 Why Not a Terryville Day
 During the past few weeks, three neighboring cities, namely, Water bury, Torrington and Bristol have held special events in which the merchants of the espective cities offered special sales which attract ed scores of local people to their stores.

Most of the merchants are in favor of holding such an event and feel sure that hundreds of buyers could be attracted to the lock town for such an event. Plenty of parking space is available in the center of the town and it is felt that the merchants in this town could easily arrange such an event. +
