quaint phrase of his used in advertising his
business, ''the greatest sign painter this side
of the equator" and his use of the term
"foreordained" in his advertisements and
bulletins, attached themselves to his person
atty and in general way, and the public
always expected something original and novel
from his advertisements. His sign and ban
ner painting lofts were filed with banners

humorous side of them. He leaves many
friends who will miss him and recall his
memory,

ings this season a sacred regard for the Sab
bath has been observed and number of
features which had been introduced in times
past have been omitted during the present
