ADVERTISEMENTS. 



Mr. Gurley sees a great future for 

 this property. The enlargement of the 

 Yale & Towne plant, will increase the 

 demand for apartments, in the other 

 manufactories, conditions are growing 

 better, and as they add to their force 

 of employees, there will be more need 

 of the up to date apartment. 



Stamford is growing every day, and 

 the next few years will show an im- 

 pressive increase in the population. 

 The most pressing demand will be for 

 the twelve room apartment on the fifty 

 foot lot, such as Gurley and Cooke are 

 planning. 



The old Ritch homestead, was built 

 in 1835, and is a well built roomy habi- 

 tation. It was the home for three 

 generations of the family of the late 

 Wells R. Ritch, and is now occupied 

 by the daughter of Air. Ritch, Miss 

 Cynthia W. Ritch. Adjoining the 

 homestead, is the residence of the late 

 Thomas Gardiner Ritch. These two 

 houses are to be removed by the new 

 owners, and business houses built in 

 their places.

 all locations. 



Take a spin in our ' gasolene buggy" 

 and see them.
