In the cities and villages they tarry
collecting local photographs, post
cards or other mementoes of their
journeyings. or making other pur-
chases. A provision of such public
comfort stations as this circular sug-
gests will, it is believed. help to some
extent the places of business in which
they are placed. and will furnish one
more reason why our visitors will re-
member us with kindly feelings The
good repute of the State of Maine
should be dear to our hearts: so it is
hoped that here, in the extreme East.
we may join hands with our country
men in the farthest West in push
ing this good work.

of Health will furnish these signs
without cost to any person or firm
which will fit up for. the use of their
