IN the belief that the numerous signs and notices, such as those
containing warnings and advice to the public, with which the eye is so
familiar, might be employed as suitable _media_ for commercial
advertisement, the following suggestions are offered for what they are
worth:--
=LIFT NOT WORKING.=
When you walk upstairs
be sure your boots are
shod with PUSSYFOOT
Rubber Heels.
* * *
=TO STOP THE TRAIN PULL
DOWN THE CORD.=
Then light a NAVY LIST Cigarette.
That alone is worth the L5.
* * *
=STICK NO BILLS.=
It's not your job.
Let STIKKOTINE do it.
Sticks anything.
* * *
=THIS RACK IS PROVIDED FOR
LIGHT ARTICLES ONLY.=
If your baby is a GLOXO baby
keep it on your knee.
GLOXO builds _bulky_ bairns.
* * *
=KEEP OFF THE GRASS.=
Unless you are wearing
GUMBOODLE'S
Goloshes.
Won't wet feet.
* * *
=BEWARE OF THE DOG.=
Wait till he hears
HIS MASTER'S VOICE.
* * *
=YOU MAY TELEPHONE FROM HERE.=
Ring up your newsagent and order
your DAILY WAIL.
Billion Sale.
Order it now.
CHU CHIN CHOW.
* * * * *
"CHARLES ----
This week, DRIVEN FROM HOME. Next week, AT SEA."
_Daily Paper._
Surely this pitiable case ought to be brought to the attention of the
Actors' Benevolent Association.

THESE APRIL SHOWERS BRING ON THE PEAS."]
