OF COURSE Dad's a fine fellow and deserves a comfortable, well- lighted chair. But how about Mother and the rest of the family -are not their eyes worth as much as his? So why not have a well- lighted chair for everyone? Then you can all enjoy many happy eve- nings at home.

Since the death of the father in 1927, the firm has incorporated, with George L. Rocheford as President and Treasurer. The President of the firm has had twenty-seven years' experience, starting at the age of sixteen under the guidance of his father, then a superin- tendent.


A few of the larger buildings erected by this firm are the Junior High School, Grafton St., Worcester, Mass. $1,250,000. This school was reported to be the largest Junior High School in the state. This firm also built the Gardner High School, the cost of which was $600,000, and the present Junior High School, Providence St., Worcester, Mass., the cost of which will be $900,000.

AN ACCOMPLISHMENT


The Catholic people of Western New England may well be proud of the splendid record of achievement as exemplified in this Centenary edition of The MIRROR.


As distributors of one of New England's fine milks, the Chas. A. Nash Company, too, feels that it has accomplished a real service to a large per- centage of the Catholic people of New England.


It is our aim to keep this faith through the years to come by constantly improving our facilities as new methods are developed.

Good Bread for Children!


WHAT would you do without them . . . . those wonderful children of yours ? Their health is more precious than priceless pearls . ... and must be far more jealously guarded.


Every item of diet is so important to children . . .. and the bread particularly so.


You must be sure that the bread you buy for your children is made with good rich milk, and that all the other ingredients are as wholesome and nourishing as you would use if you baked the bread yourself.


Every loaf of Hathaway's Bread is highest quality . ... made from good, rich milk,


highest grade blended flours, the best shorten- ing, yeast, sugar and salt .... the very same ingredients you would use!


That's why it has such a fine, close-grained texture, with no large holes. That's why, too, that it has such a delicious, wholesome flavor. You can just taste the nourishment in every bite! And you'll find that it goes much farther . . . is much more "satisfying!"


Your grocer gets Hathaway's Bread each day, fresh from our ovens, so it's bound to be fresh when you get it. Order a loaf and see how much better it is!
