Show An Abbreviated Sign. George Bowles took advantage of a beautiful day to indulge in a drive with his wife. On one of the principal streets they passed a grocer's wagon on the side of which was painted in bold capitals this queer inscription: : iDoomio : Of course Bowles' curiosity was at once aroused and he drove up alongside of the wagon. When the grocer came out of a neighboring iiouse with his empty basket bas-ket George asked him what the sign meant. In a manner which seemed to express contempt of his inquirer for his ignorance he replied: "Those letters mean that my store is located just one door east of the postoflice." Then Bowles looked at the inscription and wondered why he had not solved the riddle before. Chicago Herald. |
