Il South Norwalk, Conn. i . ‘ Feb. 16, 1926. Editor, The Evening Sentinel: $1" Why do I believe in Norwalk? ‘ ‘ I appreciate the opportunity to set forth my views in regard to the future growth of Norwalk through the booster page, published by The Evening Sentinel. , | . For many years my store was conducted on Washington street. Several Washington street merchants, including Joseph Davis, Fred Giorchino of the E Sterling Furniture company and myself felt that the trend "of business was ' «1. , along North Main street. I believe we were right in this. Perhaps the trend . has not been so strong as yet, but I confidently believe that more and more a stores will find new locations away from Washington street, because of the 1 limitations of space as explained so clearly by Mr. Mills of the Peoples T1 ust company on your Booster page last week. 2 ‘ p- . The type of stores in a community reflect the character of its people to a considerable extent. The stranger entering our city gets an impression of ' city from “window shopping.” Therefore, if all the merchants of the city would giv: more attention to the 11- window displays, they would benefit themselves as well as“ ..1 citv. The natural advantages of the city have be e 11 mentioned by- various bankers and realtors and I could only repeat what they have said in this respect 5 r 1- My thought in connection with boosting the city is to have the mer- ~ chants improve their window displays. If given proper attention this will play an important part in our community growth. _ A“ Let me assure you that the city is advancing and that The Evening Sentinel is doing a very helpful work in airing the views of Norwalk boosters l ' Very sincerely,‘ ' ‘ ‘ ' ' . .
