 Building Being Wrecked
 One of the oldest land marks in WaterVilie, the brick building at tho corner of Boyden street and Thom- aston avenue and bearing the name "The Waterbury Fastener Com pany," iS now In the hands of c wrecking company, and work has begun toward tearing down the old factory.
 The older residents of WaterVille will remember that tho IT. II. Welch Hosiery company conducted busi- ness in that building, beginning in April of 1871 and continuing until about 1917. ono local resident who worked their then remembers the fact that ox-teams were the means of transportation used to carry the raw materials and finished products back and forth between the railroad station in Waterbury and the fac- tory in Waterville.
 When the II. II. Welch Hosiery company went out of existence, the Chase company purchased the build ing after which the Gordon Electric company began operating there. That concern later moved to Bog- ton, and the Waterbury Fastener company then occupied the build ing and carried on it's industry for several years, furnishing work for many people of Waterville.
