Tho signs "Open All Night" and Never closAS.
are becoming less rare continually, ana nsv
branches Of industry are being added 10 TIA oM
time all-night trafhc. Tho druggist, the unds,.
taker and tho dealer in solid and liquid resnsh.
ments had tho monopoly for a long time. ona -
the first additions to the recognized nll-nght pac.
was tho dental parlor." which was opened IN Tia
hotel district. Tho illuminated sign caused much
continent at first, but other aii-nlgh. dsn,sf
onices were opened. and II became EVIDENT that q
| permanent addition had been made TO the LAT a.
| night toilers
"Our place Is frequently visited by people VIM
have no need for q dentists services" said an All.
night dentist. I'VE are asked 10 paint discolcrA
faces and to make people presertable whose faces
show signs OF having been roughly dealt WITH
and We even have calls from who think that
keep corps OF BARRIERS. We have often helped
people who have been in distress because Of broken
brace or instrument without which they could not
be about; but the who come TO be painted ana
shaven have TO 60 elsewhere. But many man
who came to town at hour when dentists cfice.
were closed has found relief from hours of suffer.
ing and inconvenience by coming here and We have
many regular customers, also, who live IN New
York, and save time by having their regular dental
work done at night"
THE DRESS-SUIT LENDERS
Tho dress-suit parlor" IS another all-nght bust.
ress OF recent origin There have long been places
where evening clothes could be hired but only re-
Gently have any of these establishments adopted ths
all-night way of doing business. I'VE rarely have
a customer for evening suit after midnight"
said the proprietor Of one OF these establishments
"and We keep our place open after that hour not
much to give out as to receive back prop

turn the garments as possible. and we
make it an object to them by charging less II re-
turned that night than tho next morning, keeping
the place open ell night TO accommodate them"
There are places also where one may have tho
services Of stenosrapher and typewriter at any
hour Of the night. The business done by these
places IS growing constantly. BY spending an
evening in an uptown Office OF this kind. one can
form an idea Of the amount Of clerical work that
is done after the regular business hours. One
night recently eight men were kept busy until
dawn making q copy OF Specifications for soms
Government work. The document had TO be ready
for delivery at o'clock the next morning and the
"al-nght" typewriting Office, with corps OF
| rapid writer's, made IL possible. In cases where
attachments seizures are TO be made early IN
! the day. and facts in the cases were not known
until after Office hours. these typewriter Offices
also called Upon I ana a sorts hours s Th s1f s

pared and mailed, so that their constituents may
receive them with the first mail.
NIGHT WORK FOR TYPEWRITERs

writer. Some OF men sleep here and. while
they may have little to DO sometimes. they are
oyercrowded with work many nights, ard they can
never know what will turn up next. People from
the hotels come TO dictate private letters newspa
