Observation-Disclosures Of the adver'
Using signs in the foreign sections OF
the city present many humorous
phases of business activities. They
are inartistic, in bad taste. and seem
to display a generous amount OF lg'
nOrance or carclessness-but such is
not the case.
Investigation has disclosed the fact
that those signs. at least most OF
them, serve as business getters. They
are the mediums which bring and
hold the foreigners together, and they
attract hundreds of up-to-date Amer.
leans, who think those signs stand
for just what they want. The adver.
Using in the foreign districts, how
ever crude it may seem, is In many
respects more Up to date than what is
used downtown. Many Of the foreign.
ers-and many in the foreign districts
are matured Americans-cOuld pre-
pare or order as pretty signs as seen
anywhere, but this would spoil the
business ! n those districts, and the old
signs are retained.
A man on West Washington street,
blacksmith by trade, and n who
looks every bit a foreigner, is well
educated. He knows every word IN
the English language adapted to his

print the capital and small letters OF
