CITY HALL SIGNS GOOD ADS FOR
CoMMONWEALT HEDISON


COMMONWEALTHEp EDISON
In the opinion of a sales manager
for the Commonwealth Edison Co.,
the electric light ad signs which flash
the American flag from two corners
of the City Hall building will sell
thousands more of such ad signs.
People walking by the City Hall
last night we're startled to see electric
signs on the Washington-LaSaIle and
RANDOLPH Clark corners flashing out
a vision of Old Glory from red, white
and blue electric globes.
Along with the electric signs on the
City Hall came big advertisements by
the Commonwealth Edison Co. in the
loop papers which read in part:
Foster the peace and prosperity
idea which Mayor Thompson COM
mends. Adopt this means Of showing
your patriotic spirit. One of these
brilliantly Illuminated American flags
can be placed outside your store. Spe-
cial price, $3.50"
Accompanying the ad in today's
papers is a picture of the City Hall
with reproduction of letter Mayor
Thompson wrote to the Common
wealth Edison, in which he says: II
deem it fitting that 1 should endorse
the America First idea of peace and
prosperity for our country which you
are advocating"
When the inquiring citizens asked
Mayor Thompson why he was so in
terested in furtherfng this advertising
sales scheme of the C. E Co., he pass
ed the buck to Comptroller Pike, say
ing Pike had bought the signs and
had them put on the City Hall
The most noticeable thing about
the electric flags is that they bear
only Al stars in their field of alleged
blue, instead of the customary 40
stars.

have disagreed, or, perhaps, have had

girl, at least, wonders, anxiously. if he
makes no attempt to be reinstated in

embarrassment of meeting him with
a new sweetheart. Her friends couD-

Nine girls out Of ten are too honest
to resort to this, believing it to be dis
honorable to encourage a mans suit
when neither her heart nor her wishes
respond.
While lover is true to her hope
bridges the dark current of fear. but
the knowledge beyond all doubling
that another has filled her place is a
woe that strikes deep into the heart.
The girl is indeed a heroine in real life

hand in greeting and smile that he
may think she does not care. When
it comes down to cold, hard facts she
should not care, realizing that a heart

No man Of principle would subject
