I he board is 240ft long and 50ft high, andit took 1330sheets of paper to cover it. At night it is hghted with five electric lights, ata cost of 7 5dol. pca1 month. what is more to the point is that the immense bill-board is ieading to"immense business." The good people of Chicago, in whose midst the board was first erected, are clearly proud of having another big thing besides their pork-packingestablishments to make their town famous.
