Rest Rooms Needed In Every Small Town or City.

Crown Point Register. It seems somewhat strange that rest rooms or comfort stations are not more generally provided in villages and small cities into which farmers and their families drive to trade. Women, especially when children are with them, are often inconvenienced by the lack of such places. When tired with the shopping and oftentimes affected by bad weather, the existence of such rooms provided by the business men or by the municipality would indeed be a boon. Regarded from a humanitarian standpoint, they make greatly for convenience and health. Regarded as a business proposition they pay, for people are glad to trade in a town where such privileges are found. t To be sure, the cost of providing and maintaining such rooms is considerable, yet nothing to what is often expended for the institutions or events that have no value, or at best only a passing value.
