“WHOLE DAMM FAMILY” IS
OBSCUREJ BY “HELL” TRIBE
.SHARON, Pa.—The Damm family
of world fame, bids fair to lose its
renown by discovery of ihe Hell
family in the town of Farrell, built
by the I'nited States Steel corpora
tion.
Members of the Hell family are not,
averse to using their nume in a busi
ness way. The head of the family.
Conrad Hell, an ice cream manufac
turer, lias signs reading: "Go to Hell
for ice cream!" scattered through
out the city. Another sign reads:
"Ice cream from 11*11 is guaranteed
pure and cooling."
Still another heart the inscription:
“Have you been to Hell? It’s th*
coolest place in Farrell.”
When a stranger enter:- Main street
he is startled by a big billboard
reading:
"Hell is here; don't miss tic
place."
A block further down the slr<-et
this sign is encountered:
"You will find everybody there on
a hot day; Hell is always open.”
The big sign which, however, at
tracts most attention is in front of
' Hell's place of business. It repre
| sents a young couple eating ice cream
and the young woman is saying to
her escort:
"Hell for mine; always."
