Mr.
Laws' Experience With a
- "Brick Shower."
The Civic League's "brick show
er" calls to mind a story told by
Mr. R. Don Laws, editor of the
Yellow Jacket.
It happened in the earlier days
of the Yellow Jachet, although the
paper at the time already had at
tained a large circulation. So one
day Mr. Laws inserted in his paper
a paragraph saying that his busi
nessxhad grown to such an extent
that' it was necessary to provide a
new home for it; and he asked each
of his friends and subscribers to
send him a brick. Not long after
that, said Mr. ' Laws, brick began
to arrive by parcel post and express
from all of the country, the charge
on some, of them running past a
dollar mark. lie claims that he
got enough brick to build a hand
