To tho I'Miter:
In tho Trihuno of tho 33th you call

ho done, hut it i'nilud to iimturinli.u
up to thin time Whilo (hero Iiiih
Ituon now additioiiH laid out niti:o
lluil, wnlor ;iinl Howct'rt put in nnd
vory few, if any, to taki water, whilo
if our petition had boon granted
would have funiiKhod nt leant 20
familiea with water, and the city
would havo mined a rovonuo. I
want to iihIc thu honorable mayor
nud council why thin diHcrimlnuliou
In favor of real entato ngeutH? An
other thing, why don't you adopt
IiunIiiohh prinoiploa iiiHtend of jjiiohh

to huII any commodity is by weight
or muiiHure. Thureforo the meter
Hynteiii, in my judgment, in the only
correct Hytem and I can't hco why
any IiouohI iiinn nhould object to it.
If the city had U00 inchou of water
loday under tho preuenl Kyntem there

A cool customer will buy with less palaver.
He or she will be better natured, les$ cranky and
easier to sell to; and you know it.
Moreover, you 3rourself, and jTour employes, will be
in a better selling mood if your store is cool and pleasant
than if it is sticky and suffocating and savors of a boiler
room in its stiflingness.
