| \ rlnOr has been Circulat ed that | a shirt waist factory will soon locate ! in plainViIlc The report bCcam . 1 current several weeks ago Wh II l agents of H New York company vi.s- tied this town and inspected the old Newton repository on Whiting street. The representatives made several visits to PlainViIlc, but without re- suits, it is said. They seemed to be disappointed when an offer to rent the repository was refused and they CVinccd a desire to obtain other quarters in town.
 Since that time the Newton reposi- tory has hcCn sold to F.. k. Higbee of Bristol II was reported that Mir. 1Iisbce intended to remodel the building, using the first floor for e store and the upper story for a motion picture house.
