ADDS TO CITY’S APPEARANCE

Form of Street Lamp That Is Coming Into General Use Throughout the Country.

Besides forming a very attractive support for a street lamp, this re-en-

forced concrete post also offers a convenient place for displaying street tfigns. At the top of the pole is a 12in c h frosted-glass globe in which there is a high-candlepow-er electric lamp. Surrounding the globe is a square framework in which four strips of blue glass, carrying the street names in white letters, are held. During either the day or night, the i name of the street and its intersecting thoroughfare are thus plainly visible when the pole is placed at a

corner. —Popular
