Jewett City has a fine community house on a river bank with bathing privileges. Plainfield has fine central home for the mill em- ployes. Attawaugan has small com. munity building. These community eenters are found to be of great hene. fit to the social welfare and content. ment of the employees.

COULDN'T SELL GOLD
 DOLLARS FOR 50 CENTS

fifty cents was placed conspieuously near it.
 Dollar Remains
 At the close of the day's business the dollar still remained in Mfr. Lu- cier's possession. People gathered in front of the window and Mir. Lucier could hear them arguing over whether the gold dollar was . bargain None were willing to take a chance and no one made the purchase which would have netted him two hundred percent.
 Twenty-Five Years Ago
 Twenty-Five years ago. MT. Lucier says, be tried the same experiment. with the same result. His father had sold q piece of property for $500 and received the sales price in gold. This gold was place in the show window as an attractive advertising medium. Several of the gold dollars were mark cd for sale at fifty cents each. None were purchased
 Mir. Lucier relates how several peo~ pie came into his store, asked to see the coins, looked them carefully over, hefted them, bit them, smelled them and did everything but purchase them.
 Now, quarter of a century later, NIT. Lucier finds the public as firmly convinced as ever that one can not get something for nothing and he has again proven that you can't sell gold dollars for fifty cents.
 Why the buying public does not reason things out Mir. Lucier does not When reliable store ad- vertises an article, whether it be a gold dollar or a scarf pin, that store Is behind the statement. If the buyer realized this he would not hesitate Co purchase. The whole attitude of the buyer is a subject for analysis by a psychologist but the fact remains that be can not be made to believe that he .an purchase gold coin below it's lace value.
