building will be erected at once Miss
Huntington will be the first lessee; all agree

per advertising, and thinks-like the good
manager generation or two ago-that it
is quite sufficient for him to come to town
to draw crowded houses. Repeated failure
to do SO does not seem to open Mr.. Dufss
eyes to the fact that newspaper advertise
