CHICAGO'S BILLBOARDS AND
OTHERS

boards in the city of Chicago was

first general checking up ever made
there
Every billboard in the city of Chi
cago pays tax, under the form of
billboard license
When the work of inspection is
completed the city will have card

board in the city. and, under the in
spection system, every board which
does not comply with the citys laws
will be removed
The inspectors, in all cases where
the boards or signs are found to be
dilapidated, will cause the boards
either to be repaired or torn down.
Billboards put up without sufficient
consent by frontage owners are also
to be torn down.

argument in Chicago? What about

It does not concern the bread and

forward by the King of the Billboard

concerned with reformers or news
papers.
The issue IS, does the board Of
supervisors intend to enforce its own
laws or not?
Nothing about esthetics appears in

Love is easily swayed against it,
to visit the instalment furniture hou
do" and no man could have resisted
Gertrude's ideas of nest to harbor
newlyweds.
Then, too, Gertrude was a good
bargainer. The rug of oriental pat
tern that they selected for the tiny
diningroom was priced $3.50, but
after fifteen minutes argument the
salesman let them have it at SIS.
And it was so with the rest of the
things. The diningroom table had to
be a round one with massive carved
base and the only one that anywhere
nearly suited Gertrude was $50, but
another half hour brought the price
down to $25.
Still, Harold was staggered at the
total cost of furnishing three rooms.
'Tt isn't possible the bill comes to
$500, Gertrude, he said, aghast,
''Why, there are any number Of
things we cannot get on time that
will be necessary In addition to this. /
Don't you think it is too much?"
But Gertrude was optimistic. Her
mother had always purchased every
thing this way and without trouble.
Besides, there were other stores
where the things Harold was think
ing of could also be bought on the
instalment basis.
They were married, and though
the three little rooms selected SEEM

On the eighth trip to the furniture
house Gertrude had to stand behind

ency.

The cashier was unmoved. 1--WE

Despairingfy, the woman broke in
to a trade of abuse and was hustled
out of the store.
The cashier smiled at Gertrude.
Some of them try to impose on us"
he said. 1--WE got to be mighty care
full or they'd put it over on US"
Gertrude did not reply. A chilly
feeling of apprehension swept over
her heart, as she wondered if they
would deal the same way with her.
Sooner than she expected the ques-
ton was answered.
Harold came home one night with
a cold, but stubbornly refused to take
any medicine. He couldn't bother
