anticipation of citizenship and his
business prosperity have been about
equal in Antonio, an upper west side

growing in him, however, through OBJ
servation of the effects on his patrons
of sign card devised by himself, as
the result of his study Of English un-
der the tutorship of the boys who
play about his corner. The sign was
posted with the advent of cold weather,
and reads:
