Billboard show

–

Cooperating with the Essex County and Westport garden clubs, the New York State Committee for Billboard Legislation will present an exhibit of billboards at the Essex County Fair.

The local garden clubs are showing contrasting types of gasoline filling stations: “The attractive and attracting one” and the kind the motorist generally passes by.

Miniature billboards will be exhibited to show that in some positions they are not only unattractive, but they can cause serious community losses in defacing naturally beautiful roadsides and often become actual menaces to motor traffic.
