er Closed" are becoming less rare continu-
ally, and new branches of industry are be-
e ing added TO the old time all night traffic.
[ The druggist, the undertaken and the deal
or in solid and liquid refreshments had the
monopoly for a long time. One of the
first additions TO the recognized all night
,slces was the dental parlor," which was
opened in the hotel district. The illu-
minated sign caused much comment at
first, but soon other all night dental offices
were opened, and il became evident that u
permanent addition had been made TO the
list Of night toilers
Our place is frequently visited by pco-
2 pie who have no need for DENTISTS serv-
ices, " said an all night dentist 1--WE are
asked TO paint discolorcd faces and To
make people presentablo whose faces show
signs of having been roughly dealt with,
and we even have calls from men who
think that we keep a corps Of BARRIERS. We
have often helped people who have been in
distress because of broken brace or in
strumcnt without which they could not be
about But the men who come 10 be
painted and shaved have TO go elsewhere
Many man who came TO town at an
hour when dentists offices were closed has
found relief from hours of suffering and
inconvcnince ty coming here, and we have
many regular customers also who live i'm
| New York and save time by having their
regular dental work done at night
There are places also where one may
have the services of stenographor and
! typewriter at any hour of the night The
business done by these places is growing
constantly. BY spending an evening in
an mp town 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 a copy of
specifications for some government work.
The document had TO be ready for delivery
at O'Clock the next morning, and the
"all night typewriting office, with a corps
of rapid writer's, made it possible. In
cases where attachments or seizures are to
be made early in the day and facts in the
cases were not known until after office
hours, these typewriter offices are also
called upon, and all sorts of legal work are
ratified off on the machines at hours when
few typewriting machines are available.
1T would be hard to enumerate all the |
work which comes TO this Office said an |
all night typewriter. "Some of our men |
sleep here, and, while they may have little |
10 do sometimes, they are Oyorcrowded |
with work many nights, and they can |
never know what will turn up next. Peo-
PIE from the hotels come TO dictate private
letters. Newspaper men who send New
York letters TO out of town papers wait till |
the last moment and then come here to
dictate the stuff. "
The out of town buyers are good Gus
toners for the night offices They spend
their days in the wholesale district and 30
TO the theaters and see the sights with
statesmen ut night, and when they reach
their hotels early in the morning feel lit
tie like writing business letters TO them
the all night offices, where they can dictate
letters and tell how hard they have been
working and how fatigucd they are from
their days excrtions, are a source of great
comfort.
