The D. M.‘ Road company has
been doing business in Bridgeport
for the‘past 69‘ years. and it has
drawn trade for many miles outside
of Bridgeport. lts c nservative

was founded by. David M. Read and
William 8. Hall it has been known
as a. quality store.
For the past 57..years the busi.
ness had been located at Fairliold

prominent corner in Bridgeport. The
decision to change the location came
the result of the “pull" which

testifies. .
The floor construction is the firs
installation of its kind in this vici-
nity. being composed of small rc-
infcrced concrete beams with filler
blocks in between each beam. These
are made of slag concrete. The
usual filler for a system of this
kind in the past has been either
hollow tile or metal pans. ‘Tho sing
block system proved to be very
economical'tnd provides for an ex-
ceptionally heavy floor load.

All of the floors of the .building in

with a genuine battleship linoleum
which will prove to be almost in-

very easy to, walk upon. proving to
be almost noiseless as well as com-
fortable for pedestrians' use.

It was pointed out that the courts
of this country have the sole rights
to pass upon the validity of divorces
obtained outside the Jurisdiction of
one court should the parties, or
even one of them. move into that
jurisdiction. and then only if the le-
gality bf the separation is ques-

The courts are full of cases where
the validity of divorces obtained in
one state is being contested in an-
other. owing to alleged conflict of
laws. Cases where divorces have
been obtained in foreign countries
and contested in the courts of this
country are numerous. ,;e'
Because of the laxity of the laws
