The citizen who from necessity or
otherwise clings TO his city haunts In
the height Of summer IL coming to
realize that a great consolation has
dropped into his life In the shape Of the
electric fan. The most enterprising
BARRIERS are Fastening TO increase the
comfort of their customers by installing
these fans in their saloons, and they
find their business stimulated to an un-
precedented extent. The proprietors Of
restaurants are also falling into line,
and the man about town is not slow to
show his preference for resort where
he can fulfill the wants OF the inner man
IN perfect comfort, though the ther.

breaking heights.
A new restaurant that not many weeks

entirely new attachment. Instead of
the usual permanent fixture globe Of
metal is suspended by three chains from
the roof near one Of the walls, and in

the electric fan should not be universally
adopted by those who cater to the hun
ger and thirst of the public.
One of the best down town restau-
rants in New York, which in ordinary
weather Is crowded throughout the year,
is comparatively deserted on hot days
because of its imperfect ventilation. A
party Of its steady frequenters who re-

nonce to cooler quarters were discussing
over the midday lunch the question of
electric fans as an investment. They
calculated that If their favorite resort
were fitted with these handy breeze COM
pellers, the expense Of the installation
would be covered by custom thus re-
tanned within one week. The latest ap-
plication of this godsend to the city man
Is to bedrooms. BY its use the most
