People who think that there is no senti- ment in commercial life need only wander about any of the old business centers of New York to have their beliefs changed. They will ne old signs, some of them in a state of decay almost borderieg disk:- . Intim, on the walls of the houses of -the older firms. In some instances these signs remain even though the name of the firm has been changed. In cases in which sons have succeeded to the business many of the old signs of the firm which establish- ed the business are still to be seen: Alany are weather worn and the lettering is al- most indistinct but the present Brio do not permit them to be..ratoncited......,_ Occasionally the boards split and the. edges break. These ravages are repaired for safety's sake, but the dim outlines of the lettering remain. A sign writer who had been called to repair one of these ancient landmarka in Greenwich street asked the head of the firm, who represents the third generation In tbe concern, if he should not regild the letters. "CertainlY not," was the answer. "If consented to icier doing that. I should ex- pect the business of this firm to fail." In some eased in which new names have succeeded to the business old Mena have been removed from the outer walls and placed inside. In an office in a Broadway ' tore there is an old wooden sign ettepend- ed over the desk of the grandson of the found& of the arm, who last the bead of the but:Week .
