FIFTY YEARS IN
 EMPLOY OFL. F. (.
James SCanlon Presented With Gold Notwithstanding Review

In recognition Of fifty years faith ful service in the employ of Landers. Frary x Clarl1's James J. Scanlon of a1 Olive street, was presented with a handsome gold watch as q token of appreciation, yesterday afternoon. The presentation was made by Vice President Kiuball in the presence of a number of the officials of the fac- tory and foremen of departmen ents. Members of the Universal club were also present. The club presented Mr. Scanlon with a handsome bouquet of flowers
 MT. Scanlon entered the employ of Landers, Frary & Clark April 12 1868, and worked for thirty five years as moulder. That work became to laborious and exhausting for him and he became gateman at the Center street entrance. During his fifty years at the factory he served under five presidents four superintendents and five foremen. All the men em- ployed at the foundry when MT. Scan lon went to work there have died. For number of years the company's finished products consisted of table cutlery, family scales. molasscs. oil and water faucets hat hooks, ink stands, bed and furniture castors and bright iron hooks, few of which ar ticles arc now being made at the fac tory. The main building of the hard ware works, known as the old shop was a thrce-stOry structure. Tn 1904 this building was enlarged by the ad- dition of two stories. The cutlery building was on Center street The main office was then located in a frame building on the west side of Center street and was purchased sev- eral years ago by the late William Hanna. MT. Scanlon recalls the days when there were no telephones cleo tr1c lights or other present day i'm nrovements. He also recollects the early development of the ' municipal government. In a converse ton he re- mem nbered the panic of 1873 and the opening of soup houses on Church street in this city. Having passed through those days of hardship and suffering he feels that any man who would take advantage of the present prosperous conditions to cause un- rest will live to regret it, MT. Scan lon was reminded that the trunk sew CT out Hartford avenue way was built In 1874 and the laborers received IS cents an hour and were glad to get it. Cutlery Fire in 1871.
 In his "reminiscences MT. Scanlon recalled the cutlery fire of March 23, 1874 and he describes it as the worst
New Britain herald., 1918-04-13

MT. Scanlon was born in Ennis County. Ireland, in 1884. Emierat~ ing to this country in September, 18G5, he went to work on a planta tion on Hog Island, in the James River, between Petersburg and Rich mond, Va. In March, 1866 he went to St Louis and worked on a Mis- sissippi river boat plying between St. Louis and Cairo, III. Returning to the east he worked for the Warner oil Refining Co.,, at Hunter Point, l. l.. for few months He came to New Britain in 1868. MT. Scanlon was married July 12, 1862 at Col Nnsville to Margaret Lambert. Eleven children were born to MT. and Mrs Scanlon, eight of whom are now liv- .ag. They are, Mrs. Joseph Fttzger- ald. Mrs Otto Bauer, Mrs. Josoph Coffee. Mrs. Peter Kelly of Long Island, Mrs. Frank kenney, and the Misses Lucy and Catherine Scanton and Peter Scanlon. MT Scanlon's s wife died June 10, 1910.

fire in the history of New Britain. There was a high wind that night and it blew at the rate of 30 miles an hour carrying sparks and emloers over a mile. Although fire departments of Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury and Meriden responded with help the building was totally destroyed. At the time James D. Frary. one of the firm, was said to have offered to bet $1,000 that within three months a factory would be operating on the site of the one then destroyed. "If he made that bet he won, as the building was completed within the specified time,' said MT. Scanlon.
 Mir. Scanlon recalled that Charles Mccarthy, now a member of the po- lice force. made the first food chop per, which is now an important part Of the companys products, in 1897. His keen memory recalls the intro auction of the various lines of the Universal products. A visit to the city by a resident of fifty years ago would, in MT. Scanlons opinion, be a big treat. The visitor would be astonished at the developments of the period. With much pride Mir. Scanlon pointed to the big buildings and spoke of the modern features of the factory organization. In his rec ollections he regarded as most impor- tant features the mutual aid associa - ion, the factory hospital, the spacious dining rooms and recreation parlors, and the cooperative store "A grac- ious act' is his description of the company's pension and old age due entirely to the zeal and competencv of

We are buying Liberty Bonds, Thrift and Savings Stamps, contributing to the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Y. w. C. A. We are working, sewing, knitting, making bandages and dressings of all kinds, We are saving in food and ,n other ways. And if you need it, you can have our last dollar and last bit of energy to help you to put it scross.
 We are praying for you Regu- Iarly each Sunday morning and Thursday evening we are offering our prayers in the church for you. But we are remembering you at other 
 every morning your minister and his faniIy---and in our privat te devottons, we are asking God to protect and keep you in all your experiences, to make you loyal, brave, to guard you from temptation, and to help you through danger
 And we are looking for you. We miss you but we are content for we know you are away. But we shall look for your return after you have made 9 success of the "great ad- venture" Don't come back until you've done a thorough job.
