NEW SIGN AT R. R. TICKET OFFICES
J. A. Mason, district passenger agent of the Louisville & Nashville railroad company, took a few moments off from his duties in his offices in the San Carlos hotel yesterday morning, to view some work of sign painters.
There were some artists of the brush and they were busy following out orders of the United States government.
New signs are on the plate glass upon the doors. Where the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company, once shone there is something that "tops it."
The new sign reads:
"United States Railroad Administration. Consolidated Ticket Office."
Officials of the office and attaches took off their hats and bowed to the new inscription.
