HOARDINGS
Sir.—lt is clear that neither consideration for beauty of landscape nor respect for public opinion will move a certain motor-car agency to do away with that eyesore on Parapet Rock. Their only motive is money. They think that its erection will help to increase their sales. If they could be convinced that, on the contrary, it will, decrease their sales and damage their prestige, it would not be necessary to try to force them to take it down; they would do it themselves. It is incredibly naive for this firm to hope to profit from such an act of desecration. They now occupy a bad eminence as conspicuous as their Parapet Rock hoarding.—Yours, etc., MOTORIST. December 20, .1956.
