lated by the indianapolis Press: Miss
Violet Florida Waters, in the amateur per;
formance by the Histrion club of Camille

Gus command of stage technique that many
a professional might envy. Ii is safe to pre-
dict for this gifted youpng lady that if she
ever choose to adopt the stage as career
her name will become one OF the famous
ones in dramatic history"
From the Daily Grind, May y, 1900;
"The Plugalong repertoire company opened

A clothing merchant in lower Broadway
had a big lot of clothes that he had bought
at bargain, and by putting a price OF $l5
on each he thought they would sell rapidly,
for they were of exceptionally good value
for that money. He put one of the suits on
form and set it il, front OF his store with a

This announced the price. Then he and his
clerks prepared to do rushing business
The hours passed and no one came in to buy
the suits. This caused the merchant to won.

and take look at the sample suit and lCuS sign.
This is what he found on the sign: These
