Senator Robert M. LaFollette, of

came up in an automobile. He was
late in arriving, and 1t was nearly

big Corbin car came down the street
toward the Camfield at the rate OF
about 40 miles an hour.
City Marshal Williams saw the fly

with his own Cadillac. and pulled
up at the hotel at about the same

ADVERTISING SIGNS IN GREELEY
ARE FAST IMPROVING
LATEST IS A MOVING sign
Greeley Steam Laundry Starts New
Fra In Up-tO-date Ideas In At.
trscting Trade. History
Of Greeiey's Business
Signs In Brief

The Greeley Steam Laundry has
put up the first motion" sign in
the city. That fact opens up q bit
of retrospect on the evolution of the
advertising sign in Greeley. Fine
progress has been made In the de-
velopment of ideas in that direction.
1t 10 not 10 many years ago since
the monstrosities in the way Of signs
clear across the sidewalk, proclaimed
Greeley as the green village. These
finally had to go, and in their stead
the sign painters ingenuity was tax
ed for signs at the outer edge of the
sidewalk and over entrances. Some
of these effects were not bad. but
we're still amateurish.
Next began some fine gilded signs
over entrances and things began to
take on q more modern appearance
About three years ago the first
electrically illuminated sign appear
ed. 1t was matter OF dispute % to
who put up the first sign Of this kind
the Thompson Clothing company or
the Greeley Electrical Supply COM
pany, and the question will still be
open SO far as this story is con-
cerned. But those two signs marked
the new era in that form of attract
ing business.
| The next important step was when
the opera house put on the changing
electric sign, where letters formed
by incandescent lights spell out thu
word theatre" one letter cosnfAl
on 1t . time until the whole wor,
stands out brilliantly. That Is pro
badly still the most effective sigl
in the city.
A still later step in the evolution
was the placing of the great electric
sign on the Camfield hotel. which
not alone can be seen and read from
distance of many miles. but throw:
a reflection thousands of feet into
the air. There the climax of the
electric sign is found for the pres
ent.
1t is probably that the new NOV
ing sign that II. F. Hurlbut has just
put up marks the beginning of new
line of advertising signs that may
be carried to considerable length in
Greeley.
This is only small sign. abou,
two feet in height. set on a pivot
ball bearing. and revolving slowly o'
rapidly according to the force of the
breeze. On each of the three sides
of the sign is painted in blue letters
on white background the single
word. LAUNDRY.

MAYORS PROCLAMATION WAN
RESCINDED LAST MONDAY
SITUATION VAS ALARMING
Fully $50 Dogs Have Beea KILLED
and Twenty A6ea Fined for
Violatioa Of Mussling
Or1inance.-It's
History

Figuratively speaking, last Mon
day the shackles that have 20 long
bound Greeley dogs, were strick-
en- off by a proclamation by the city
marshal. that hereafter our pet
canine may look US in the face with
out straining his view through the
meshes Of q birdcage, or some mon
strous looking leather muzzle.
In plain English last Monday you
could remove the muxzle from your
dog without the danger of also hav-
ing $3.50 removed from your pocket.
The ban ON the open-faced dog
began April % of the present year
when Mayor Green proclaimed that
henceforth and forever, until further
notice, everything that barked and
| wore hair ON its back must be mus
\ zled upon pain of death to the AMI
NAL or even worse, a heavy fine to
the owner.
Since then the city has caused to
be killed 100 dogs, about 40 more
have been killed by individuals, and
20 men have been fined for violation
of the order. Very few good dogs
where a dog of any value was found
unmuzzled the owner was found by
the city marshal or his men, and the
fine imposed and the dog allowed to
live.
There has been considerable talk
about there being NO necessity for
1.-The muxxling order, bat investigation
! Dh0wo that the conditions we're mnc1
more serious than the general pub
lie realized. Something like 25 dog
went bad, some children were bit
ten and more would undoubtedly
have suffered had the lid not been
put on tight at once. when the ami
mails in town began to show SYM
ptoms of rabias. One dog alone that
went mad. bit one child and later
other dogs tnat the police were able
to trace. All the seven dogs showed
dangerous symptoms and were kill
ed.
Whether or not any of the dogs
killed were actual victims of hydro
phobia. is up to the local scientists
1t is certain that it was much bet
ter for the safety of the public to
have those animals killed
For two or three months there
have been no further indications OF
rabias among the dogs and it is now
considered safe to rescind the order
OF the mayor.
One good effect the order has had.
is the ridding of the city of about
$50 worthless ours that have made
themselves a nuisance here for years.
