WILSON LINE ADDING BOAT
 FOR SERVICE TO NORWICH

Announcement was made Sunday by Agent F. R. V. Knouse of the Wilson Line that the company had purchased a new boat which is to run between Nor wich and New York as soon as arrange ments can be made to place the boat in commission on the river
 The new boat which is constructed en- tlrely of steel is much larger than the Norland, which has taken care of local business since February The boat is equipped with twin propellors, aiad has two triple expansion engines. and is cap- able of making 14 knots an hour
 Since establishing the line in Febru- ary the Wilson Line has enjoyed a steadily increasing business which has encouraged them to give the Norwich business houses better service between here and New York. With this modern boat, of a larger tonnage, the company will be able to accommodate more shippers and as the boat is faster than the Nerland the service will be better
 The docking facilities at Central Wharf are also to be improved greatly for faster handling of freight for the satisfaction of the patrons of the line News that the Wilson Line to bet ter it's service will be received by all local shippers with pleasure. The Will son Line stand ready to better it's Ser vice whenever occasion requires and this first betterrnen of shipping facilities demonstrates that a boat line between Norwich and New York is needed, form | ing quick outlet for locally produced goods, and assuring fast delivery of out side goods consigned to local houses.
