Speaking on 1.-THE Future of the
Republican Party" Charles w. Fair
banks asserted: "If we meet present
duty in an intelligent, manly and
courageous way, we need not be
greatly disturbed about the future. :"
A prediction that "the American
republic will be the sought-for arbi-
ter of the disputes of nations in the
new century, was made by Albert
j. Beveridge in a talk on 1.-THE TWEEN

I'VE do not detract from the

Expenditure High
Under the original plans, the new
clubhouse was to cost $4,000, and
III ashings $4,000. However, in Or
de9Pto make the building one of
which the club members might truly
be proud. the expenditure far exceed
ed this amount, reaching s195, 1882
for the building and decorations.
From time to time, to meet the
needs of a growing membership, i'm
provements were made. Elaborate
alterations were made in 1907, and
in 1908 and 1909 expenditures on the
building totaled $36,297.
An unwritten rule of presidents
of the club to serve only one term
was broken in 1909, when Frank
Van Camp was induced to accept a
second term, after an unusually sue
cessful administration.
TTpdaY T,uoi11c HayoiJtOy,
president, the club in 1915 launched
an ambitious membership campaign,
which resulted in it's obtaining 633
new members In four weeks and be-
coming the largest Republican club
in the Middle West, with about 800
more members than the Hamilton
Club of Chicago.
Roosevelt Entertained
The Columbia Club was active in
entertaining President Theodore

In merchandising displays as the
window trimming contest just
closed. The contest was conducted
under the auspices Of the Chamber
Of Commerce and was the outcome
Of Il pilgrimage made by a group of
local merchants to the Edison Lamp
Co. plant at Harrison, n. j., last
August.
Thirty-one merchants trimmed Al
windows which were entered in an
elimination contest. Ten qualified In
the Examinations and competed for
the three best.
The ten who finally were left
after the other 81 windows were
eliminated included the b. C. Por-
ter window, Meshkin's, Porter and
Dyson, Outlet Millinery Co. A. N
Volz, Ashley abcock. Connecticut
Light Co., Dickinson Drug Co.. Bes-

Much thought and care was used
and considerable expense gone to in
an effort to give New Britain Fifth

would have done credit to Wanna
maker or Macy or a Gimbel
hloomed forth almost as If by
magic. Fall wearing apparel from
the type which reaches the pocket
Of the working man to that which
millionaires might appreciate show
ed up in windows. Draperies of
> blue and green and gold and vel
vet, cut glass and gold and silver
vases and candlesticks, some OF
them imported from Oriental coun-
tries were used In decorative
schemes. Even natural flowers were
used In at least two cases.
Drawing power or merchandising
influence of the windows was great,
: ly enhanced according to those who
were supposed to know and the
general opinion was that the con-
test was a success from stand
T point Of business as we'll as an ar
,istic success with just a little Of
the sporting essence thrown in.
An unforeseen result Of the con
, test was the gift to the Chamber Of
Commerce Of the first prize money

The johnson e Peterson studio
was commissioned by the Chamber
OF Commerce to photograph the
windows entered in the window
trimming contest. Excellent results
We're obtained as the photos show.
Time exposures were taken at night
and 1t is interesting to note that
hundreds Of people passed back and
forth between the lens and the win
doWs without registering on the
plate. Many even stopped to gaze
in the windows while the pictures
were being taken. The Johnson and
Peterson studio has been commend
ed on all sides from the merchants
IN the contest on their excellent
work.

Of the trip to Harrison. N. j.. with

NEW ERA in MERCHANDISING OPENS THROUGH
WINDOW BEAUTIFYING CONTEST HELD HERE

because the windows in the main
were very artistically done and had
a great appeal, However. after very
careful thought and a complete
study OF each window, the judges
determined on the following list of
ten names as being the best OF the
Al.
These ten were either to be re-
trimmed or their display allowed TO
remain as they were. Many, be-
cause of the keen competition, re-
trimmed their windows with very
great care. and in doing so made
the problem of decision a great
deal more difficult.
l. In order to be absolutely fair and
TO give each window the best pos
sible Judgment, it was deemed ad-
visable to retain an expert window
trimmer from an outside city in
order that his judgment might be
entirely unbiased. After consider
able thought, Mr.. A. w, Fink was
selected from Steiger's store in
Hartford. For a time in the final
judging Of these windows, which
took place last Thursday. a tie eX-
listed which was only broken after
Mr.. Fink had given his expert opin-
ion.
Every Detail Considered
The kceuness of this competition
can best be illustrated by the con-
sideration given every detail In the
windows judged. In one window,
faded material had been used
which Aused the immediate elimi-
nation of this window. 1t was
through no fault Of the display man
nor the store that the trimming had
/ been faded but was q direct result
of strong sunlight and greatly in-
pcded the value Of the window.

agencies in the decoration and had
become faded necessarily lessened

SUMMER GOOD
TINE TO Have
FURNACE FIXED
Charles GoIdstein Says
Work Receives More
Care.

Whoever it was who said, "In time
Of peace prepare for war" undoubt-
eddy was one who neglected to have
his furnace put in good repair dur
ing the summer. Charles Go1dstein
frequently meets persons Of this
type.
IF people would only realize, :"
Goldstein said, "how much better 1t
is to have necessary furnace repairs
made during warm weather, there
would be vary few hurry-up calls for
the repair man when the thermom-
eter is shivering at zero. In the
summer months my workmen do not
have to hurry. as Is the case during
the usual rush in the winter, and
accordingly whatever they may be
called upon to do, they do more
thoroughly.
Moreover, it is possible at this
season Of the year to carefully plan
the proper repair to make. Later
on, when cold weather and emer-
gencies come together, there is very
little time for planning, and often
the workmen can do nothing but
make a temporary job at an actual
labor cost Of more than a we'll
planned permanent repair done at
the proper season."
Goldstein, whose sheet metal plant
is located st 1040 Meridian st. also
makes d speciality Of installing and
repairing all types of guttering and
spouting.
"A new section of guttering put
up in place of one that has rotted
will very often prolong the life OF
the entire guttering system by re.
lieving the tendency to decay caused
by water standing in sagging
joint" Goldstein said. "At any rate
my customers are frequently sur.
prised by the moderate cost of such
repairs, and you know it costs moth

PAIN Ting WORK
Being Done ON
PAYMENT PLAN
Northern Company Offers
Attractive Proposition
to Home Owner.

When Henry Ford started selling
automobiles on the partial payment
plan. wise merchants and artisans
saw the handwriting on the wall.
Nowadays there is general realiza-
ton that the necessary charge for
some forms of labor imposes bur-
den on the property owner that can
only be lightened by allowing him to
spread his outlay over period of
time.
One such expense is that Of paint
ing. There is nothing about build
ing more important that the proper
application of paint, to make 1t re-
sist the ravages of time and weather.
Many Decide to Wait
Yet many a home-owner hesitates
and decides. to wait until next
year" before he has his house
painted because he feels that he is
unable to spare the actual cash.
The Northern Paint Company,
which, beside furnishing the neces-
sary skilled labor, keeps a first class
stock of Advance paints, oils, stains
and varnishes at 2943 Central Ave.
has made a speciality Of doing excel
lent work on payments.
Give Eight Months
The usual practice is to allow any
customer who desires the privilege
Of paying his bill in eight monthly in
stallments. Very often, when a house
is really in need of painting. eight
months may represent the difference
between beauty and safety from de-
cay, or hideous unattractiveness and
the beginning Of a deterioration.
With advertisers cons n tly
preaching the paramount import
ance OF saving the surface Of resi-
dence buildings, it is no wonder
that so many home owners have
awaited themselves Of this very excel
lent and convenient plan of having
their painting done as soon as 1t
Is needed.
