A Good Suggestion

One OF the citizens in Waterville
asked Ahis question. How would you
like to have q fellow next door back
his automobile or team in front of
Your store?" Saturday while convers-
ing about automobiles and teams.
About three or four hours of the day.
when business is generally humming
around the Main street, this is being
done right in Waterville, and of
course there is no store that really
likes it, as it drives away trade 10
certain extent. Some good customer
will come to the store with the inten-
ton of doing his daily purchasing,
and when automobiles or teams are
left in front of the store he simply
goes on to the next store where he
can conveniently drive his car to the
door. The attention was called to the
Journal by the citizen, thinking that
it might wake people up SO that in
the future they will be more careful
where they leave their teams or cars
and while they do their trading.
