HANSON FUNERAL TODAY
Advent Church Christmas Tree Cele- bration Tonight-Legion Contest Ends Tomorrow-Methodist Cele- bration-Marriage License.

The Whiting street garage, gener- ally known as the Mack garage, has been sold. Edward Root of Southing- ton, was the former owner and has transferred the entire business, to George Bloodgood and Frank Ber- thieume. MT. Bloodgood is resi- dent of Plainville. while his partner comes from Bristol. The deal i'm wolves the gartge and automobile bus mess only. James J. McNally owns the building which the garage is To- cated in and leased it to MT. Root. The new owners have secured a lease on it for one year. The present own CTS will conduct the business on a larger scale than before and will en- deavor to cover larger field in the repairing line. Both have had con- siderable experience in the automo- bile trade and are expert mechanics. Mir. Berthieume had formerly worked for the Moran garage at Bristol, as well as the Steele garage Mir. Blood good learned the business with the Bence Auto Sales company of New Britain where he had lived for some time.
 A full and complete line of auto mobile accessories will be carried while a large stock of tires will be found at the garage. Gasoline tanks for filling purposes are at the sta- ton. The garage is situated in an ideal place as there is heavy traffic constantly MT. Root found business very encouraging during the time he had it, He has made no plans for the future, but will probably start an- other garage of his own soon. The new owners are confident of a good portion of the local trade.

 Christmas Seals Report.
 The Christmas seals for the relief or the Tuberculosis patients, have been selling at a good rate in the town, and reports given by John Lamb, who is at the head of the local sale, show a marked increase over last years sale. Tho school childten alone, under the direction of Principal Orrin l.. Judd have done we'll towards selling and a total of more than $100 has been realized from their efforts It is esti- mated, to date, that there has been about $270 worth of seals sold. A final report will be given within a day or so. All proceeds of the sale will be used entirely for the local tuberculosis relief. This will aid greatly in reduc- ing the expenses of the local Red Cross branch and the Visiting Nurse Sta ton. The people have responded splendidly to the urgent need of this drive, and packages sent out, give a silent message of this fact as they are practically covered with the Red Cross seals.
