Another style was this: "Sue, Harry and Will Sollenberger all safe. Call at No. 250 Twenty-seventh Avenue." There were thousands of these dramatic notices on this billboard, and one larger than the others read: "Death notices can be left here; get as many as possible." Another method of finding friends and relatives was by printing notices on vehicles.
"And I declare!" cried Helen, as they rolled on through one of the suburbs of the city, "there is one of the sights, sure enough. See that billboard, girls?" "Oh!" cried Wonota, who possessed quite as sharp eyes as anybody in the party. "We can't escape that man," sighed Jennie, as she read in towering letters the announcement of "Dakota Joe's Wild West and Frontier Round-Up."
She knew every house-front, every street-crossing, every billboard, every tree, every dog. She knew every blackened banana-skin and empty cigarette-box in the gutters. She knew every greeting. When Jim Howland stopped and gaped at her there was no possibility that he was about to confide anything but his grudging, "Well, haryuh t'day?"
He had had the satisfaction of hurling a rock to mar the "virile" face as it looked down defiantly at him from the billboard.
Behind this billboard she took shelter thankfully, feeling sure that it would enable her to see what Jake was doing without any danger of being discovered by him. As she had expected, Jake did not enter the station. She had no sooner taken up her position in the shelter of the billboard than she was able to single him out from the men who were lounging about, waiting for the train.
It was a great event for Edward when, with the poet nodding and smiling to every boy and man he met, and lifting his hat to every woman and little girl, he walked through the fine old streets of Cambridge with Longfellow. At one point of the walk they came to a theatrical billboard announcing an attraction that evening at the Boston Theatre.
"It's an awful funny play anyhow, the billboard pictures are." "Are we all going?" asked Freddie. "Yes," answered Mrs. Bobbsey. "We are all going." Much excited over the joys before them, for in Lakeport there was only one theatre, and plays did not show there often, the Bobbsey twins made ready to go to the matinée.
"No, it wasn't," said Romper, rushing to the window, "it was a blasted old bill poster tacking a sign on Headquarters Hi! git out o' there! This isn't an old barn!" he shouted to the bill poster. But that individual never heard him and kept tacking away until the bill was up. Then he went on down the road whistling merrily. "Hang it, Headquarters will look like a billboard soon.
"It does, too!" contradicted Celia Jane, wrinkling up her nose preparatory to crying with disappointment if the circus were not coming. "There's some writin' on it." "What does it say, Danny?" eagerly asked Jerry, going close to the billboard as though that might help him to make out what was printed on it. "Ain't it coming?" "Read it quick, Danny! Please! I can't wait!" cried Celia Jane.
Where the car turns at Eighteenth Street there is a big, glaring billboard poster, showing a group of stalwart young men in white ducks lolling on shores, of tropical splendor, with palms waving overhead, and a glimpse of blue sea in the distance. The wording beneath it runs something like this: "Young men wanted. An unusual opportunity for travel, education and advancement. Good pay.
