tinction and in the year 1869 he re-

mating the names of its streets in some
systematic way" says the bulletin.
Good signs. neat and legible. are a
constant advertisement for the pro-
gressive spirit of town. Various sys-
tens of street name signs used IN
cities throughout the country arE
presented to help municipal authOri-
ties choose one best adapted.
A good street name sign should be
legible. durable, attractive and not
over expensive. Letters inches high
are standard. The use of smaller let.
ters is questionable" says the, Ames
authority. Bold letters of the block
type are most easily read. Presented
either white on black or black on
white, they are clear and bold. Alumni
nun on black is also good combina
ton.
whatever the system of placing. it
should be uniform. Fastening to build
ings is not desirable, because signs
often have to be placed too far back.
Placing on trolley or electric light
poles is common and is economi-
cal, although in some places special
poles are erected. Two street name
signs at each intersection is sufficient.
Materials used for the signs vary
widely. wood. glass. sheet metal, cast
metal and cement concrete being used.

Gillen in one of the leading men of
the Latter Day Saints and is we'll
known throughout the United States
and in many foreign countries as well.
The new church is located on the
corner of fremont and Jefferson
on one of the. prcttiest sites in the
|city. and while it is not a pretentious
ediiice, it is amply large enough to
care for the congregation. Denison
people donated literally toward the
erection of the church, as did resi-.
dents of Deloit, Dow City and sur
rounding country. 1t was no small
task for the members of the church to
raise the money necessary to erect
the building, but they all feel CRATE
full to those who donated. While this
is the first church of it's kind in Den
ison, there are churches of like faith
in both Dow City and Deloit, where
many Of their people have been wor,
Shipping the past years. Churches
OF this denomination are located
throughout the United States and in
many foreign lands. Their headquar,
tcrs are at Independence, Missouri
and not in Utah as many people sup
pose.
For many years members of this
| church in Denison and vicinity have
been holding services in private homes
and some eighteen months ago they
| organized a Sunday school, which has
so grown that it was necessary to pro-
! vide a suitable place of worship.
