An Interesting and Wonderful His-
tory of the Rise and Progress
of the Largest Business in
New Canaan.

 

Nearly a half century ago, Mr. Samoan
Cous'rocx, still a robust and active man, al~
though in his eightieth year, added to the
stock of his ceilntry store in New Canaan, a
branch of Genilemen’s Clothing, cut and
made up by an experienced tailor whom‘he
kept at work in the quaint old store. So
popular did this, their new departure prove,
that in a very short time, (what had been in-
tended as a convenience to the New Cahaan
business man’and farmer), became a widely
extended demand. He soon manufactured
so largely as to require the services of several
peddlars who drove their staid dobbins about
to North Stamford, Bedding, Ridgefield,
Vista and South Salem. This was probably
the turning point that made the grand suc-
cess since accomplished.

The business grew so rapidly in magnitude
that the elder Mr. Comstock had to have
more assistance, and he took into copartncr—
ship his son, A. S. Comstock. This was in
the year 1852 or thereabouts. The business
still grew even more rapidly than before, and
in 1800, the present Mr. H. B.Rogers, a step-
son,was added to the firm. Mr. Rogers proved
a really sagacious business man and an ener—
getic and enterprising developer of the full
possibilities of the now important interest.
He at once induced his venerable partner to
drop the calico and sugar, the teas and shoes,
the trace chains and molasses of the primitive
country store, and to devote all their time
and energies to the complete organization and
carrying on of the Made-Up Clothing Trade.
From this impoftant change may be dated
the marvelous growth and wonderful success
of the New Canaan Ready-Made Clothing
manufacturing business, now by far the lar-
gest in that rarely beautiful rural town.

Under the general ownership and superin-
tendency of Mr. Rodgers, the manufactory
had up to last year, so outgrown all the. local
facilities for its proper carrying on, that'liIr.
R. resolved to erect a suitable manufactory
building, which should be‘ adequate to the
enormous trade carried on.

Rosana" BLOCK.

The factory building is located on the cor-
ner of Main and Forest streets, upon what
was in days “lang sync," the old Ayres’
homestead. It is 54 feet front on Main street
and runs baCk 80 feet on Forest. A deep
lot is secured for any future enlargements
that may be required, at the end of which the
company’s stables are located, The massive
structure is three high stories in front and
four in rear. The first story has a neat but
heavy iron front, and a four feet hall runs
through the edifice in the centre. from ground
to attic. The ground floor is divided into
two immense stores of 25x80 feet. The north
one is piled full of finished garments and
stock ready to be issued. The south one is
divided in front by their business ofiices and g
the private desk room of Mr. Rogers, which ’
is neatly encased, with portions lighted and
beautified with ground glass top panels. Back
of these are tons uponjtons of uncut cloths
waiting inspection, sponging and cutting.
The unobstructed and unlimited light and the
airincss and chearfulness of all the rooms of

this huge building most favorably impress
' the visitor.

In the basement, on the north side of the
dividing hall is the Heating, ;Veutilating, In-
spection and Cloth-Sponging Departments.
On the South side is the Boxing and Shipping
Room, the Elevator, Water System, etc., etc.
Up to this room at the rear end, teams can be
easily backed to,receive.their valuable loads.

The great room on the secoad story, north
side, is piled to the ceiling with their heavier
goods, in readiness to be put out next Fall,
for the coming Winter's wear. The south
room isgoccupicd in front by one of the most
remarkable geniuses probably about the place,
Mn. Jnnzs Gurunrn, foreman of the Pattern
Cutting Department. Mr. G. was formerly
in the employ of one of the monster New
York Ready-MadejClothing Houses, but he
was such an apt expert that Mr. Rogers dil
not rest till he had secured his services. His
duly it is every season to originate styles and
to cut the patterns therefor in pasteboards.
This requires not only the greatest skill but
such an apt and cultivated taste as shall un-
erringly anticipate the styles that will prove

acceptable to and popular with the trade and
the people, who in the ,end are to purchase
and wear the clothes.

CLOTH CUTTING 30‘0M .

In the north rooom of the third story, still
25x80, are the Cnttcrs, some twenty in num-
ber. who take the 'pasteboard patterns and
spreading upon great tables layers of 'cloth of
many thicknesses, proceed to plow their
huge and glittering shears through the intact
cloth, every piece of which is most carefully
measured, inspected as to spot or flaw in its
texture, and sponged in the basement before
being placed on the elevator for this hive of
cutting activity, Every separate garment,
with all its needed trimmings is here comv
pactly folded, tied up and marked, in readi—
ness to be sent out to the grandarmy of over

800 makers.
South of the Getters’ Department, on the

same story, is the principal stock room, where
goods of every description, coarse and fine,
high priced and cheap, with trimmings in

ble space.
A peculiarity about this business is the
constant and rapid moving off of the stock.
Every day tons of garments are shipped, and
although Mr. Rogers tries to keep his stock
in the building down to the lowest possible
point, the goods ponstantly awaiting ship-
ment average fully one hundred thousand
dollars.

Teams go out three times a week to deliver
and collect pants and vests, which alone are
made by women sewers about the country.
Of these Mr. R. estimates that they keep some
800 constantly employed.‘ H‘is coats are all
made by professional tailors living in or near
the village, who in turn :employ their own
assistants. One expert coat maker employs
from 18 to 20 men, and turns out 80 coats
per day.

Upon one thing the company insist. All
garments must be made in the best possible
manner, irrespective of the high or low price
of the goods, and every piece returned is

rigidly inspected, and if found slighted in

the least degree, it is returned to the maker
or remedied at his or her cost. No “shoddy"
or “snide” goods are purchased, and no “slop-
work" is tolerated. Every garment is just
what it is represented to be, and to this rigid
avoidance of every species of trade deception
may be attributed the high character and
popularity of their goods wherever sold, and
which now embraces about every state in the
Union. The sharp competition which comes
from New York and Boston they do not fear.
because having everything connected with
their vast concern systematized in the most
alfiolute thorough manner, and every element
of cost reduced to the minimum, they are able
to make successful headway even in compe-
tition with the German producing markets of
Baltimore and Washington, probably the

cheapest in the United States. All their
goods are purchased for cash, at first hands,
and to once gain a customer is to always keep

him, because the strict fidelity of their busi-
ness methods is always a guarantee against

deception in either material or making.

All the above is descriptive and general,

mediatcly despatched them. It is no wonder
then that both N orwalk Retail Clothing Em-
poriums enjoy such an exceptional popularity
and trade prosperity.
It is all founded on honest, solid, well
earned and well deserved merit. Mr. John

young men in the right place, and are impor-
tent factors in the popularity enjoyed by the
firm.‘ ‘ ‘
In the wholesale trade, equal care has been
taken to secure especially capable and agree-
able gentlemen. Their New York agent is
George Sufiern, located at 587 Broadway ;
their Boston man Henry Dunster, and their.
home and near-by trade is faithfully managed
and guarded by P. A. Thatcher, while Mr.
B. F. Hoyt is in charge of the counting room.
Without reserve and with unhesitating
earnestness do we commend these worthy
and successful toilers in the world's great
vineyard, to the fullest public confidence,
certain that no one,will ever have occasion
to charge that H. B. Rogers 8.5 00., or COM-

An April Fool Trick.

 

BY J. KATE LUDLUM,

 

Jim Green was bashful, there was no doubt
of it; and the scholars of Browning seminary
were never so well pleased, as when they
could get a chance to tease him. Now,
Browning was only a little village among the
hills of—well, it doesn’t make any difference
where; and the “seminary" was a one-story
dirty looking building, rather flat, as though
struck down with surprise at its name—~ns
were all those who heard it for the first time.
Just who named it, nobody knew, but there
it was, and there it was going to stuyfisvl-
denily, as the boards had been pllt in to stay,
and, though out and battered, were strong
still, as had been the sturdy men who built
it in years long gone by.

At the time my story opens. the teacher at
the seminary was a young girl of eighteen,
sweet-looking enough, but with a month
that suggested plenty of strength if need be ;
and eyes very soft and gentle until her tem-
per was roused when to use Tom Black's ex-
pressive words—“Great hockey! can’t her
eyes shine though ! I tell yer what, boys, that
time she caught as trying to drown Mother
Higgin’a cat, I'd‘a giv' five dollars if Jonah's
whale had happened along for me to jump
into ! When— mad! she fairly burned me
into a cinder, an’ I know my hair stood on
an end!” But, for all her brave looks and
words, Janie Brooks hadn’t an easy time of
it, I can assure you. Ten rough, unruly boys,
some older than she, and as ‘many wild,
harem scarem girls are not easily managed.
But Jim Green! well, Janie gave him up
in despair after a while. He wouldn't study
and he wouldn’t talk, unless he felt like it,
which was very seldom. She often declared
to herself, that she wished he were not there,
he behaved in such an utterly idiotic manner.
Instead of studying, as he certainly ought to
have done, he would sit and watch her for.
hours together, until she really grew to dis-
like hiin exceedingly. Her efforts to call
him to order were of no earthly use but to
cause him to blush and make the other
scholars snicker.

After school he usually sneaked off sheep-
ishly to wait in some remote corner till Janie
came along, when he would join her and
walk beside her to her boarding-place, an-
swering little to her pleasant remarks. And
yet, for all his .apparent stupidity, Miss
Brooks believed he had the making of a man
in him, if one only knew how to reach‘ his
heart.

How the bays teased him to be sure! call-
ed him “dandy Jim, Brooklet, etc. 1" How

valentine in Miss Janie's name, and which he
had answered by a most detestable scrawl

joke; and the sly nods

and Jim, was in the

ing moonlight." “meet me' at the 'style,

Mary," and various shouts from different
groups proclaimed to ‘the .- watchful eyq of
their teacher that there was mischief in the
am . .

At last, on Friday after-neon, the day'beé
fore the first of April, Jim Green opened his
grammar to make believe study, when a slip
of white paper fell out. On opening it he
read :-—_ '

“Dunn Jm :—-Meet me at the crooked tree
down in the cast lot, tomorrow evening; I
have yamething to tell you. Of course re-
ceived the valentine you sent.

Yours till death, _
Jam Buooxs.”

The schooLroom being very quiet, Miss
Brooks looked up in surprise, but only saw
double rows of‘innocent faces; with the ex-
ception of J im’s, which was about the color

glaricehcibe‘ owfed iipn her imade her ei‘es "
flash ailittle. i'Sometliing wasnp, she knew;
but like a wise little woman, decided to wait
and see.

Poor Jim had no chance to walk home
with Janie that day for a whole crowd of
fellows carried him off in their midst, to see
a tame hear one of them had caught that,
morning. So, as there is strength in num-
bers, sometimes, especially in this case, he
was forced to submit and relinquish the fond
hope of walking home with his adored one.

as night fell. Blit‘Jim was not to be put out
by the elements. The note said “go,” and go

.he would, rain or shine. Even if she wasn’t

there it would do no harm; he could at least
go home again and wait till Monday. So he
brushed his boots-{though what good that
would do I can't tell,—smoothed his stubborn
brown locks a dozen times before they suited
him, tied his cravat so tight it almost choked
him, and sallied form, his heart thumping
uncomfortably against his waist-coat.

The happy thought had struck him to take
a lantern; so the tiny ray of light heralded
his approach to the “fallen tree,” and the
dark figure standiy beside it.

“Well, J im,” said ahorirse voice; “I began
to think you weren’t coming! and I’ve
caught an awful cold waiting for you i"
“I—I’m confounded sorry i" he stammered
not stopping to think of the absurdity of her
cold. “You—you wanted to see me, you
said ?” he added. 0

“But don’t you want to see me, Jim ?" as
swuetly as hoarsencss would allow, "Really,
after your valentine and all, I thought you
must—like me—a little 1” “You know I do.

you this k—darling would do ?"
“Darling—yes !" trying to get his arm
around her, but her waterproof was very
much in the way. , ‘
Then, after _ a pause during which a great
many resounding kisses were heard, .“Well,”
in a sort of smothered voice, f‘hadn’t we bet-
ter be going? If Deacon Sliifth should hear
of this, he‘d lecture me dreadfully; so I must
get home before he gets back from prayer-
meeting.”

“Bat," and J im's voice was mournful, “I’ve
not seen you at all! Can’t you stay a little
longer ? The deacon’ll never know—dar—
darlz'ng !"

“Oh, dear me, no!” cried Janie hoarscly,
“I'm afraid its dreadfully late now, you
surely wouldn r. want me to get a scolding,

“You know I would'nt i" and the hand he
held received is desperate squeeze.

derly hoarse, “don’t let the fellows at school

“I’ll ipunch their heads for 'cm, if they
do!" he growled. “But you’ll let me come
to see you, won’t you 7"

“I should think you see me enough at

“Well, they—you—I—you see, Miss
Brooks—darling, the boys.all laugh at rue, if
I even squint at you. But thenIdon’t mind,

still in the rain and mud, to clasp the drip—_
ping waterproof in his arms.

“Oh, Jim, you mustn’t !" was the smother-
ed exclamation, as she once more stoOd on
her feet.

When they reached Deacon Smith‘s gate,
Jim paused, but Janie told him he might go
as far as the steps if he'd be real quiet, So
they tip—toad softly to the steep, and Jim had

mouth, when the front door was suddenly
thrown wide open, and with the blinding
flood of light that streamed over the lovers,
came a troop of girls and boys laughing,
shouting, clapping their hands, and dancing
around'them. While poor bewildered, blush-
ing Jim was utterly dumbfounded and
horror-stricken to see the form he held in his
arms, suddenly dcvelope into Jo. Baxter, the
greatest mischcif maker in Browning semin-
ary. “Ha ha!" she laughed, throwing the
great waterproof on the steps and shaking
out her long hair from under the slouching
cap she wore, "So I'm a darling! am I Jim ?
I mustn’t let the boys know of this—ob no,
not at all! I’ve such a dreadful cold," shc
groaned, amid shrieks of laughter from those
gathered around, “and the boys do tease me
so !"

At this a crowd of boys got the poor fellow
in their midst, when one of them took 011‘ his
hat, his hand on his heart, and with a sweep-
ing courtesy, handed Jim a slip of paper,
which he took mechanically and read—-
“APRlL Foon."

At this moment Janie Brooks herself ap-
peared in the doorway and trled to quiet the
confusion, but at her first word Jim Green
turned and fled through the crowd.

After a while the laughter, the exclama‘
tions and attempts to explain, were quiet,
and one by o'ne the scholars dispersed to
their homes, new and then a burst of merri-
ment startling the dark, wild night.

Jim Green never went to Browning semin-
ary after that, and in nshort time left the
place.

Time fiew by as it has a way of doing, un-
til ten years more were added to the list.
Janie Brooks had married and gone from the
village, Jo. Baxter taking. her place in the
school—for she had improved wonderfully,
this wild girl, and grown into a true-hearted
brave-sealed woman, loved by all and hated
by none. But one day—the first day of
April, to be sure !—-there was quite an excite-
ment in the place. Miss Baxter was to be
married that night and to a stranger, too.
All the hints, 'the cariess remarks, the point- .
blank questions as to who “he" was,:received
no reply, and the villagers waited .in_breath-
less excitement to find out by actual seeing.
The stranger arrived that afternoon, a tall;
broadshonldered man, with a grave, earnest
face, steady brown eyes, and a laughing
mouth-—-a "good man” they all decided at
once. But who was he! That was the ques-
tion.

A. ALLEN has justly earned this side,
and thousands are this day rejoicing
over a fine head of hair produced by
her unequaled preparation for restor-
ing, invigorating, and beautifying the
Hair. Her World's Hair Restorer
quickly cleanses the scalp, removing
Dandruff, and arrests the fall; the
hair, if gray,is changed to its natural
color, giving it the same vitality and
luxurious quantity as in-youth.

COMPLIMENTABY. “My
hair is now restored to its
youthful color; I have not
a, gray hair left. I am sat-
isfied that the preparation
is not a dye, but acts on
the secretions. 'My hair .
ceases to fall, which is‘cer-
tainly an advantage to me,

coming bald.” This is

"for that pain in your chest ou had better go

think this minute anything better. And by the

Pat’s. Maybe they wrll sometime, when its too
late for me to use it. .

Inviting homeward at the day's decline;

Almost we see where from the open portal

Has lost the power our senses to enthrall;
We hear, above the tumult and the noises,
Soft tones of music, like an angel’s call.

The long vain years, nor call our lost youth

Gladly, with spirits braced, the future facing,
We leave behind the dusty, foot worn track.

Flirting on the Stile.

 

AN IRISH SCENE.

My heart‘ gave a flutter and, gasping for
breath,

I thought I was caught in the clutches of
death,

For I saw my own Kitty-bestow her sweet
smile ’

0n Timothy Doyle, as they sat on the stile.

Then Tim slipped his arm round her beauti-
ful waist,

And kissed her. Och, wasn’t it sweet to the
taste ?
She said,“'l‘im, have manners, and keep your
hands down," ,

But there wasn’t much wrath in her soft
blushing frown.

I could stand it no longer, so, grasping my
stick,
I shouted, “You villian,bepff double quick."
So he fled for his life and he left me the spoil,
And that was the way I got rid of Tim Doyle.

“Ohl false-hearted Kitty, why were you so
cruel? 7 '
You've broken my heart—” “Och, be aisey,
my jewel.

What harm is there in it, in flirting awhile
With Timothy Doyle, as we sat on the stile?

“When you met Nell Dooly last week at the
well, _
Now what were you doing and saying to
Nell?

Bay, were you not toying, like children at
play.

And didn’t you kiss her on coming away ?

I
uIf you walk with Nell

y, then I’ll walk with

Tim,

And if you flirt with her, may not I flirt with
him '

Since you're fond of Nelly, then, why did
you spoil

My short love adventure with Timothy
Doyle ?"

‘Array, Kitty, my darling, my he_art is your.
own, ,

And I’m jealous because you don't love me
alone;

I only gave Nelly the blarney and smile—"
“Just what I gave Tim as we sat on the stile.”

I caught her and gave her a hug of delight,
And exclaimed, “Kitty, darling, we'll end it
to-night; .
So we went to the priest and he settled the
strife ‘
By making'young Kitty my partner for life

We were agreeably reminded this morning
of the near approach of the balmy zephyrp of
spring; of the long June evenings, land—and
-the lowing herds of kine, and smell'of new.-
mown hay, and daflodils, and hock beer, and
—and——thupder and lightning, and all those
things that go to make life a poem audasong.
We ‘were ploughing our way through the
snow drifts in one of the many little parkaiu

half buried in the snow, on which was in-
scribed the legend, “Keep off the grass."-
