DRAPER
CORPORATION

We desire to call to your attention
the stock of the Draper Corporation
as a conservative investment.
The plant of the Draper Corpora
ton at Hopedale, Mass, containing
some AZ acres of floor space is devoted
principally to the production of the
Northrop Loom. Through patents
on this Loom the company is pro-
tected for years to come. 1t is worth
nothing that the repair work alone
is probably more than sufficient to
pay the present rate of dividend. The
company hasa years supply of coal
on hand and has been given priority
on steel as it's product is extremely
essential They are booked at capac-
ity for a, year at present prices and
the contracts include non-cancella-
ton clauses.
Capital stock $175O0,OoO, no bonds
or preferred stock. 49,. @.a,
The average net earnings for 1915,
1916 and 1917 after all depreciation
on plant and after marking 100000
off the patent account, were more
than 1870 on the present capitaliza-
ton.
At the present time they own $4.-
100000 Liberty Bonds, a$750, 900
United Kingdom Bonds and $3.50, 700
other high grade first mortgage
bonds. They also have $1,000,000
set aside in a special fund which
will be invested in the next Govern
ment Loan. The company has been
in business for a great many years ami
furnishes approximately 5000 of all
Looms used in cotton mills. The
management is of the highest type
and very aggressive. The stock Is
essentially a peace stock and IL
seems very reasonable to expect that
it will have an advance of 20 to 80
points within a reasonable time and
in view of its present condition and
the future outlook it is generally ex-
pected that in the not distant future
some extra distribution will be made.
On October "a, 1919, the company
had liquid assets exceeding $40, 0O0,-
900. Total Indebtedness payable
October "a 1918 about $150,000
Dividends are being paid at the
rate of $50 per annum, January 1st
quarterly.
Subject to previous sale. we offer
a limited amount of the Draper Corr
poration Stock, to yield 1875 p. c.

Will burn WOOD
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Board Decides to Purchase Three
Carloads for Emergency

The fuel situation in the schools
of New Britain has become so seri-
Gus that the finance committee OF
the school board has decided to pur-
chase three carloads of wood in
Simsbury to be delivered at the
tracks in this city at 1926 q cord.
There are only about LOO tons of
coal on hand whereas there should
be about 1000 tons, and about one
fourth of what is now i'll the
schools is soft coal.
The schools use about 81 tons of
coal per week, and 1T is estimated
that there is Is weeks supply on
hand.
DR.. Joseph Walsh was appointed
medical inspector for the schools at
yesterdays meeting to fill the vacancy
left by the death of DIR. Edward S.
Grace.
L. H. Pease reported disbursenn ents
of $1,066.77 by the finance commit
tee. The committee ordered pay
ment of bills and discounts for
$6,S48.79.
Mr. Holmes reported that the at
tendance at the evening schools,
which was lowered by the epidemic,
is again becoming normal. He also
reported that in the public schools,
most of the absence is caused by
epidemic conditions and there are
very few cases of truancy.
During the month of September,
Miss Kiniry, the school nurse, made
70 visits to homes and IS to schools,
and during the month of October
she made As calls at homes and %
to schools.
The permission OF Adjutant Gen
eral Gorge NJ. Cole has been secured
to use the state armory for drills for
High school pupils The drills are
now being held there. The recon-
mendation that the drills be under
New Britain herald., 1918-11-09

barbed wire orders have been held up
within a few days or Cancelled, and
the production of such mills seems
likely to be turned into steel rails and
other necessary products 1t is rather
early to discuss reconstruction ten
denotes, but not a, few restrictions
could be safely removed with little de-
lay, such for instance as the censor
ship of mails and cables, also the
stringent regulation of exchange and
money. In the shipping trade where
restraints have been very onerous,
some easing up is also desirable in
order to assist the return of business
to more normal conditions.
On the Stock Exchange there was
much strength and activity throughout
the week. Prices touched the high
point of this peace movement, the
rise extending to nearly all issues,
though emphasized chiefly among
those which will benefit most by end
ing of the war. Speculation was
naturally restrained by limitations of
the money market and the rise was
largely due to the buying of investors
and the scarcity of many issues. Prices
have now had a very considerable rise.
The market may go still higher under
events At the same time there has
been considerable liquidation of high
priced securities, which partially
checked their advance. This was par
ticularly the case in Government
issues, which while strong did not
score any decided advances because
of selling to lessen the load of the
largest holders. The same feature was
observable in the London market,
where advantage was taken of the op-
portunity to distribute Government
issues more extensively. We are evil
IDENTIFY entering Il period of wider
fluctuations. 1t does not seem prob
able that the high point has been
reached, but reactions will be more
frequent as profit-ta king inducements
multiply The new foreign situation
must become an important factor, and
all indications point to Il period of
serious unrest in the broken Central
Powers. We will probably be obliged
to lend considerable sums abroad
during the next twelve months, and
the question of terms is already in
teresting bankers over here.

BOY SCOUT
NEWS

One of the most interesting con-
tests In the history of the New Brit
ain Boy Scouts was held on the
grounds adjoining the New Britain
Boys club between Troop Of this
city and Troop % of Hartford before
an audience of nearly 200 among
which was a, delegation of Woodcraft
girls from Hartford in charge Of Mrs.
Greasy, who came to cheer for the
visiting team.
The contest was holly contested
from the start and the final score OF
S5 for Troop % to So for Troop was
no discredit to the home team.
The scouts held the meet under
the auspices Of the New. Britain Boys
club whose manager Mr.. M. r.
Cook directed the entertainment of
the visitors at the close or the con-
test and served refreshments to the
entire party.
The Boys Club band added con-
siderably to the enjoyment of the oc-
/casion by rendering number OF
selections in a. manner which re-
f1ected the efficiency of the young
musicians.
The contest was originated by a
challenge from Troop % by its Scout
master Arthur l.. Brown, who is
secretary Of the New Britain Branch
of the Manufacturers association, in
a conference whit Scout Executive
Fobian e. Johnson of the local
headquarters and who Is in charge OF
Troop 4,
Troop 4 is the headquarters troop
and holds this enviable position
through it's powers in local contests,
having won three cups and a
81 fnI1
and last nights defeat was the first
in it's history. 1t has a. membership
Of thirty-six scouts while Troop % is
but one-third a. large and has never
taken an active part in contest work.
Although the excitement OF last
evening threatened to deplete the
ranks both parties Showed up lii
full strength.
A return meet is to be arranged
to give the local boys a chance TO
even things up and will be anticipated
with interest
This is the first time a Hartford
troop has been out of it's own coun-
Gil and the first time a New Britain
troop has met one from another
city.

lows:

mission merchants, has returned from
the west. He has been in California
and Arizona since before the melon
season opened in California several
weeks ago. He will be here now dur
ing the balance of the season to han
die the melon crop of this district.
California growers came out well
this year. The cf=s. was good and
the prices held up well during the
season. The growers in Arizona like
wise did well on their crop and the
prospects are good for the Colorado
crop.
