CARLSON'S HAVE 2 LARGE STORES
Naugatuck, WatertOwn Avenue Branches We'll
 

One of the most progressive furni ture firms in or around Waterbury is the Carlson Furniture store which maintains two large beautiful stores one of which is located in Nauga- tuck and the other on Watertown avenue, this city. The firm has been engaged in the furniture business in Naugatuck for the past forty years and today 1t is the outstanding fur niture company in that borough. The building which today houses the Carlson Furniture company in Naugatuck is 8 beautiful one of four stories.
 The other store located on Water town avenue, this city, is known as the Carlson Wayside Furniture House and is we'll known throughout the Naugatuck Valley as ideal place for persons to buy their furniture or other household equipment.
 Carlson's is known for the high quality merchandise which 1t offers the public at moderate prices. The Wayside Furniture House located in this city, is out of the high rent dis trict and therefore is in 8 position to pass on its savings to the public.
 In 1900 the firm was first organ ized, in 1928 the Wayside Furniture shop was started, in 1921 the firm purchased its present beautiful site on Church street, Naugatuck. The officers of the firm are: Joseph Carlson, president and founder; Arr mold Carlson, manager; Miss Mildred Carlson, secretary. Miss Fridolf Carl- son is assistant secretary. Norman, another brother, is the head sales man.
 At the present time extensive plans are under way at both the Water bury and Naugatuck stores to ar- range for busy Christmas season. The company handles only high grade merchandise all of which is nationally advertised and may be purchased on convenient terms.

Perhaps it is because they are close to na- ture and the real things of life that they are so religious.
