OPENING OF FORD
AGENCY ROOMS
Company Shows Faith in
. the Futu Growth of
the orwalks.
Over 1,500 persons crowded into the
new Lincoln and Ford auto show
room of Dulce \Vilcox Flint.‘ Inc.. at
7~\Vest avenue last evening to attend
the opening which markd the en-
trance of the local Ford agency into
its quarters. Long before 7:45 o’clock.
when the program began, the throng
[had ocupled every chair in the
'spacious show room and the Ford
and Lincoln cars on exhibition were
almost. hidden from view by the
groups of people who Were forced to
stand throughout the evening.
The building was tastefully decor-
atcd with the national colors in com-
memoration of Lincoln's birthday and
throughout the evening music was
furnished by Merriam's orchestra. A
radio outfit. installed through the
co-operation of the Norwaiks' Elec-
.tric Company. gave the audience the
'opportunity of hearing music and
speeches from points as for distant as
Pittsburg. Newark. and Schenectady.
The program was opened by Harry
Sandager. the new manager of the
Branch, who welcomed the people of
Norwalk to "their new auto sales-
room." lie explained what he meant
by the use of this pronoun by point.-
ing out the fact that the new building
'hns become a putt. ol’ the business
achitecture of Nonvalk and there-
fore the citizens havc'a right. to ex-
perience a community sense of pos-
session.
' He said furthrr that Dulce \Vilcox
Flint. Inc.. by taking over such a
large show room had plainly man-
ifested its confidence in the future
of Norwaik and its belief that this
city is gttting busier and bigger eevry
day. no evoked a laughter from
the audience when he épokc of Roger
Ludlow'cs contract \vitii Mahackemo
in 1640. wherein he purchased from
the Indian sachem as much land be-
tween the Saugaluck and the Nor-
walk riu rs as he could cover in a
day's journey from the coast. .
added: V
"The doughly Sir Roger proved to
bc a sturdy walker, but I wonder how
far he could have gone if he had
used a. Ford? I think that if he
could hate used a runabout or a
touring car the western boundary of
Norwalk would be well into Ohio and
this city would hacv been the widest
in the world." .
Mr. Sandager pointed out that the

Herbert D. Winchester Is

Thomas Alva Edison. the greatest
inventor of all ages. though still the
intensely active leader in the marvel-
ous progress of electrical development
that he started some fifty years ago.
was 76 on Sunday. the 11th. The
birthday was spent quietly at his home
with his family. but: yesterday, the day
following. he celebrated the event by
having his annual play spell tn'd bane
quel; with a. gathering of his old
pioneer helpers and other closely eon-
nested friends who came to do him
hon’or at the famous Edison Labora-
tory of West Orange. N. J.
Some years ago“. the men 'wlto
served Edison during the early and
somewhat doubtful days of electric,“
discOvery—who stood by their chief
and saw him win victory after victory.
after others had failed—were hunted
up and gathered into an organization
that. though naturally not as. numerous
body. had become well-known as the
Edison Pioneers. and which is to stand
throughout the coming generations is
a living monument to their Chief
Pioneer. To keep the ranks of this as-
sociition from eventually thining out

of local interest on this occasion is
the fact that one of those upon
who the title of‘Edison Pioneer De-
scen ant was conferred yesterday.
was Herbert D. Winchester. in honor
of his father. Alibert E. Winchester of
this city. who at‘the age- or 18 became
the youngest member of the old Edi-
son engineering staff back in the
eighties and served the Educ!) inter-
ests nearly a. dozen years thereafter.
Now he is one of the only two living
original Edison Pioneers in Connecti-
cut. Aside from this. the distinction
thus tendered Herbert at this time is
especially fitting. as he is to graduate
in a. few months. as a mechanical and’
electrical engineer from Stevens InstL -
lute of Technology. from which many
of EdisOn' s best men have come. and
will hereafter devote himself to the
advancement of electro-mechanics.

invited guests. The luncheon and ex-

and Mrs. Edison. their several sons

Pioneers and their friends present. and
the J‘oliification in the great
_“Wisard‘s" workshop of mystic revs-
htlon amid the scenes of latest dev el-
opments in the electrical art. little
known as yet to the outside world. was
one of strange contrast to the usual
serious doings within those sombre
walls. Many of Ediso ’sold boys came
hundreds of miles to be with him for
alfew hours. (Mostly all of them great
leaders in electrical work and many
- who have grown rich at it: yet all just
good fellows together as they used to
be in the old days when they worked
