The word “Billboard” in i 8 r letters to advertisers for us, PIPES (Continued from page 124) also are subjected to ‘“‘snotty’’ (excuse it—it's about fully descriptive) answers and low-brow remarks on the part of officials who have a too-wonderful estimation of themselves and their powers of discrimination—against good Americans—so considered in their home towns. James Proutman was in a town in Pennsylvania recently and even after getting his permit expressed himself to a storekeeper as being doubtful of ‘‘making anything’ if he did work, The whole-souled merchant remarked: “Remember, young feller, that ‘a faint heart ne'er won a fair lady!’ " James told him: “Good advice, I Know, mister. But, literally speaking, I've seen many successful] ‘butterfly’ catchers who afterward ‘cussed’ themselves for having so much nerve."’ Hughie George, the veteran entertainer (for merly trouped with some of the best today known minstrel men), returned to Cincinnati last week from Conn’s Congo Entertainers, with which he did biackface and acts for ten weeks, Hughie stated that Doc Conn was changing from tent to houses during a cool night spell. Satvrday George was patiently awaiting the Sunday arrival of ‘“‘Neil O'Brien's Minstrels, with Bert Swor’’, playing this week at the Grand Opera House, to confab and reuew old-time acquaintance. From Doce Burke, mailed at Stone N. Y., September 20: “I have been Capt. Lee show ali summer in the Catskill and at summer resorts. Have en too busy changing mazuma to even think of changing shows. Also, haven't exchanged cross words with Cap tain—it’s not necessary for people who understand their business. Tommy Gallagher, song and dance artist, joined the show at Phoebicia, Moe. Tommy is a very likable young gent who will in all probability be heard from ‘high up’ at some future time.”’ J. H. Sweetman infoes that he has deserted the and is pitching gummy. ington. Sweetman Ridge, with the (the ‘‘Coast Defender’’) paper frat, Yep, out in Washwonders what J. D. Foss did with the bulbs he was collecting for the two-car circus thru North Dakota and Minnesota a few years ago Says James Wilson is one of the boys who does not use premiums and gets his share of the handshaking. He asks what .has become of H. Tenney? ‘Last report I had on Harry,’* writes J. H., “it was that he intended opening a hot-tamale parlor at Silver City, N. M.” There was a wonderful ‘opportunity last week in Cincy, during the Odd Fellows’ Convention, for sales of badges and pennants and k indred specialties. It was a regular ‘‘mardi gras’ spirit that prevailed, especially nights on the downtown streets. About 70,000 delegates and those accompanying them (men and were in the city from all over the States and Canada, And there was not a professional badze or pennant man working, that Bill could discover. The boys were not to blame, however: the ‘‘powers that be’. unfortunately, seemed against it and as a result the fun-hunters had to confine their fun-makers and souvenirs to trinkets they could purchase in stores, women) United Max Gottlieb blew into our New York offices last week. He has a side-kick these days—O. McConnell—no, they do not call them ‘The Two Max’. Neither is Mr. O'Connell Mae No. 2 He hails from South Dakota via Europe, the World War and California. He boasts all the makin'’s of a pitchman, especially the wanderlust—that insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond the next bend in the road. Max is better read than ever, more philosophical, readier in argument or debate and a living proof of the fact that if a rolling stone gathers no moss it may acquire a very fine polish. He is contemplating a course in medicine at the University of New York. Two very pleasant visitors last week were P. E to The Billboard DeVore, president, and his son, Ronald E. DeVore, assistant manager, of the DeVore Manufacturing Company, of Columbus, 0. They motored te Cincinnati on a pleasure and business trip. They were escorted thru the entire Billboard Building (seven floors) by the writer, and as they have a printing plant in connection with their establishment in Columbus both took great interest in ‘‘taking in’? how “Billyboy’’ is made into a full-grown magazine (from typewriter to the finished product). They reported having an excellent year and that their plant is working to capacity and brought kind regards from Manager ; Maloney, of their _ company. As the writer was standing at the Pennsylvania Station in Cincinnati last Friday night he heard several Odd Fellows turning to Wilmington, Del., after being at the convention, comment in sort of ridiculing terms on the absence of a general selling of souvenirs on the streets during the convention. One fellow remarked to his fellows: “Gee, 1 wish I had some little trinket, a souvenir medal, or something to take home to my wife."’ Another said: ‘“‘Me, too, but there was so much going on that I didn't have time to step into a store and buy something, and there were no pennant men on the streets that I conid see.” Two of them walked to the news stand and bought silvered articles—with nothing about the convention on them who were re Lawrence W. Gray (Lazara) piped from over Illinois way: ‘I closed my platform show at Sumner, Neb,, August 22, and drove to Des Moines, Ia., where I arranged for Master Ivonard’s first year in high school—the new Roosevelt High School but recently completed and a fine structure. My outdoor season in Nebraska was very short, but I had excellent business for six weeks. I met several friends at Des Moines, among them Monroe VFerdon who came from Los Angeles on a business trip and returned to the West Coust city, where he is interested in a sales agency—wish to say that if there is anything to sell, ‘Monty’ will find a buyer. In an«wer to FE. & Noel's pipe from Utah, will say I am in Tilinots working in halls and that the big ear ix ‘nitting on all four’ and has 4 re¢ular automobile beside it.
