of some of the merchants. Some of the latter
conceived the brilliant idea of using the signs of
the state headquarters for advertising purposes,
and such signs as New York Headquarters

their doors. The saloon keepers took readily 70
the scheme, and now the visitors viii be SIR
prsed to the saloons decorated vita the
headquarter signs Of prominent states.
