Mr. Roland T. Patten
Skowhegan, Maine.
Dear Mr. Patten;
I am writing TO ask you for the aid
of your valuable paper for securing
improvement in the looks of our
town. | often notice in vacant store
windows large 1andbils that are ad-
vertising events that have long since
been held. I once saw in a vacant
window of this town handful
advertising the Somerset Central
Agricultural Fair and on reading the
date found that it was for the fair of
the preceding year. Often times in
the stores placards are put in adver-
Using dances, shows and other enter
tainments and are not taken down
sometimes for months after the events
have taken place.
This sort of advertising is very
good, but if the bills are not taken
down when they should be I think it
is annoying to people who stop to read
the bills to find that they are reading
a bill that is month or year old.
Don't you think an editorial to the
people who are responsible for this
would help to make our town look
cleaner and more attractive?
Hoping that you will try to improve
this condition through your paper
am
