New Britain herald., 1921-06-06
Please read this open Letter addressed to all of the people of New Britain, and vicinity whose good will and confidence, prize, more highly than anything
 in the world outside of my family .

You know that Jim Con- nors, of Bridgeport, and 1 have been associated III busl- ness since 1917.
 l want you to know now what we have decided to do.
 If you approve then 1 want my friends in New Britain and vicinity to join us as partners in a new company, which will take over the Con- nors Stores, in Bridgeport and Hartford, and the Con- nors-Halloran Store here in New Britain, which as you all know is The Main Store on the Main Street, in this hustling prosperous com munity.
 1 have reason to believe that the people of New Brit ain and surrounding terri tory know me pretty we'll. They have certainly con- ferred many honors on me, which 1 hope deserve.
 l have lived among you, for 4 years q am Al years oldl, and 1 appreciate to the full the support you have al- ways given me.
 But 1 want to say to you, in all frankness, that my as- sociation with Jim Connors and others, now a part of the new corporation has given me a new vision as to what l can do for my friends in this section of Connecti- cut.
 It is fine to be tied up in a business way with a man of the Jim Connors" type who is known all over the state, as young man of fine character and fine principles - live-Wire-business man, with ideals as to how business shall be conducted, and who has the strength of char acter and the integrity of purpose to carry out these ideals.
 It is a personal gratihca- tion to me to be part owner in the new enterprise which will operate under thee name of Connors-Halloran Stores, Inc.
 This new company is plan ming "big things" To plan big things is nothing new to Jim Connors.' Further more, whatever "Jim' plans be goes through with.
 Jim Connors has written an open letter to the people of Bridgeport who know and like him-who recognize his ability-who appreciate his integrity.
 l am taking the liberty of quoting from his letter be- cause what he says applies to what l want to say to you. As follows:

I pledge myself to faith fully look after the interest of all people in New Britain and vicinity who invest in the preferred stock, of our new company. will go as far as Jim Connors' will and approve every word, ~ that 'Jim' says in his letter to the people of Bridgeport and vicinity.
 'Jim Connors' Letter.
 "Now, at the age of 31, I am eager to establish chain of stores in 27 more thriving communities, in Connecti- cut.
 q can do so with your help.
 You can help by buying Preferred Stock at S1O the share, in the new company, to be known as the Connors- HaIloran Stores, Inc. which are taking over the Connors Stores in Bridgeport and Hartford, and the Connors- Halloran Store in New Brit ain. ~
 "The new company is au- thorized by it's charter to is- sue 100000 shares of Pre- ferred Stock, to yield 8To an- nually on the cumulative plan, also to issue 5O,OOO shares of Common Stock, par value S1O the share.
 Our plan, in brief is as follows:
 We will establish more stores in groups of three as soon as we can. All the money invested in our Pre- ferred Stock will be used in opening new stores.
 We are taking for our selves 3O,OOO shares of Con- mon Stock, in exchange for the assets we have accumu- lated during the years, we have been in business, which include all stocks and fix lures, in our four stores, the valuable leases we hold, and the good will we feel we have earned.
 We will not attempt to sell all of the Preferred Saock at once, we could not use ali of the money, if we had if. It takes good business judge ment, considerable time, and a lot of work to establish 2 new stores. c We will follow sound bus mess methods in opening new stores.
 At the start we will need to sell only 25,OOO shares of Preferred Stock. Joe Hal loran and l believe that the people of New Britain and Bridgeport, who know Us we'll, will buy this number of
New Britain herald., 1921-06-06

shares, and let us have the money we need to go ahead with our plans.
