Inscriptions Printed on applied label attached at verso: 974161 NEW YORK BUREAU \ WHAT GOES ? \ ST. PAUL, MINN.: An unbelieving worker stares \ in amazement at what appears to be outdoor \ indoor plumbing. Passersby at first thought \ this was a new twist in lamp posts, but closer \ inspection revealed that the plumbers got \ ahead of the carpenters and had installed \ pipe and fixtures -- complete to washbowls and \ toilets -- before the houses were up at a \ municipal housing site in St. Paul. There \ is some local speculation as to what would \ have happened if the roofers had gotten there \ first. \ NY-1-2-3-4-5 MX FOR \ CREDIT (ACME) 7/10/51 (EB)
