That the Prentice Manufacturing

 prosperous period in it's history was evidenced by the reports presented at
 It's annual meeting held yesterday aft
 ernoon. The fiscal year for the com
 pany ended yesterday. Fer the past ffx-4nonths the company has done the
 largest business in it's history Dur
 ing the first part of 1915, the Prem tfce con1arn was doing only an Ordin-
 arys business, but since August it has
 been rushed with orders. So great
 was this rush that a branch establish
 ment was placed on North street, New
 Britain. It had been noised about for
 some time that the company would
 declare it's first dividend at the annual
 meeting, but the directors decided that the company would benefit more if the surplus acquired during the past year . was used in improving the equipment
 and this was accordingly voted by the directors present. The branch factory } in New Britain has been so successful that the concern is seriously contem- plating the running of more branches and it is probable the locations will D" ann6unced in the near future.
