finely located land. It is fitted with handsome
buildings and all the equipment of
a modern farm. For many years Mr.

milk in the city, and also dealt in cattle,
which busy occupations brought him a
competence. He has turned attention to
other interests, and is now secretary of
the Walter Hubbard Realty Company,
which handles property in Meriden and

bard of the former city. Mr. Davis is
