Halls Safes not only resist the ele-
npents, but also the burglars. There
is no case on record during tho past 80
years where Halls Burglar Proof and
Fire anil Burglar Proof safe5have been
opened, neither have the fire proof safes
failed in single instance to- protect
their contents, excepting at the great
Chicago fire of 1871. An assortment
of these safes can be found at No. l27

Messrs. Graham & Mcdonald, No.

premium at the State Fair for the best

The committee could not do otherwise.

manship generally it did not have its
equal in the building. They had also
one top buggy equally as good in all
points as the other, and if these are
specimens of their work they should be
largely patronized.
TIE LA CROSSE BUSINESS COLLEGE or IA
CROSSE.
This is represented by Prof. Cashol,
one Of the proprietors, at the Minneso.
ia State Fair. with large frame con-
tanning nine designs of pen-drawing,
plain and ornamental penmanship,
which are the best executed that ever
came under our notice. The designs
are excellent and execution perfect; We
would recommend all who attend the
Fair to step into the art gallery and
see them. We have been informed by
good authority that this college far sur
passes any institution of the kind in
the Northwest. G. E. Rogers, one of
the proprietors, is the penman.
PARLoR sArRs.
The only one on exhibition was by
Mr.. A. B. Holmes, agent for the Detroit
Safe Co. 1t is an elegant piece of work
the safe is highly wrought and finish
ed, and of sufficient capacity for the use
Of any ordinary family. 1t is marble
topped and has beautiful side board
Top in ash and black walnut. 1t makes
a handsome piece of furniture. The
competition between safes was in the
fire proof, and, although the Detroit
was not quite so highly finished as it's
competitors, yet on it's merits it took
the first premium. The Detroit safes
stand as high as any manufactured, and
the ducats are as safe within its iron
bound walls as we can ever hope to
make them.
ORGANS.
The onle cabinet pipe organ on exhi-
bition at the Fair is the Goodman,
It commends itself at once to the favor
Of the public on its merits. 1t is
combination Of stop Of five reed, me-
talic pipes, with two, three or more set
of ordinary reeds, either of which may
be used alone. Many societies that can.
not afford to pay from 1880 to $4,000
for pipe organ can pay from 5000 to
ST 900 for Goodman and enjoy the
music as we'll if not better,
n. B.-Societies can make reasona-
BILE terms with Mr.. n. S. Ludwig, l08
Central avenue, Minneapolis.
In point of display, the Fair thus far
is not success. The merchants of St.
Paul who have had energy and interest
enough to exhibit goods, are to be con-
graduated. The individual exhibitions
are more creditable than in former
years.
Prof: Zahonyi occasionally swells the
building up with the clear, brilliant,
soul inspiring music from a Decker
Parlor Grand. This instrument cost
81 800 and merits the admiration be-
slowed upon it by an unbiased public.
Decker Bros. established their repu-
tation on the first two Parlor Grands
they manufactured. They were loaned
to the celebrated and learned musician
and conductor, Herr Carl Anschetz,
when the grandeur, beauty and sonor-
ity of their tone called forth the strong
est encomiums from the, public. From
this endorsement alone they filled or.
ders from for and near, in Europe and
America. Prof. Zahonyi is sole agent
for Minnesota. -.
