NICKEL AND BRASS co.
 GOING INTO MERCER. Will Be Part of Big New Corporation With Two New York Companies.

By about the first of June, it was stated on Wednesday evening by Ed win A. Tracy, president and general manager of the Norwich Nickel and Brass company, this company will be- come one of the three plants of a new corporation to be formed with a capi- talization of about $1000 900 or more. Details of the merger have not been fully worked out, but the preliminary negotiations have progressed so far that the formation of the new cor poration is assured.
 The new corporation will be known as J. R. Palmerberg & Son, Inc, of New York, and will include with the Norwich company the firm of J. R. Palmerberg of New York and the Kindlimann Form company, also of New York. These two companies manufacture the same general line of brass and nickel display and window fixtures as have been made for so many years by the Norwich company, which has been one of the leaders in this line in the United States and had market for it's goods that extended all over the world.
 Officers for the new company and other kindred details have not beer settled as yet, but MT. Tracy said that the metal part of the business would be kept here and the local factory or Thames street would do practically the same volume of business as it ha6 always done.
 The Norwich Nickel and Brass com pany has been one of the stable in dustrial concerns of the city for many years and it will be with satisfaction that the business men of the city learn that its entrance into the new corporation will not mean a change ol the removal of the factory from tht 1 city.

aWEAR YOUR RuTToNsy
And Show Your Liberty Posters for Parade Days, Says Committee Mem

What's the matter with Norwich people that they don't want to wear their Liberty loan buttons or put in their windows the Liberty loan posters that show when Liberty bond has been purchased by someone in that house?" said a member of the Liberty loan committee on Wednesday,
 We are running across a lot of people that will buy bond but don't want to put on the Liberty button, and in the same way there are many places where the target posters ought to be shown. This is particularly mo- ticeable in the stores along the busi- ness streets. Practically every store is entitled to show one of the target posters in it's window, but all you have to do to see how few they are is to walk along any street. Friday will be Liberty day, with the school children's parade, and I want to see every place that is entitled to do so have its Lib erty poster showing for the parade. Many of them could and should have the red bullseye to show 100 per cent. of subscriptions at that place.
 'Let us get out our flags, too, for l the parade and make the city wake up with a final resolution to put | Norwich over the top, far over, with 1 out any more delay

DON'T BE BALD
How to Make Hair Grow Strong, Thick and Lustrous on Thin Spots

How to Make Hair Grow Strong,
 Thick and Lustrous on Thin Spots
 Few of us get bald in day and we all have ample warning when our hair is thinning out.
 Parisian sage is a most efficient hair grower, but to immediately stop any further loss of hair and quickly start a new growth it must be rubbed into the scalp so the starved hair roots can really absorb it and get the vital stim- ulation so badly needed. You will surely be delighted with the first ap- plication for your hair and scalp will look and feel 100 per cent. better.
 Parisian sage is not expensive. It's a scientific preparation that supplies all hair needs-a clean, non-sticky, antiseptic liquid that is guaranteed to give you perfect satisfaction or money refunded. @
 Good looking hair is half the battle in any mans or woman's personal ap- pearance. Neglect gfncans dull, thin lifeless hair and finally badness, while a little attention now insuress thick and lustrous hair for years to come No matter what your hair sstroubles trysa a Parisian sage massage tonight you will rot be disappointed. Lee & Osgood Go. will supply you.
