A SIGNMAKER'S LAMENT.

Any person anxious to know what has be-

conists' shops inviting customers to enter,
are all on dusty shelves il the storeroonls.
''They are all gone out said a signnalier,
ruefully looking over his collection. True,
the idea of painting tobacconists' signs white
and making them look weird and ghost Ike
revived that particular sign for time and
brought back same of its old time effective

to the past. About all we sell nowadays are

costly he was afraid it would tempt thieves.
''But business in other kinds of signs is
brisk enough" he continued. We make
them of wood, iron, glass, mirrors. porcelain,
copper, wire. silk, velvet and plush. The
signs in this city, as a whole, are second in
artisticness only to those in New York, and
that city's signs are second to none. The
tendency is all toward display, with as much
gold and glitter as possible. wouldn't dare
guess how many hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of gold leaf the signmakers of
the country use up il year. Carved signs
are the most expensive. It's no uncommon
thing for a merchant to plaster 81 500 TO
$4,000 worth of signs ON the front Of his
store "-Chicago Times.
