April r, 1915.
 B. V. POTL&T SOILS.
 After a man has worked hard fin the shops all day helping to make things that are Made in New Britain" there is nothing more restful than an hours recline on a couch or bed made by the National Spring Bed company. If you don't believe that see the ex- hibit at B. c. Porter Sons house fur nishers It is an inviting display that actually makes one stretch and yawn and wish he could be a second Rip Van Wrinkle"
 John A. Andrews & Co.
 National Spring Bed company prod Ucts may be seen also at the house furnishing store of John A. Andrews & Company. Downy pillows and mat tresses that are guaranteed to drive away insomnia and springy springs that make the sleeper imagine he is in repose on cloud are shown here. Pleasant dreams are guaranteed by the National company whose spriEg beds and mattresses are the worst en- emy of the alarm clock.
 The Besse-LeIand Company.
 Parker shirts and American Hosiery company underwear and stockings are a combination on display at the Besse-Leland gentlem en's furnishing store. These lines prove that New Britain manufacturers have not put all their eggs in one basket It Is a far cry from hardware to shirts and underwear but this merely demon strates the wide field covered by in- vestors in this community. q The Bes- se-Leland display is particularly fat- froc If nf itc , ment and because all the goods shown are good goods. In other words they are Made in New Britain goods, which is synonymous with the best there is.
 The Curran Company.
 Thousands of men, women and children have gaZed in rapture into the window of the Curran company, dry goods merchants, where is shown a wonderful exhibition of beautiful hand painted china and pictures and tapestries. These are the handiworl1 of Rose l.. Mcintyre and her class and are almost priceless because of their association with hours spent at the pleasant occupation of painting. MT. Curran is proud of the exhibition and we'll be might be as it is one of the tastiest seen anywhere.
 RaclxIiffe Bros. O., Inc
 The world famous output of the Stanley Rule and Level company is on exhibition in the window of the Rackliffe Bros. Co.,, Inc, on Park street. Probably no New Britain made articles have helped more to establish the name of New Britain than the rules and levels made by this concern, one of the wealthlest in the city. The trade mark of the concern can be found on rules and levels used in Alaska and in India, and, in fact, in all quarters of the globe. They are made of selected stock by skilled well paid workmen and cannot be ex- celled by any concern outside of New Britain.
