this fcrenoon that a large wom-

take over the factory on Water
street, downtown, now occupied
by the Harris— Raincoat Company.

At this time cfliciais of the
South Norwalk Board of Trade are
active in assisting in the obtain-
ing of factories for outside con-
cerns who are desirous of locating
in this city. The scarcity of floor
space is a problem they seek to
solve. The members of the Board
are gravely concerned over the
lack of housing accommodations,
one of the officials stating this
morning that the population of the

city could be increased by 2,000

were there sufficient rents here to
accommodate working men and

, women.

BIG NEW YORK ‘IIAI EIRM IAIIES
OVER JOHN 0. WILSON PUIIII -—

After standing in idleness fortwo years, the wheels of industry
will hum again in the John C. Wilson factory on South Main street.
downtown. The plant was acquired by the Multi-Felt Hat Company
in an imuortant deal closed today. The Multi-l‘elt Company, With
oflcbs at 719 Broadway, New York, is understood to have a great
chain of retail hat stores extending all over the states, and will an-
ploy a large number of hands in their newly acquired factory. Rep-
resentatives of the concern have been in South Nor-walk for several
days completing arrangements which will bring the industry to
this city. Complete details of the transaction were not available
this forenoon, but will be announced by ll'he Sentinel shortly. The
occupancy of the big Wilson factory leaves the city practically
fitbout facilities to accommodate any new factory coming here.
