we'll, while still others did q good

lows. The Inside Inn is said to have
made good money while the Tyrolean
Alps which comes next in receipts, is
said TO have lost money, owing to its
expensive installation and heavy oper-
attng expenses. Such shows as Jim

SIGNS ARE OLD.
In Ancient Greece They Were Used
on Busfness Houses.


The custom of marking a business
house by means Of IA sign is of very
ancient origin. In the great cities Of the
east and among the ancient Egyptians
such practice must have been unnec-
essary, ms all trades were classified
and confined 10 certain sections Of the
city, and then all wares were exposed
to full view. rs they were displayed in
open booths.
The history of Grecian signbOards Is
mcagcr. yet the illusions of Aris-
tophanes and Lucian to signboards war
rant our belief in their use by the
Greeks. Athcnnus tells us, "Ie hung

of them, for the small price that is

there are also membership duties that
