PECULIAR BUSINESS
CARD FOR A LAWYER

THERE are all sorts and varieties of
business cards used by all sorts
. and varieties of business men.
They vary in every detail, too. ranging
from the large printed sign urging one to
please Help the Blind TO the neatly
engraved bit of pasteboard of the pro-
fessional man.
Members of this latter class rarely en-
ploy originality in the designing Of their
cards, most of them considering that to
do so would lessen the dignity of their
profession. Such. however. is not the
case with a western lawyer. who passed
through this city last week.
He halls from Ohio, does this lawyer.
and there he has a large clientele. There
is nothing unusual or peculiar about this
fac, but not only unusual ard peculiar,
but striking original as well. are his
ideas concerning law. lawyers. judges and
legal matters generally.
And that he has rne coura re OF his con-
vic,ions is evidenced by his professional
cards, which he distributed with lavish
