LARGEST electric
SIGN ON BOARDWALK
FOR THE DUPONT CO.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
ATLANTIC CITY. Jan. Shortly
after sunset last night, visitors on the
boardwalk saw lighted for the first
time the largest electric sign in the
world. 1t has just been erected by
the r. c. Maxwell Company of Tren-
ton. on Young's Million Dollar Pier
for the e. l. DUPONT deNemOUrs &
Company of Wilmington, Del.
While the boardwalk has many
large signs they looked small last
night when the above sign was light
ed. In the presence of many nOtables
Mayor William Riddle touched the
button that let 5000 lights shine forth.
This is the first time that any arms
or ammunition manufacturer has ad-
vertised the sport of shooting in an
outdoor display. The increasing scar
city of game and the stringoncy OF
game law is bringing trapshOOting
forward in leaps and bounds.
This trapshooting sign measures so
by 80 feet. The gunner stands 21
feet high, while the trap boy, or load
er, is Is 1-2 feet high. II has six
operations and can be plainly seen for
many blocks. It will shine from sun
set to sunrise. OF course only one
operation will be seen in daytime.
Following the lighting of the sign,
the Maxwell Company entertained
several dupont Company men at a
banquet, which was given in Hotel
Traymore. The Wilmington men
present were: William Coyne T. E,
Doremus, J. j: Raskob, Irenee DUPONT,
w. A. Joslyn. Il. r. Calvin, G. II.
Pierre. George Frank Lord and Stoney
McLinn, editor of the American

Hays has many things of which to be
proud. The presence of the Normal
brings within our reach large influence.
With the completion of the new build
ing, this adding much needed equip
ment, our influence will broaden with
the growth of the school, Our Public
School is another thing of pride to US.
And especially will this be the case
when, as the result of the Bond Elec-
ton, we shall have a splendid new High
School building, fully equipped for the
best High School work. The coming of
the new Railroad now assured, thus
making our relation with the country
to the North and South more real,
should not fail to be noticed.
But what are we doing as city to
keep abreast with the largest interests
that are persistently thrusting them
selves upon US? Are we as city using
the same business sense that these
splendid institutions within our cor
i poration are using? Or are we satisfied
to go on in the same old way? A little
