Was Formerly in Business in Putnam
 and We'll Known Here

Earl C. Bohanon, who for mum. Der of years conducted the shoe store at the corner of Front and Elm streets, now Bugbee's shoe department, is now in business in Cleveland. That he hns been successful in the middle west the following that recently appeared in trade magazine will show:
 IA larger number of establishments devoted to the soda fountain industry have been started in Cleveland, Ohio, during August, than during my isimi- lar period in that city.
 One of the newest places in opera ton k Bohanon and Haines, formerly located in the Colonial Arcade at Pros pect avenue, and now in larger quar- iere at r and 19 Colonial Arcade. Here are two floors given over to the aceo modation of the discriminating pub he that demands cleanliness and ser vice in it's soda fountain delieacies.
 In conjunction with this are the luncheoneite and bakery departments, which combine to draw trade To the soda fountain department. Although this firm once made its own ice creams, 1t now uses the commercial grades, more for convenience than anything is borne out by leading retailers, that the commercial ice creams Of Cleve- land are of high grade, even higher than elsew where, this probably being accounted for by the fact that there Is such keen competition between the two largest manufacturers in'this city, which have between them practically all of the business.
 In the new establishment there are twenty.four tables seating four per sons each, and part Of the room Is de- voted to a lattice grotto, occupying a platform raised one foot above the main floor. Everything in outside equipment'is of mahogany. The in- veried lighting system Is pleasing part of the decorative scheme. Electric fans help to keep customers cool. John E. HMnes and k. C. Bohanon are the proprietors."
 MT. Bohanons first wife was Miss Helen Alton of Putnam. After her death he married Miss Jennie Smith of Norwich, who formerly lived in Putnam where her father, B. G, smith, conducted the grocery store now owned by l., T. Tucker.
 MT. Bohanon's sons, Paul and Jer' ome, were visitors in Pomfret this summer and called on Putnam friends
