In addition to the great benefit these
markets are to the eager purchasers,
they provide neat income to the con-

to a single ccnsignor for the period
the market has been In existence was
s173, so and the second largest amount'
ed to $171.26.

been the efficient secretary for the

of the public spirited women of the
city as chairman. Mrs. Butcher has
received material assistance from
many of the members Of the club in

The money derived from the. market
Is used in promoting various objects
Of a civic, moral and economic nature.
The committee recently furnished and
equipped completelya handsome room

same over to the Woman's club and
this will be turned over by the club
to the hospital. The room which is

that good wine needs no BUSH Duly

Sometimes the bush was green and
sometimes it's green age had passed,
and the tavern or taproom symbol was

THAI a dry brush of pine or other ever

In the years before reading and
writing came to be almost universal
accomplishments nearly every branch
of business had it's peculiar symbol as
a sign of what line of trade was car

1t is only recently that the wooden

No matchmaker would think of doing

After the passing of many of the SYM
bols of business, merchants began to
paint signs and to hang signs in such
a way as to disfgure and even obs
an opposition TO some forms OF street
signs. especially overhanging signss
which blew down and injured pedes<

and the street signs came in. Some
