Show COMMUNICATION Editor Ogden Standard-Examiner: ' Will you tell the nubile through your fair minded oarer whether tho city of Ogden Ls rentliiK out advertising ! privileges over the main street ln tho center of the business district".' If so, who should I see .o secure this valuable valu-able privilege? For some days a mercantile advertising adver-tising banner has been suspended over Washington avenue in the heart of the buaineaa district, advertising an individual in-dividual business. If this privilege is extended lo one, why ni" treat all alike and cover tho street with banners from one end to tho other and thus 'iik'' the city back lo the "cow pas-Cure" pas-Cure" davs when commercial activl- Iti. I were not confined to one's own I property but were carried on in the I streets as well. 0 The first thirwr that greets tho stranger Is .he streets and 1 am asking ask-ing where you would go to ilnd a CITY of 35.000 that will permit the streets and sidewalks to be overhung with unsightly commercial advertising signv.' We "blow" a good deal about "Our Beuutlful Cltv" and "Help Beau. Ify Ogden" and yet the authorities allow these unsightly frontier day advertise inent.s to greet the visitors eyes and give . he Impression lhat we are not yot out of our "small town" Ideas which, of course, do not appeal to "modern people" and they pass on lo other more progressive cities. Yours for "Our Beautiful City." A rnnOREbSIVH CITIZEN |
