Good Art and Good Business.

Signs are necessity of business
life. Whether that necessity is dis
tressing or agreeable rests with the
community. A public which viii tol-
crate ugly signs may do so; a public
which demands signs that are in good
taste and beautiful in themselves can
have them. This is lesson which We
can learn of Europe. Frequently some
one comes home from abroad bringing
poster ON soft colors, of distin-
guished design, which might pass as a
reproduction of q gallery picture or a.
stained glass window. Hazarding this
guess we are informed that it Is an
ordinary playful, or advertising post,

simplest form the sign is label. 1t ist

where Mr.. Hodge sells groceries. But,
then Mr.. Hodge, by way Of intimatiTaf
that he sells more and choicer gro

only by the size OF the store fronts9

The movies" (bsrhaps we should
omit the quotation marks, the word is
working into the language so fast) are
considered strictly twentieth-century
development. Hereis an amusement adj
vertisement which appeared in the
public prints In England exactly 101
years ago:
'At the Duke Of Mariborough's
Head in Fleet street, is now to be
seen a new invented machine, COM
posed of FIVE curious pictures, with
moving figures, representing the his
tory of the heather gods, which move
as artificially as if living; the like not
seen before in Europe. The whole
contains near an hundred figures, be-
side ships, beasts, fish, fowl and other
embellishments, some near a foot in
hight; all of which have their respec-
tive and peculiar motions, their very
heads, legs a nd arms, hands and fin
gers, artificially moving to what they
perform, and setting one foot before
another like living creatures, in such
a manner that nothing but nature can
excel it. 1t will continue to be seen
every day from 10 in the morning un-
til 10 at night
This will probably hold you for a
while, although it must be admitted
that the moving pictures of 1912 were
different in mechanism and extent
from these which play so large part

had his troubles with the authorities.
and was warned, on pain of imprison-
ment and the confiscation of his print
ing plant, never to publish anything
about the political affairs of the col

followed the publication of an article
which Bradford explained had been
inserted by a journeyman printer
without his knowledge. Bradford had
other disputes with the powers that
ruled Philadelphia, and on one occa-
sion was committed to prison. but
was released.

"Prisoners!" pushing, striking, and
dragging the exhausted cuirassiers
from their saddles. But contact with

revive the fury of the armored riders.
