The silhouette in this evening s edition of the New Britain Herald is none other than that of the extreme ly popular C. A. Bence.
 Mir. Bence deals in Pontiac and OaLlands and cordially invites every one to visit his show room and in- spect his very fine automobiles at 50 Chestnut street which is just next to the Connecticut company's car barn.
 This auto fan has been in business a good many years but it does not hinder his keeping up his roller hockey" spirit. I don't know much about his dates" but at least I know he attends meetings of the Lions Club every Tuesday at the Burritt hotel.
 He also has another business well known to builders for those who have let him figure for their ex- cavating work have surely got to credit him.
 The New Britain Herald is his daily paper and if you don't mind you'll find his ad is bringing very good results and Mr. Bence sure ap- preciates it, for if you pass by his store at 5:15 any afternoon you'll find him reading the news with two black dogs at his side.
