1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE
Revenue From venders' Licenses In
creased 500 a Week


creased 500 a Week
Advertising pays, in the opinion of
Director Datesman, of the Department
Of Public Works.
Advertising Of the city's curb and
shed markets and its other marketing
facilities for farm products will increase
its revenue from a certain class Of ven
ders' licenses to the extent Of almost
800 week this year." he said. ''The
total aggregate increase will be about
$4,000.
THE advertising, which was confined
to newspapers, was an innovation early
last spring. and consisted of specially
prepared advertisements, which were di-
rected to the farmer and the trucker.
Only about $3.50 was expended on the
advertising and already the increased
revenue from licenses issued amounts
to $3S17. While this is for the period
from January to July 1, virtually all
the licenses were issued in April, May,
June and July after the advertising had
been used. The increase represents the
amount above the total received for the
entire year of 1913"

The fire department was called to

the department arrived the interior
of the kitchen and the roof were a
mass Of flames. Quick work of the

but not until they had eaten their
way into the main part of the house,
between the ceiling and the roof.
The damage is quite considerable,
but the work Of the department is to
be highly commended for their effici-
ency. as the house would have burn
ed to the ground. Some insurance was
carried, but the amount could not be
learned.
The cause of the fire could not be
determined, although it apparently
started in pile of rubbish.
