BRASS SIGNS IN NEW YORK.
Probably Half n Million Dollars Invested

Probably Half n Million Dollars Invested
In This Sort of Ornamentation.
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 on 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,
commercial New York is city of brass
signs.
The other day South Fifth avenue
maker was asked IL he could give an es-
innate of the amount of money invested
in these standing ads. " of metal.
"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 l 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 aud long signs beneath the big
show windows. A display OF that sort
represents an outlay of from anywhere
between $500 and So, O0o From the To-
cal business our firm does and from a
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. -

other rubbish, when used for this
purpose, will ruin the best road ever
constructed.
I3 Remember that water worn
or rounded stones should never he
used upon steep gradients, or the y
will fail to bind together.
Ia. Never allow dust or mud to
lie on the surface, for either of these
will double the cost of maintenance.
IS. Recollect that dust becomes
mud at the first shower, and that
mud forms wet blanket which will
keep the road in filthy condition
for weeks at time, instead of al.
lowing it to dry in few hours.
I6 Remember that the middle of
the road should always be a little
higher than the sides, so that rain
may run into the side cutters at
once.
II. Never allow the water tables,
cutters and bitches to clog up, but
keep them clear the whole year
through.
Every roadmaster and supervisor
should cut these rules out and paste
them i'll his everyday hat. To make
good road is one thing, and to
keep it in good repair is quite an
other thing.
The fine roads in Europe are the
result of splendid repair system,
where every defect is promptly cor
rected before it has time to cause
