RED FRONT RACKET.
Everybody Knows the Red Front
| Racket is the large sign that greets the
/ tired pedestrians as they stumble up
against the counter of the booth of Tapp
Bros & Hanshaw. No special art has
been used to decorate this booth, al
though care has been taken to make the
interior comfortable for the guests of the
Fair. Numerous chairs have been placed
and the women who need rest are cor
daily invited to step In and remain as
long as they choose. No goods are dis
played, and all the advertising GOT out of
it is that made plain by the big sign and
the comfort which the booth gives to pa
irons Of the fair and the store. OF course,
they win remember the RED Front and
Its kindness.
