chosen winner of The Evening Sen-
tinel's contest on “Why Norwalk is
One of Connecticut's Most Prosper-

From hundreds of essays sub-

the editor of The Evening Sentinel.
In a well written article. Levy
points out the many advantages of
Norwalk. His subject is good and
his English concise, and well
phrased.
Levy’s essay follows:
“There are two factors essential
inlmaking for the prosperity of any
community—successful building and
home-making. Norwalk has these
two prcrequisities.
"Norwalk is ideally situated. It
is nestled among the foothills of
New England. and is but an hour's
ride from the greatest city in the
world. It is on the Boston Post
road. over which thousands of au-
tomobiles pass daily. It possesses a
harbor par excellence. which opens
into beautiful Long Island Sound.
Its railroad facilities are of the best.
Its labor supply is plentiful. All
these things have attracted to Nor-
walk enterprising business men. who
have built within its borders thriving
manufacturing concerns. whose
many and varied products have
netted large returns. These concerns
