ORIGIN OF SIGNS USED IN TRADE

The last survivors of the old trade
signs are few, but they cling to life so
tenaciously that the probability is that
they will stay for good. The old style
swinging signs that protruded from the
sides of the houses, and on windy days
had an unpleasant habit of crashing
down on the heads of any citizen who
happened to be struggling home, says
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, have hap
PLY been swept away by the march Of
progress. But We still have with us
the BARRIERS pole. the pawnbroker's
golden globular triplets, the tobacco
lists wooden Indian and the gold beat
er'S golden arm, with shirt sleeves rolled
up to the shoulder, disclosing a massive
muscle, with sinewy fingers grasping
goldbeater's hammer. The origin of
these signs is Il matter of great interest
to the people who pass them daily and
know nothing Of the significance of their
construction.
An interesting story is told in connec-
ton with the familiar red, yellow and
green vases that brighten windows Of
drug stores. The custom of placing them
there originated with an apothecary
who found himself one night minus the
red light with which tradesmen of his
class We're accustomed to Ornamen:
their store fronts. To make up the de-
ficiency he got bottle Of red liquid and
put a candle behind il. The effect
pleased him so well that he decided to
improve ii by placing second red light
in the window with the aid of another
bottle of red mixture and an additional
candle. This sign made such a brave
showing that an enViouS rival cast
about for means OF improving on the
sign. He hit upon the scheme of placing
a bottle colored With yellow fluid beside
the red one. and then surpassed his pre-
vious efforts and carried all before him
by placing a green bottle beside the yell

VINO pass beneath TIE three gilt balls
into the sorrowful interior OF a,'paWn
brokers' shop stop to consider the mean
ing of the yellow sign, and they would
ind little comfort in the investigation
if they did. The paWnbroker' symbol
came from the sign used by the Lombard
bankers who took it from the sign
used by the Medici family of Florence.
The founder of the house had been
medicus or physician; his descendants
became bankers and brokers, and the
sign they adopted was based on the pills
that We're dispensed by their ancestors.
As they had become rich in their calling
it was necessary that the pills should
express something more than the mere
decoctions of physician, SO they We're
done In gold, and in that shape the three
pills can be seen swinging over the
premises Of every paWnbroker today.
The golden pills were used as a, coat of
arms for the descendants of the Medici
family, who became mobiles, but it is not
probable that any family of noble birth
ana -to-date ideas has continued the
use of three balls as its heraldic device.
Among the armies of unshorn individ-
uals who daily seek the familiar red and
white sign of the barber few know the
meaning of the parti-colOr of the pole.
Probably not one barber IN hundred
could tell you himself what the colors
signify. The origin of the sign dates
back to the days when bleeding was the
favorite remedy of physicians for most
of the ills that flesh is heir to. When

of that day, If successful in taking the
city, should, like the British, seize the
bells, the citizens shipped them away
to Columbia, the state capital. No more
unfortunate action could have been
taken, for in the disastrous conflagra-
ton which attended General Sherman's
occupation of the South Carolina capt.
tai the bells of old ST. Michael's suffered
sorely. Their misshapen fragments res
cued from the ruins were sent again to
England to be recast in molds made from
the original patterns. This done, and
the wanderers returned and lying at the
wharf, the Charlestonians discovered
that only the payment of $1,000 to ma
tional government charitably disposed
to protect its own bell-makers would give
them right of entrance. In that day $22O0
was no meagre sum for the people of
battle-scarred Charleston to raise for a
public purpose. but in the end 1t was sub
scribed. and the bells hang again in old

This large number Is Occasioned by the
fact that thousands of pennies are lost
annually, and the government has some
difficulty in maintaining a supply. The
