OUTDOOR ADVERTISING.
Why Several Large Advertisers: 0
yoaa It aad Favor Other Media.
Anything that tends to mar the ap
pearance of a town or to disfigure Its
streets and buildings should be dis
couraged, such as the display of un
sightly signs.
Much attention Is given In the tenth
'annual report of the American Scenic
and Historic Preservation society to
outdoor advertising, says the New
York Tribune. The chief question dis
cussed is whether or not such adver
tising is prontable enough to the ad
vertiser to offset the disfigurement of
the scenery. To ascertain the relative
profits derived by the advertiser from
outdoor advertising and other forms of
advertising and with the general im
pression that outdoor advertising must
be proportionately much the more
profitable, fourteen of the largest ad
Tertiscrs In the country were asked
about the matter.
The answers returned were that the
profits from outdoor advertising were
relatively small excepting In unusual
cases, such as In Cuba, where the pop
ulation is Illiterate and outdoor adver
tising is ubout the only thing which
can reach them.
The conclusions drawn from the tes
timony of the fourteen firms approach
ed are:
That outdoor advertising In the Unit
ed States is not as profitable to the ad
vertiser as Is commonly believed; that
the Income from it is problematical;
that in a country with such, a high per
centage of educated people as we have
newspaper, magazine and pamphlet ad
vertising Is much more profitable than
outdoor signs; that If advertisers them
selves realized this the public would be
relieved automatically of a large pro
portion of the outdoor advertising
which wearies the eye, mars the land
scape and disfigures the street views of
many of our large cities and towns.
The report continues:
"It may be added that as time goes
on public sentiment Is coming to bold
In diminishing esteem the owners of
property, urban or rural, who lend
their premises to the display of un
sightly signs for the small Income
which It yields them and to regard
with approval and respect those who
refuse to permit the perversion of their
property to such ends. The example of
the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad in this respect la hearti
ly to be commended. Although repeat
ed offers of large sums of money1 have
been made to that great corporation
for the privilege of erecting signs along
Its right of way, It has, with admirable
public spirit, declined to entertain
them. Such advertising signboards as
appear along the line of this road are
not on Its right of way, but on adja
cent private property."
LAWTON'S BOOMING SCHEME
Work of an Oklahoma Town's Thir
ty Thousand Club.
Here is bow a hustling Oklahoma
town draws attention to Itself:
The Lawtou (Okla.) chamber of com
merce recently completed the organi
zation among the citizens of the city of
the Thirty Thousand club, says Wil
liam H. Hornaday, a special correspond
ent of the Chicago Inter Ocean. This
club Is to have a membership of 1,000
aggressive workers, who will give
themselves just five years In which to
increase the population of Lawton to
80,000. These are the people who do
things. They were the energetic, nervy
home builders who In four years trans
formed this wild prairie Into fine farms
and pleasant, comfortable homes.
When they arrived on the proposed site
of Lawton they quickly discovered the
great advantages the new city would
have In the future great southwest
empire, and they grasped that oppor
tunity. They saw that there would be
no other large city anywhere In the
new country, and the geographical ad
vantages of Lawton would be great.
They saw that there must be a busi
ness center and distributing point for
all this rich country and that to the
north, to the west and to the south
west there would not be a commercial
competitor for hundreds of miles.
It Is these live pushers who are giv
ing themselves but five years In which
to build up a busy, thriving, humming
city, and when they reach the goal they
will find that they cannot stop. The
Impetus will be such that Lawton will
Imply continue to grow without let or
hindrance. Her new and thriving In
dustries will Induce others, and they
will bring still others, until the cotton
seed oil and flouring mills will be the
greatest In the southwest. Her numer
ous factories will be supplying the
needs of the great and rapidly develop
ing empire to the west and southwest.
Maklnar the Streets Attractive.
We shall need to bestir ourselves
more than we have done if we eve
catch up with some of the towns In
Europe, not only in the matter of good
municipal government, but also in the
less important, though none the less
valuable, particular of municipal
adornment, says Leslie's Weekly.
France and Belgium are far in advance
f us in laws and regulations affecting
billpoetlng and other forms of publla
advertising and also in the encourage
ment offered in various ways to private
citizens to co-operate in the work of
beautifying streets, parks, residences
and public buildings. An annual prize
baa been granted by the Tarls munici
pal council for some years post for the
most artistically designed bouse front,
and recently a competition has been
opened in Paris under the same aus
pices for the most artistic signboards,
the prizes offered being sufficient to
stimulate the efforts of the best living
French artists.- The possibilities lying
In this direction of adding to the beau
ty and attractiveness of business
streets are obviously very great

Marshal Fields, of Chicago, the
greatest and most successful mer

the world's richest men, his wealth

native of Massachusetts, a son of
a farmer and educated in the pub
lic schools.
At 17 he became clerk in a gener-

A Smiling Face Pays.
There is a minister living out on
the East Side who is a great joker.
He loves to tell his jokes at the
table, and when be does so the other
members of the family are expected
to laugh. The minister has a son
twenty-one years old, who gets
awfully tired of the jokes. Recent
ly he g'ot iu the habit of scrowlnig
when his father would spring his
alleged witticisms. The minister
noticed this and thereafter it was
impossible for the son to secure a
second helping of any of the focd
his father served. As a result the
son would soon leave the table hun
erv. One dav the family had tur
key for dinner axd the sou decided fair
to get all he waJied of it, even if J
he had to laugh at his father's jokes
Soon after he had eaten his first ;
allowance his father sprang a pun
and the young man laughed. It
wasn't a simple laugh; it was a roir
which only ended when he fell off
his chair. Wheu the son hod pu'l
ed himself together again his father
looked sternly over his glasses.
"Ahem! Henry," he said, picking
up the carving knife and fork,
"pass me your plate and let me
help you to some more of this ex
cellent turkev."
