He is a Republican in politics, and has been chosen Representative from New Haven to the Legislature of the State.

At this time he is Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, is very popular with his workmen, and highly respected by the whole community in which he lives.

Many others who hold prominent positions in this great business in New Haven, first came here with me when I moved from Bristol.

I should mention Philip Pond, an excellent man who left the business two or three years since, on account of his health, but who is now connected in the wholesale grocery business of the firm of Pond, Greenwood & Lester, in this city.

Also Charles L.
Griswold, now a bit and augur maker in the town of Chester, who began to work for me twenty years ago, when a boy.
