Visitors to the city were not lost as long as they had Main street to set them right. houses had long advertised themselves as being on Main street.

Anyhow, I've got a lot of stationery with my Main street address on it, and I don't like to throw it away.” Dr. Richard L. Sutton, a hunter who has stalked big game from African and Arctic Circle versions of Main street, declared he was “stronge: than horse- radish” for the name.’ “What if it is hickish. Aren’t we big enough to do as we please?” Still City of Farmers. Lyle Stephcnson, amateur entomolo- gist, looked at the bug in the ointment from another angic “This still is a city of farmers,” he said. “Main street is a good hick name.
