FUR COMPANY GOING
 BACK TO NEW YORK.
Concern Located in Putnam Five Years Ago Needs Ex-
 perienced fieip
Issue Formal Statement Concerning
 Departure

The New England Fur Company. an industry located in the Kaminsky block, Main street, for the past five years, manufacturing fur garments. Is to leave Putnam and return to New York.
 A member of the firm expressed his regrets to a Patriot representative this week that the concern felt obliged to leave this city. The handling of furs is a most important work and needs experienced operators. These have been trained by the company in Putnam. As this is the only factory of it's kind in this section no expe- rienced help is available. Through resignations. often due to the mar riage of the young ladies employed, it becomes necessary te train more and more people. This puts the concern to great disadvantage One of the pur- poses in returning to New York is to be in field where those experienced in fur manufacture may be hired.
 The company has issued the follow ing statement concerning their remov- al from the city.

Coneern's Statement

As you probably know. We are closing cur factory shortly. and are consolidating forces with our New York plant. There have been some new stockholders recently admitted, and at a meeting held recently 1t was decided by reason of the drastic changes which have characterized the fur industry during the past two sea- sons. that it is considered advisable to manufacture under one central control.
 We have been in Putnam now. for five years. During this period we have made some friendships which we val ue very highly. It is with deep feel ings of regret that We are compelled 10 advise of this decision. and we hasten to acknowledge our debt of gratitude 10 the citizens of Putnam for their cooperation. which has been largely responsible fer our success.
 We have had during the height of the season. in past years, from eighty to one hundred of the townspeople employed in our plant. It Is to these employees that we want to express our appreciation. Also to the late chief of police for his generous cooperation. and to the city administration. We want to express our thanks to your paper for your assistance in the way of cooperating with us in our ad- vertising requirements. Using your publication as a medium We have sold several hundred coats to the residents of Putnam and surrounding territory.
 These coats have been sold with a guarantee. This guarantee will be strictly adhered to, and will not be affected by the fact that we are nov ing to New York. In our subsequent advertisements. our New York ad' dress will be notated and that coats requiring repairs under our guarantee should be shipped to New York where they will be repaired and re- conditioned without charge.
 We are leaving Putnam, but we will be back. if only for visit, from time to time. to renew the friendships which we have formed.
 Yours very sincerely,
 THE NEW ENGLAND FUR co.
