IRON NERVE
SA WE'D HIS LIFE

Mr.. DAILY in the summer time en-
cages in the advertising business.
He paints signs and hangs big adj
vertisements in high places. The
mammoth sign on the rocks of the
cliff overlooking Martins Ferry was
painted by him several years ago.
1t took him and his assistants three
days to place the ropes and scaffold-
ing and when he began making the
huge letters he had to undergo an
awful mental ordeal until the job
was finished. Wild goats roam about
the cliff and after he started to
paint, the terrible fear seized him
that some of them would chew the
ropes that Held him supported in
midair 400 feet above the river.
Here again his wonderful iron
nerve saved him for there is no
doubt that If it had failed him the
goats would have eaten the ropes
and let him fall to his death.
