RECORD DREAMING YEAR IN
 NORWICH BANK TRANsAcTIoNs
RECORI

Norwich banks, savings and national, report a busy year in 1920 and one in which they have been able to do business along prosperous lines. Their resources. too, have been devoted almost exclusively to local interests and there has been lit- tie occasion to look for outside use for their money
 National and savings banks which represent over s35,00o.00 in banking capital have used these resources for the local commercial and industrial field. With call money at the rate of 6 and per cent, and possibly in some extreme cases at per cent The banks have been able to extend accommodation to their customers through rediscounting at the federal reserve bank and naturally the banks customers have paid for this extra expense in doing bushes. It was profit able year for banks and they have been able to strengthen their resources and re- ward their clerks with bonuses. The total transactions of the national banks. which were {3o2.7e7.s3s in 1919, reached the figures of S371.255.1s7 in 1920. The lessons of economy and thrift which were preached in the war years seem to have continued to bear fruit which is evident in the records of the savings banks. which show gains in de- 1 posits during the past year Dividend rates have been maintained at per cent. which Norwich bankers look upon as tho safe and conservative course. and thu community and the surrounding territorJ
 have experienced the heipfuiness of tn Norwich savings banks in accepting even application Tor loans which good bnsinesI | judgment has pronounced acceptable When the year 1919 closed the Norwicl savings banks had on deposit s51.sss. .o53. IA At the end of 1a10 fhta ~o I ;35.2so.725.os.
 So far as the Norwich bankers hav
 been able to judge. there has been com
 paratively few Norwich people who hay
 sold their Liberty bonds unlees-they hai
 to do so. On the contrary. many seer to have invested in these giif-sdetd gov
 ernment securities and the banks hay
 accepted the bonds as the best kind O
 securities for loans.

BULLETINS CALENDAR FOR 1921
 PICTURES OLD NORWICH POTTERY
Unique Historical Link With Norwich of Nearly Century Ago-Business Conducted on Cove Street For AS Years by Sidney Risley and His Son George-OId Brick KIns Now Torn Down to Make Way For Other Business.

The old Norwich pottery that once stood on Cove street makes the picture for The Bulletins calendar for 1921. a link with the long ago in the early part of the last century.
 The old brick kiln on Cove street, op- posite the foot of North High street, which is shown on the calendar, is well remembered by the older and middle-aged residents of Norwich, but there will be many of the later generations who will learn with surprise of this once busy Norwich industry that was established around S5 years ago and ran for close to so years. According to the real estate records of the town the age of the pottery is established at around 80 to S5 years, and this is confirmed by the recollection of some of the older residents who re- member the pottery as a comparatively new building when when they were boys 70 years ago.
 Founded by Sidney Risley.
 For the first 45 years, from the time the pottery was established by Sidney Risley. probably about 1886, the name of Risley, father and son, was associated with the pottery, but after the death of the son, George L. Risley, who was killed in boiler explosion at the pottery on the day before Christmas, 1881, several other proprietors conducted it until 1895, wher the business was given up. At the present time all vestige of the old pottery and it's brick kilns has disappeared. What was left of the kilns was torn down in 1900 by Charles Slosberg to make place for the grain and feed business which he was running on the old pottery site. The old brick was thrown into hole in the lot and new building was erected ovel | it by MT. Slosberg, who has one of hi, warehouses on the old pottery site.

 As was to be expected Srom the com plete loss Of the big Marlin Rockwell factory from the roster of Norwich in- dustries, the line of firearms and cut iery manlzfaoturers had considerably smaller figures for .1ss0 than in 1s1s- The number of employees at these factories dropped from 2.s2s in 1919 to about 42s 1920 wages from $1.14s,131 to $565,0o9 and product yalne from ss,5ss,soo to S1,o51, ,oo0.

Norwich. New London, Willimantic, Putnam and Danielson, with all the sur rounding territory int New London and Windhafm counties, were riding on the crest of the wave of big business in 1919, still carried along by the impetus of the demands made upon their indus .ries by the war years. The wave carried along into the first half of 1920, but since then there has been receding tide, that has put many mills and factories on short ened time, cut down payrolls and de- creaeed volume of business but notwith- standing this a wonderful increase in Norwich bank busineRs has bettered the total of 1919.
 The summary of business operations for 1920 made by The Bulletin from fig tires of the manufacturing. banking and $obbirg lines in New London and Wind ham counties give grand total for east ern Connecticut of $1,214,S27,353, in 1919 the figure was s1,1s4.4ss, ,s79, which broke all former records. In 1918, when the wartime drive was beginning to be felt the figures were $975, ,244,353. a rec ord up to that time
 New London county furnished in 1920 the sum of $s13,746,151 to the grand to- tai where it had given $SS4,340,s4I in 1s1s, while Windham coun.y's business total in 1920 was $so1, ,0S1. .202, comparing with sS2o12T,s3s in 1919.
 In general it may be stated that cotton mills showed substantially less business In 1920 than in 1919, although there were individual instances where gains were shown woolen mills generally fell off but manufacturers of paper products gained. Shipwork fell off. but gafiz were shown in foundry and iron work silk and velvet were textile lines in which there was varied record rof in orsases and losses. Building and con struction work showed lesser figures in the year just past.

d so much of an effect in the past year as to reduce the figures of the years man1dar1uring business to a lower point than the year before In fact the figures returned from the various in- dustries show something of a gain in the aggregate although there were lines in which there were substantial reductions. but these were more than made up in other lines.
 Cotton mills, paper and betting, silk and velvet mills, foundry, iron work anu metal goods, were lines which showed better figures, while woolen mills and firearms plants fell off, the latter being expected because of the removal of the Marlin-R Rockwell firearms factory.
 Total payroIls in the past year have reached $s,s22.s7s where they were $y.-
 2S5,240 the year lefore. bg value of product has changed from s41.400, ,66p in 1919 to $4o,75s.14e in 1920, The report of total number employees dropped from
 9,T34 in 1919 to 7,826 in 1920.
 In the several cotton mills of the town, employing about 2,550z the wage disbursement in 1919 was $2,61s.s52 ana product value S13,o70,o ,o00. These items showed $3,o23,59O and $12,1so.eoo re- speotiveiy in 1920. In the more than half dozen woolen mills with 1.4z3 em-
 ployes. the wage account for 1920 stood
 at $1,22o, 900 and production at Ss,25e,- 900, as compared with s1,s42.000 and $7,920,000 in 1919.
 Silk and velvet mills are another i'm portant line of textile manufactures in the town, having given employment to 1,oS5 men and women in the past year to whom they paid FS1,256, ,sso in wages
 as against $Ss1.007 in 1919, while pro

The body of water shown in the calen- dar picture was an arm of Yantic cove that reached up to this point and gave the street where the pottery was located its name. The cove was filled in when the New London, Willimantic and Palmer railroad was built, and its successor, the New London Northern railroad, bought the pottery property from Mrs. George L. Risley, May s. 1882, the next year after her husbands death. What was known as .Loomis brook emp tied into the cove about this point, but this also has disappeared from view since it was taken over by the city as a sewer between 1876 and ISIS and cufvert built over 1t. The brook, which is now a pipe and culvert sewer for almost it's entire length, starts in the low land back of Persons barn on West Main street, flows down across Asylum street and under the Otis store building on West Main street, crosses West Main street here and flows down back of the silk mill property to Stockwell's lane. then turning to the north and running down across West Main street near the West Main street fire station and into the cove.
