New Stationery, Repaint-
ing Of Signs and Even
Changes Of Store Names
Among the Details In
volved.

Little time and less effort are re-
quired from city council when the
name Of a street is changed: but
there always follows an inevitable
amount of expense, inconvenience aud
confusion that must be borne by the
people who conduct business or VINO
dwell along that street. Especially
is this true of an important busI-
ness thoroughfare such as Broadway
has become in San Antonio.
Merchants whose stores are located
on Broadway are practically unani-
nous in saying that the change of
the name of the street from Avenue
G and River Avenue has proven sat
isfactory but in most every cas-, they
tell of things that were not SO easily
or so quickly settled as the formality
of changing the name of the 'treet.
"The day the change Of name went
into effect" said one dealer I'VE
ordered some lumber from d local lum-
Der yard for rush job we were
having done. As it had no. been de-
livered, we called the yard again
three or four hours later and asked
them why they had not sent it. The
manager of the yard replied that they
couldn't deliver lumber in Alamo
Heights on such short notice. We
had given our number on Broadway
instead Of Avenue c, and he had
taken it for granted that we meant
that our place of business was on
Broadway in Alamo Heights"
"The change hasn't caused us any
expense or Inconvenience, said an
other merchant, "but just today
was talking to young man who was
delivering for another firm. He had
not been in San Antonio very long
and was not familiar with the streets.
He was directed to deliver a package
to a certain number on River Ave
nue..
Found q Vacant House.
"He went to the corresponding num-
Der on Broadway but found the
house vacant. He showed me the
package with the name of the people
to whom it was to be delivered, and
: Immediately noticed that the ship
ping clerk had used the old River
Avenue address. When the name of
the street was changed, the numbers
on houses along River Avenue were
also changed. The 500 block became
the 1900 block on Broadway. Ship
ping clerks should take this fact into
account when addressing packages for
delivery"
Perhaps no store along the entire
street was put to more trouble or
expense than the drug stores. The
numerous labels they had on hand at
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-03-02
More to Changing Street Name
Than Just Passing Resolution

the time the change was made bore
the address on Avenue c. These
labels had to be changed or thrown
away.
1--WE have been using rubber
stamp to change the old address on
labels" said A. NJ. Fischer, proprietor
of Fischer's Drug Store. Il was in
favor of changing the name of the
street. 1t has caused some incon-
venience and a little expense. In
addition to having to change the
address on labels we use on medi-
cines, we had to have the address on
our narcotic license changed"
The business houses along Broad
way still use stationery with the old
address on it in most cases where the
supply of stationery with Avenue Z
printed on it has not played out. But
in many places signs have been re-
painted. In at least one place, how
ever, it seems probable that the words
save C" are destined to remain WISH
bic for quite a while. They are cut
into the concrete corner of the Mag
nolia building where they cannot be
easily erased.
In at least one instance. the change
in the name of the street has resulted
in the name of a place of business.
The Avenue C Barber Shop is now
the Broadway Barber Shop.
Stays Avenue @ Pharmacy.
At the same time, the Avenue c
Pharmacy remains the Avenue c
Pharmacy. The reason for the I'M
changeable order of things at that
store is not hard to determine. Out
toward the other end of Broadway in
Alamo Heights, there already existed
one store called the Broadway
Pharmacy. 1t would be rather con-
fusing to have two stores of the same
name on one street.
at didn't cause us any expense,
nor was there any confusion connected
with the change of name" was the
reply one automobile dealer gave to
the query as to the effect of changing
the name of Avenue c to Broadway.
allow long did it take the people
to become accustomed to calling the
street by its new name?" he was
asked.
"The majority of them still call 1t
Avenue c." he answered.
There must DE some confusion for
newcomers, at least, when more than
half of the residents are calling a
prominent business thoroughfare by a
name that has ceased to exist.
Business men are almost unani-
nous in their opinion that the change
to Broadway has been beneficial to
their business. Avenue c, they state.
sounds too much like a residential
street. The very name of Broadway
is associated in the minds of most
people with an important business
section. The expense, inconvenience
and confusion that has resulted, they
state, is nominal compared to the adj
vantage that they expect to obtain.

STORM DOES MUCH l DAMAGE UP NORTH
Maine Especially. Hard Hit by
 Snow and Wind

Boston, Dec. 1.-New England to- day was still plecing together its strands Of communication disrupted by the storm which swept over it Saturday night and Sunday morning, telling telephone poles by the thous- and. blockadng roads with snow drifts, binding drivers of automo- piles with resulting accidents, break ing municipal light circuits, sound ing false alarms of fires by crossing wires and generally hampering com merce and pleasure.
 One silver lining was found in the storm clouds. The hunters today were out early to take advantage of ideal tracking conditions. In Massa- chusetts the deer hunting season opened at sunrise today.
 The'wet snow clung to wires, poles and windshields, and then was froz- en when the mercury began 10 fall with the last flakes of snow. The New England Telephone & Tele- graph company last night said that temporary lines to replace its almost totally crippled toll service to the north could not be completed before Tuesday night while permanent re- pairs would require weeks of labor.

cook, they started after the cows,
when they saw Crooked Nose max
ing signs to them to come back.
They lost no time in doing SO, and
learned from Crooked Nose that he
had seen two men with their horses
on top of a neighboring hill, and
that they were coming towards
him.
"They are Sioux" said Little
Hawk. "Come on and we will have
some fun with them" Going up a
gulch, he was intending to make a
sham attack on the supposed Sioux,
and brighten them, but not injure
them, for they were allies.
Creeping to the ridge above, Lit
tie Hawk looked over and found
he was almost in the midst of the
soldiers. Turning back, Little
Hawk raced down to the river, and
tore through the underbrush and
trees with his followers close after
him. AS they neared the camp Of
the Cheyennes, the racing men be-
gan to howl like wolves to let the
know they had discovered
something.
When the camp heard what Lit
tie Hawk had to tell, the warriors
FASTENED to paint themselves; put
on their ornaments and arrayed
in their best, strutted through the
with all the vanity of the
CD male, and then set
out for the field of battle.
Arrived there, among the first to
charge was Chief Comes In Sight.
With him went his sister. Chief
Comes In Sight was wounded, and
but for the timely aid of his sister,
who took him on her horse and car
ried him away, he would have been

stood it. Spotted Wolf said further /:
"Son, 90 out and from one of the
springs that come out of the hill
side get some blue clay" After
it had been brought to him he
painted on the shoulders and hips
of the horse the figure of a king
fisher with its head toward the
front. Now" he said, "your horse
will not get out Of wind. Take him
down to the stream and give him
plenty Of water; all he will drink"
When White Shield brought his
horse back, his father said: when
YOU are ready to start | will go
with you, and before you make the
charge, I will put some medicine
on you" Just before they left
camp, Spotted Wolf said: Nov,
drink plenty of water and let this
be your last drink until the fight
is over"
When they neared the enemy
at daybreak, they stopped to paint
themselves. Spotted Wolf painted
White Shield from head to foot
with yellow earth paint. From a
bundle containing the clothes he
wore in battle he took a scalp, and
placing the horse so that it faced
the south, he tied the scalp to its
jaw. Then he put his own
war shirt on White Shield, took
his kingfisher (the stuffed skin of
a kingfisher) and held it up to the
sun and sang a song.

song sung to me when the spirits
took pity on me. If the kingfisher
