GEORGE S. FULLER TO
RETIRE FROM BUSINESS
After Forty-Three Years Of Active
Service, But Will Continue Con-
nections With the Banks.

The people of this community and
surrounding towns will learn with re-!
greet of the fact that George s. Fuller
is planning to retire from the hardware
business. For forty three years Mr..
Fuller has been actively identified
" 18th one of the oldest business insti.
tutions in this neighbo' hood and has
had most successful career in the
general store and hardware business.
Mr.. Fuller entered the employ or
Fuller e Peet in their general store on
March LIST, 1875 and during the forty
three years which have elapsed since
that time, Mr.. Fuller has always been
found on the job. The senior member
of the firm of Fuller & Peet, which
was established in 1856, was an uncle
to George s. Fuller, under whom he
learned the general store business. In
1897 the store was sold to jackson &
Eggleston, with the exception of the
hardware department., which was re-
tanned. Jackson & Egglestnn later sold
their business and the store is now
known as the Canaan Mercantile Co..
In 1906 Mr. Fuller built the block
where the business ia now conducted
and partly occupied by the Canaan
National Bank. On the death Of Mr..
Peet in 1904, Mr.. Fuller acquired the
entire interest of the company and five
years later, in 1909, the business was
incorporated and the firm name
changed to the Fuller Hardware Com
pany. --
Mr.. Fuller will continue to act as
the presidential the Can an Savings
Bank and the Canaan National Bank,
dividing the greater part of his time
between the two places. In the store
Mr. Fuller's interest las been acquired
by his brother, Robert 7. Fuller OF
Chicago, who has been an expert credit
manager for Swift & Company, and
Fuller & Fuller, wholesale druggists.
Mr.. Fuller will shortly move his
family to this place. -E.

These Directions Must Be Followed
When Knitting Socks.

Socks that are knitted for the Red
Gross must be made according to the
following proportions.
CAST on So stitches. Rib for Al inches.
Reduce to so stitches. Knit plain for
81 inches, making the leg measure ia
inches long. 10 inches around. Knit
heel full 3 inches. Knit plain Al
inches. Foot from end of heel to tip of
toe must be liz full inches. Toe must
be finished with no ridge or seam.
Socks must be washed, pressed and
tied in pairs.
This is the smallest stock desired.
Profting from experience and knowl-
edge of those men who tell us that
large size socks are absolutely essential
as they shrink and often are worn two
pairs at time, the Red Cross will be
saved time, expense and trouble from
raveling and reknitting if these direc.
tions be exactly followed.
