JOBS FOR FIGHTERS
Company Prints Promise That Place
and Welcome Await Their Sol
diers on Their Return.

In view of the nents expressed
in the December issue of the "Uni-
Versal Mirror" which has just been
published, it is apparent that EN-
ployes of Landers, Frary &. Clark
are not likely to be forgotten when
they return from the service. Some
of the photographs taken on Armi-
stice day are used as q. background
for a statement from the officials Of
the factory, to the men in the serv-
ice. The statement, which follows, is
self explanatory:
ITO L. r. & G. men in the service,
Greetings and congratulations. In
the happy hour of victory we wish to
confirm the general understanding be-
tween us when war was declared,
that a place is ready and a welcome
awaits each of you upon your return
Much has been done by factories
about the city in the way of planning
for the return of soldiers, but this is
the first instance of a. repetition of
the unwrtten pledge given the men
upon the entrance OF the United
States into the war. This factory has
as large a percenta ge of their male
employees In the service as any other
factory in the city. Tablets upon
which the names of those entering
the service have been inscribed, have
been placed at the entrance to the
administration building.

A. A. MILLS BUYS BIG
PIECE OF PROPERTY
West Main Street Business Man Ac-
quires Afford Place ON Court
Street--WilI Build at Once.

Another large central realty deal
has been consummated whereby A. A.
Mills, a well known business man,
has purchased the Frank H. Afford
property on Court street.
This deal is particularly important
since it gives to Mr.. Mills an un-
broken piece Of property, fronting on
West Main street, extending away
back to Court street. This piece of
property, located so admirably in the
very heart of the city, is unusually
desirable and Mr., Mills plans to de-
velop it extensively.
Among other things, Mr.. Mills plans
to soon erect a large factory building
in the rear of his West Main street
stove, plumbing and hardware store.
During the past few years his busi-
ness has increased to such an extent
that this factory is necessary if he
is to continue to expand.
Just what ultimate disposition will
be made of the Afford hom estead has
not been decided, but Mr.. Mills thinks
that eventually he will raze the build
ing and replace it with a modern
business structure.
