NORTH ATTLEBORO
Willard B. Sunderland, of Los Angeles, Cal., a former resident here, is renewing acquaintances in the town, and brings word and greetings from a number of former North Attleboro residents who have removed to the coast. Mr. Sunderland, who represented the local silverware concern of F. M. Whiting & Co. in the a west for a number of years, now handles the lines of a group of eastern jewelry and silver houses, and his brother, Daniel Sunderland, is associated with him. St. Elmo Coombs, a former local young man, who was associated with the Paye & Baker Mfg. Co. is employed by Mr. Sunderland as a salesman. Mr. Sunderland, who is on an extended business trip, predicts that the jewelry and silver houses of this country will do a fine holiday business this year, and that means a boom in the Fall. He states that the fruit producers and farmers throughout the west are looking forward to a bumper season. Speaking of some of the former residents from this section, Mr. Sunderland states that he frequently meets Frank O. Coombs, formerly a member of the Massachusetts legislature, who is now living in Los Angeles, where he is in good health and working at his old trade of engraving. Frank Darling, another former North Attleboro man, is also in Los Angeles, and is working at the jewelry trade. Mr. Darling was in poor health, Mr. Sunderland says, when he first went to California several years ago, but is now in good health.
