 ' The purchase Qf' the Meriden Cut lery company plant, located in South Meriden, by a New Britain manufac- turing firm is being negotiated, it is reported, The New Britain Machine company is mention as the contem- plated buyers. President F. G. Platt of the New Britain Machine company, today, refused to discuss the matter. In view of the fact that the New Britain Machine company has noth- ing in common in the manufactur- ing line that would make the Meriden Cutlery pIant.-dasiral5lo for them, it ssis doubted if that firm is making the Epurchase l.. F. tS (. Co. May Buy ,s
 The more likely purchasers would be Landers, Frary &, Clark. Officials of Landers, Frary x Clark were in- Interviewed and declined to discuss the subject. A published account of the rumored sale of the Meriden Cut lery Company is as follows:
 "The New Britain Machine. come pany, one of the live industries of !. that city. has made through it's president Frederick c, PTatt a soroposition to the stockholders of the Meriden Cutlery company. to purchase their stock and take over the South Meridem plant The deal, which has been in the works for some time. has not as yet been com pleted as all the stockholders h,ve not yet been seen and not enough of; them have given options to give the control of the New Bitain can cern. If the deal goes through, as seems likely, all the stockholders in the locaI business will be given an opportunity to sell at the fixed price offered for all the shares.
 ''An attempt was made by The 4 Journal (Meriden) to secure a state anent from MT. Platt, but as the deal had not been completed and as he was not altogether sure that it would be, he would not make any statement whatever. He would not saw even if his company should take over the business what would be done here, whether the present lines would he continued or whether munitions work or something else would be manufa ctured
 Deal Seems Certain.
 Tt seems quite certain that the deal will be completed as quite a, large , portion of the stockholders of the Cutlery company have agreed to Sell at Mir. Platt's figure and when that is generally known it is thought that. most of the others will agree ton the same. terms.
 Meriden Firm Is Old One.
 "The Meriden Cutlery company was at one time one of the most successful cutlery concerns in the Emitted States, but of late years it hassnot been as aggressive in it's -ef- .s forts as 1t used to be and the busi- ness has. not been so large. Even the change of management did not bring the results that were expected
 "The plant is a good one and tho product is still high grade so it is believe, that the business can be made an eminently successful one under new management.

Drawing Lots for a Wife.

I love the way they once faced the
grim realities of life and fought fire
with fire. Marriage was a lottery so
they settled it by lot. The way of a
man with a maid might upset the cal
culations of the wise man in Proverbs,
but it didn't feazc the early Moravians.
They got out the lot bowl, put the
names in; prayed that the drawing
would be providentially guided, and
went ahead in faith. And those mar
riages so arranged were such successes
that one is almost tempted to wish for
a return of the custom, in disuse now
for many a year.-Exchange.
