Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 37, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 March 1905 — A Nuisance. [ARTICLE]

A Nuisance.

What? Who? Any one who rings the door bell and leaves a bandbill wound about the door knob. A man or boy may not be seriously thought of who ventures upon private property and noiselessly leaves his advertisement; but. he who comes to the door, rings the bell, takes one from their work, simply to find the program of a minstrel troupe or even a sacred concert, takes an unauthorized liberty, and, as the matter stands now, through an almost daily repetition, becomes a nuisance. Whoever you are, man or boy, remember this, you have no more right to pull a door bell for the purposes of advertisement than you have to pull a person’s nose.
