NEW YORK, March 81. - These
are disquieting days in the financial
centers OF the world.

ably will be blamed more than ever
But international finaneiers" are
running to cover quicker than any
body else. They have all 70 lose,

The new collapse in prices is due
purely to economic lawS-the evasion
Of economic laws, the disregard Of
economic facts. we hear from every
financial center of importance in the
world.
Example
For example. the United States
tries TO peg the price Of cotton. There
II no demand TO sustain such q price.
Importing nations turn 70 other cot

more reasonable cotton. without de-
mand. even the richest government

The effort throughout the world TO
raise prices is based according TO
conservative economists on a fallacy
that price is not a mere exchange
value of goods for goods or goods

facts of markets and barter and
trade are cast aside. Instead. such

But the fancy figure does not
mean much. II buys less and less
and worse still, sells less and

And the cotton farmer soon will
learn that while his fancy figure for
sales will drop. the fancy figure for
what he buys will rise.
That forever has been the history

able assistant, Pearl J. Skilton. has expanded until today the R. F. Griggs company occupies and holds a leading position in the civic. and financial life of Waterbury.
 The original office opened by the late Robert Foote Griggs was To- cated on Bank street. Increased patronage called for larger quar- ters and the concern was installed at 63 North Main street. In 1915 the concern was incorporated and the officers were Alfred Hart, Rowley w. Phillips and MT Griggs, the latter holding the offices of treasurer and general manager.
 MT. Griggs, a highly esteemed member of the community. died in 1927 and his demise was the cause of countless expressions of regret. Rowley w. Phillips assumed his positions in the corporation.
 The present directors and offic- CTS of the concern are outstanding citizens of Waterbury. The pres ent quarters of the R. F. Griggs company on Leavenworth street were built in 1928 and promptly occupied by the concern.
 Modern in every way, the R. F. Griggs building on Leavenworth street is equipped to handle all business. It's vaults are of the lat est design and the cashiers de- partment is equipped with every later-day equipment. The clerical facilities are up-to-date in every angle and the special wire depart

Thirty-two years of service to
 the people of Waterbury has marked the record of the R. F. Griggs company, actually through it's present headquarters and also because of the outstanding work of its original founder. Robert Foote Grigs founded his brokerage business in July of 1903 with an

incnt men. The same Daniel J. Leary who started as a bookkeeper in the Eagle Brewing Co. was chos- en president of the new concern. James P. Healey, another com- paratively young man of marked business ability who gained his business training with the Connor Trucking Co.,, was chosen treas- urer. Attorney John H. Cassidy twice president of the Waterbury Bar association and outstanding in the practice of law in Waterbury. was elected secretary. Such a com- bination of brains and business acumen is chartering the destinies of the young brewing company and Is pushing it ahead to soon take it's place among the ranking brew directors of the company.
 The company employs 40 local men in the plant and sales depart ment. With the institution of the company, another punch at the unemployment situation in Water bury was taken with the hiring of employees to operate the plant.
 Actual operation of the plant is in the hands of Patrick J. Me- Fadden in the position of office m;-nager. A son of the late Patrick McFadden, former president of the board of aldermen and one of the outstanding men in his community the young executive is a Holy Cross college graduate and is demonstrating daily some of the characteristics that marked his father as a leader and executive of ability. The production is handled by Joseph Dougherty and the sale department by Joseph Negreira, two active go-getters of the first rank.
 Spring Water
 The secret of the fine brew can be laid to the excellent spring wa ter located on the premises. This wcter has been found by experts to e ideally fitted for the manu- facture of beer. The company III using this water to create the quality of brew that possesses zes.. palate- fullness and good foam stability. and when poured shows a tins creamy foam.
 Employees are working day and night to fill the orders that con- u to come to the company, so great has the demand become for the product. A trip to the plant and the company cordially invites the public to make the trip any time--will show picture of hustling, bustling activity, an in- dustrial beehive.

Waterbury Brewing
 Proud Of Clock Ale
Ace Product Becoming Nationally Famous-Master
 Brewer Supervises Originated in 1901

One of Waterbury's newest in. dustries, the Waterbury Brewing Co.,, came into being in May, 1894 and today bids fair to become one of the outstanding institutions o1 it's kind in the state. Noted for the excellence of its product, Clock Ale and Lager, the company is send: ing out daily car and truck loads of the brew to all parts of the country where 1t can be found in sc of the finest hotels.
 The Waterbury Brewing Co. is the successor to the old Eagle Brewing Co. and is using the same premises occupied by the latter company since its inception back in 1901. Several of Waterbury $ prominent men were graduated from the old Eagle Brewing Co.,, including Daniel J. Leary, present city controller and now president of the Waterbury Brewing Co.
 MT. Leary started as an ordinary bookkeeper for the old concern and by adapting himself to the business together with an unusual business sense; worked himself up to an important figure in the in- dustry. At the time 1t suspended operation in 1918 when prohibition became effective, MT. Leary was the assistant treasurer.
 Established in 1901
 The Eagle Brewing Co. was es- tablished in 1901 by Thomas Fin negan and Paul Suese. In 1902 1t was taken over by the late Thomas H. Hayes, father of the present Mayor Frank Hayes, and MT. Fin negan. It was incorporated in 1903 with Thomas H. Hayes as presi- dent and Thomas Finnegan as SC . cretary.
 Tic present four story main building, 15O by 80. was erected in 1902 and was used for the manu- facture of ale, lager and porter.
 When the company suspended operation in 1918 the plant and machinery were completely dis mantled. In 1884, after 15 years of ,dleness, the plant was com pletely renovated and rebuilt from top to bottom. The latest and most modern brewing equipment was in- stalled.
 n May. 1894, the Waterbury Brewing Go. was organized and prepared for. operation. A capable brewmaster was sought, one who c ild offer to the public product not just good enough, but one that would stand out above the others.
 John c. Broomfield was contact ed in Canada, where he had been engaged in several of the finest breweries in the Dominion and he agreed to come to Waterbury. What could be more natural than his coming back to Waterbury, for he mad been the brew master at the old Eagle Brewing Co. from 1907 to its closing.
 During prohibition he had worked in Canada at his trade and his experience, gained in years of service in some of Europe's great est breweries, never left him without employment. He is at his oli position in Waterbury today, turning out the good old Clock Ale end Lager for the thirsty palates of thousan6s.

of Swedish birth, embraced the Lutheran faith. The first Swedish Lutheran pastors who conducted services here were the Rev. Fritz Jacobson who at the time studied at Yale University, c. Blofson of New Haven and N. G. Johnson of Bridgeport. In the year 1889, Rev. L. H. Beck came to Water bury from Naugatuck and preached in Carlson's home. Later, St. Johns Episcopal parish house was used for Swedish Lutheran worship Sunday afternoons and Thursday evenings. No street cars were at that time running be- tween Naugatuck and Waterbury and Rev. MT. Beck had to walk many times.
 A Swedish Lutheran church so- ciety was organized Dec. 28, 1890. Its aim was to promote church work among the Swedes, according to the Lutheran faith and as soon as the time was ripe, organize a Swedish Evangelical Lutheran congregation. The congregation was organized Dec. 30, 1891 by the Rev. L. H. Beck, Ph.D., then pas tor in Naugatuck who also studied at Yale. The church was incor- porated in February, 1892.
 The first ordinary pastor was the Rev. w. P. Anderson. The con- gregation had just before his ar rival bought house and lot on Cherry street. The present church building was erected and the base ment was used for services.
 Those who served on the build ing committee were Nils Benson, John Hanson, Oliver Norman and John Swenson. At that time the church had 71 communicant mem- bers. Rev. Anderson stayed here only two years, 1893-1895. The second pastor was Rev. J. D. Dan-
