BAKER & SON Where Quality and Prices Meet FACTS ABOUT NEW YORK New York, April 3rd, 1923. Dear Folks : How about’ New York? Did you ever have the craze to go there? Did you ever get to wondering where Wall St. is, what the Hippodrome is like? How you’d manage to cross Columbus Circle, the world’s busiest. intersection? Because that’s how I used to be. Between the newspapers and movies I .got the go-to-New York idea so seek that the only cure was to 0. So one morning last fall I bid you all farewell, and in due course arrived at Grand Central Station. I had planned out just what I’d do first, so neglecting | even the important question of a} -boarding place, I hunted up those two story buses and took a squint at Fifth Avenue from a high front seat. That was a great ride, so next I tried the subway. But Oh Boy! Such a terrible noise, and the air was so bad I could hardly stand _ it. Imagine going from 42nd to 96th ; St. in about 10 minutes. I must confess that’s too much _ speed for my country ideas, and I was good and glad to. go back by streetcar, even though it took nearly an hour. When it was time to eat, there was no ques- tion which restaurant I’d visit. For months I had planned the first meal at the Automat, one of those nickel in the slot places where you peek into post office box. arrangements to see if you like the food, and then chance a nickel that the box will open and out comes the food. Anything from roast beef to ice cream, 07 even coffee, if you work the right coin box. By late afternoon there was no way out of it, and I had to go hunt up a place to live. I was indeed lucky in getting a room can look up the street and see the lights on the Astor Hotel roofgatden. Some class to that, I guess? The next couple of Liveeks aren’t so pleasant to rem- ember, but I landed a fine job, in spite*of these New Yorkers not seeming very friendly to out- siders (on account of not wish- ing to let anyone show them what boobs they sometimes are.) I work in a lovely office on the 19th floor of a building halfway uptown on Fifth Ave., and every quarter hour we can hear the clock in the Metropolitan Tower. At night, especially on rainy nights when the streets are so shiny, its nice to walk part way home and watch the people hurrying here and there like so many ants. Everyone seems to have a home somewhere, but many of them ride an hour or two to get to a cheap-rent sec- tion. T have certainly enjoyed this winter. Everything is new, even the people and the things they do are different. . I have watched the ingenuous way they clear away snow and the foolish way they handle ashes. I went to the Rodeo at Madison Square Garden and saw the same riders as at Pendleton or Cheyenne. And just between you and me that’s the only time I was really truly homesick. I have been to queer restaurants in’ Greenwich Village, to the Polo Grounds, to all the best shows, to public meetings, where people of na- tional importance spoke, and I even managed to get into a pri- vate mass meeting of Tamany. But the things I’ve done aren't a patch to what I still want to do. There is Washington to visit, and Mt. Vernon. Independ- ence hall at Philadelphia, and of course Atlantic City. But all these things take money in large chunks, and it takes a long time to save it, even on pay, so what should I do? About the time I asked myself this ques- tion, I had an idea. And now te come to the point of this let- er! any guns at The Battery. How long it takes to walk across a Brooklyn bridge, Why Wall St. is so erooked, How they Bowery looks today, and a thousand other things. Did you ever stop to wonder how the car system handles the 50,000 people who all try to get into the close- ly grouped theatres between 8 o'clock and show time? I thought Market St. on Armis- tice day was the biggest crowd I should ever see, but the same scene is reenacted each night from 8 to 8:80 along the Great White Way. There are lots of you people | back home who willingly spend money for a movie, and if the same people are interested in New York and how it looks to a westerner, I’m sure they would be glad to spend 15 cents a week for a newsy letter full of up-to- the-minute dope on what’s going on here. At 15 cents a letter, it wouldn’t be very. hard on either of us, and it would take no time at all for so small a sum to become the price of a theatre ticket or the fare to Philadelphia And in return you'll know just how, and when, and what you’d do if you were here right now. This is an original idea of my own, and while not exactly con- ventional, I can’t see why it shouldn’t be practical. If this interests you send $2.00 (not in stamps, please) and in return you'll receive 12 of the snappiest, letters it is in my power to write. I think the first one should be about the most wonderful show in the} world—the New York Hippo- drome. I will go through it for you, act by act, and describe | costumes, settings, ete. right up to the last curtain. The next week I think I shall take you to the Ziegfield Follies (front row | seats, of course) and by that time the spring rains will have} stopped and we-can take some outdoor excursions. Atlantic City will be the 5th or 6th let- ter, depending on the weather. As the patent medicine ads all | say—Do It Now”. Of course I can’t pay out any more money to tell you of my idea, so send your $2.00 before you lose this paper nd forget the address. The first letter will be mailed April 14th and one each week thereafter. Yours with hope, Mary Hughes, Box 182, Times Square Post Office, New York City. 15-1 COUNTY SEAT NEWS ITEMS. William R.
