dinner and entertainment and the summer outings were enjoyed very much by all the members.
 In a factory like that of the Wa terbury Farrel Foundry and Ma chine Co.,, the training Of ap- prentices until they become skilled mechanics is ultra-impor- tant. (The first apprentice contract drawn by the firm, dated 1874, is reproduced here on this page).
 Men who have gone through a training period at the factory have profited by 1t. Those of them who remained at the plant have all ad- vanced; those who left have made their mark in many fields of worldly endeavor.
 Since 1880 there have been graduated from the apprentice training courses of the Waterbury Farrel Foundry and Machine Co.,, approximately TOO skilled mechan- ics.
 Services Retained
 The following are some of those, who, after training, remained at the factory, most of them now be- ing foremen or sub-foremen:
 Henry Fiege, general foreman; Charles Sciullo, Edward Zehnder, Ray Walsh, Ray Leonard, Patrick Barnes. Thomas German, Patrick Turke, William Hickey, Hugh Brown Bryan MacAuliffe, Patrick Cronan, Daniel Campbell, l.. Pe- quinot James lsherwood. frahk Smith, Henry Beausoliel, Earl Kurtz, William Gumpper.

ready to adapt new methods, and better methods. That has been one of the main reasons for it's continued high place in the Con- necticut Industrial field.
 T. company was among the first to develop machinery for making screws, nuts. bolts and ri- vets by the cold process. Its other current products include a com plete line of power presses, and the allied equipment used in fac tories, as we'll as machinery for the manufacture of wire, tube and sheet products by cold process. In addition the company builds spe- cial machinery on order. according to the customers plans and speci- fications.
 The changing industrial scene in Waterbury through the passing of the years found the Waterbury Farrel Foundry and Machine Co. maintaining much the same per sonnet as far as possible. Veter- an businessmen have been at the helm of its affairs, veteran em- ployes have worked in the plant itself. Tn 1919, an association of veteran employees was formed and the organization has remained &C., tive till this very day. Ten years earlier, employees had formed an aid association-an organization which likewise still flourishes.
 To keep up with its growth and the ever-increasing demand for its products, the factory has added building after building to its plant since its formation more than 75 years ago. Into each building, as 1t was erected, went the newest and best in equipment for that
