Plan to Advertise
City Better With

There is some talk among local
prosperity hustlers to place some ad
vertising matter at the union depot
concerning this city and valley.
Some people coming through this city
have hard time finding out the
name of the place unless they hap
pen to see the terra Gotta letters on
the front of the depot.
One plan is to utilize a dead win
dow space at the southwest corner
of the depot on the outside wall,
which has been bricked up and plas-
tered since the building was con-
structed. The talk is to have big
sign made to fit that space, if the
