BRASS SIGNS IN NEW YORK.

Probably Half Million Dollars Invested
In This Sort of characterization.
A stroll along Broadway early in the
morning discloses an army Of men en-
gagged in polishing the brass signs that
flank the entrance of the stores, and the
same sight may be noted Oh Sixth ave-
nue. or any Of the other principal bust
ness streets. Walk down one of these
thoroughfares an hour later, and the
rays Of the sun, reflected from thou
sands of FURNISHED surfaces, made bright
for the day by vigorous rubbing, dance
about you and dazzle your eyes. In fact,
I commercial New York is a city of brass
signs.
| The other day South Fifth avenue
maker was asked if he could give an es-
! innate Of the amount Of money invested
In these 'standing ads. p" of metal.
!; ssgz"Well, he replied, "a door sign Of
brass costs from $25 to $3.50, according
to its size, lettering and border designs.
OF course you can get small Office signs
for less money, but I am speaking Of
those used by merchants, bankers and
that class Of people. Take some large
stores, and you will notice they are lit
orally bordered with brass signs at the
entrances and long signs beneath the big
show windows. A display OF that sort
represents an outlay of from anywhere
between $500 and $4,000. From the To-
cal business our firm does and from q
general knowledge of how our rivals are
getting on, have no hesitancy in say
ing that commercial New York city has
$500, 900 invested in brass signs. ~

Lack Of opportunity to smoke is with.

large proportion Of men are employed
in offices. stores and shops where rules

smoker ever smokes while working. To
do that is to debase the luxury and to
take off the keen edge of the pleasure.
It is intemperance and dissipation. The

Is allowable to smoke half a dozen with

incur endless disorders Of the nervous
