hand upon Its fair proportions: Its rs had
grown dim, its body was decayed, and ln-
slant dissolution threatened it with every
storm. 1t had earned an honorable dis
charge. The new sign is now in position

within the building it adorns. The sign Is
one of the neatest in the Valley, and credit
to its designers-M essrs. Newman 4 Pruitt.
