THE WHITE WAY
New Cluster Lights Up In Front Of Bundy Block More Of Same Lights To Go Up
 
    East Third street with its pretty white way was surely the attraction, and the way the people paraded the well lighted thoroughfare showed that the white way is appreciated. Dr. D. B. Bundy had two of the splendid cluster lights burning in front of the Bundy block and the dazzling lights in front of the Bijon picture theater in the Bundy block, the street was beautifully illuminated, a credit to the east end and a strong drawing card for the business in that well lighted section.
    W. S. Harlan was out at the white way. He was so well pleased with the new light in front of the Bundy block that he has decided to put three of the cluster lights in front of the Harlan block.
    Ed Stutz, the big boss of the white way says the place is so full of light out his way that the old rooster crows every fifteen minutes now during the night. Ed says when he used to hear the clarion note of this old Plymouth Rock, he  used to get out of bed and go down into the milk pitcher to meet the milk man and he never missed. Now since the old boy has been crowing so regularly, it keeps Ed walking around all the time looking for the milk man.

Looks like back then we had clusters of lights. We still have clusters. They just ain't pertaining to lights, are they.
