Small boys took liberties of erasure
and auendation with these signs often
with extremely ludicro,ls results and
sometimes with an effect very embar-
raising to the unwary reader. This
sort of advertising. never of great
value, has gone with the advent OF
wire fencing and the passing of the
nine fence boards that went long ago
where the great pine forests of the
north have gone. The advertiser has
learned that popular inquiry is not OF
who has goods to sell, but of what is
for sale, and at what prices.

HORSE OR MOTOR CAR?


The growing number of motor We
hcles and the different uses to which
they are being adapted has been look
ed upon by horsemen as a menace to
the horse industry. When the applica-
ton of cables and electricity to urban
transit lines killed the demand for
street car horses, the same fears ana
prognostications of disaster to the horse
business were awakened, but subsidized
as the demand for horses grew. The
question of the motor cars VS.. the horse
is likely to be settled the same way.
The Drovers' Journal notes that at
recent horse sale in Chicago many ami
mails sold at range of $500 to $1,000.
and gated saddle horses made an aver
age of $500 The entire sale was char
an active consumption of good horses
and a disposition to pay fair prices
for them. The same urgent demand
has featured other sales in other cities
and should operate as an incentive to
horse raisers TO study hard and work
diligently to produce the sort of ami
mails that there Is such ready de-
mand for at such good prices. Does
not this pronounced activity In the
reaction from the motor car fad, and d
drift back to the horse? Those who are
willing to pay $500 to 5000 for single
horse can well afford to own motor
cars If they choose. and when they
choose the horse, 1t seems to be the sign
of a subsistence of the craze for the
horseless turnout that ought to en-
courage horsemen of all degrees.

In the business district of Manhattan.
owing to its conformation, the horse IS
more in the way than is the case in
any other large American city. On
cross streets like Spring, Prince, Grand,
Canal Fulton, and Cortlandt, and on
thoroughfares running north and south,
like West. Washington, and Green
wich and even Broadway, traffic is
frequently blocked for long periods by
an overloaded team, or a single horse
that falls on the ice. Time is money
in New York and IL the DELAYS caused
by the imperfections of the horse as a
draft machine could be computed. the
total would be staggering. The more
