The Billboard Must Go!

The ladies of the Outdoor Circle of Honolulu make
the following announcements
Some time ago they decided that far as they could
bring about such result The Billboard Must CO. Col
ectivcly they have urged advertisers keep of the
boards aud individually they have warned patrons of
the boards that they would not buy commodities adver
sed in this way So successful have they been in their
efforts that nearly all the responsible local have
ceased billboard advertising. the ground that such adj

The ladies OF the Circle base their opposition to bill

make Honolulu beautiful and the billboards inter

The constant argument which they present is:
eve are trying to make Honolulu better place to
live in, by making it more beautiful place 10 live in
Won't you help us w
The success achieved has convinced the ladies that
all that is necessary to eliminate bboards entirely from
Honolulu, is to bring home TO the people who use this
means of advertising these two facts viz:
!. That the people of Honolulu do not want bill
boards in their city: and
{. 9 That so large number Of people in Honolulu re-
fuse TO buy goods advertised biboards that this kin
of advertising not only does not promote sales but posi-
lively prevents them.
