TO MAKE A
GREAT WHITE WAY
Business Streets May Be
Made Brilliant.

Among the plans that are being
worked out for the improvement of
the appearance of the business sec
ton of Americas there is one that
promises, if it receives the support of
the business men, to make that part
of the city veritable Great White
Way"
Tue Americus Railway and Light
Company is in correspondence with
the manufacturers of e1ectric signs,
with the purpose of making espec-
tally attractive offers to merchants to
display such advertisements in front
of their places of business. 1t is
proposed to secure attractive designs
and to make special low rates for the
electricity used for Illuminating signs,
with the hope that merchants will
take advantage of the opportunity to
secure a very catchy ad and at the
same time brighten up the appear
ance of the business portion of the
city.
President Walker is also working on
great electric sign for the Office of
the company which will be one of the
largest electric signs in Georgia. 1t
will probably be installed within nine
ty days and will do much to iIlumi-
nate the Windsor hotel block on jack
son street.
Electric signs are very popular in
other cities and have made a
great change i'll their business sec
tions With the streets made bril-
liant at nights by means of these
signs, combined with the regular
city lights, the public is induced to-
make promenade of such streets
