THE BUSINESS DISPLAY.
And now came the novel and interest.
ing display by the business and manu-
featuring interests of the village First
was that of the painters, by A. G. Kill
burn On the carriage was staging
some twenty feet high, on top of which
the painters were mounted, a very unu
sual altitude for riding, though not fol
painters as TO hight. C. w. Stinehour
was also in this representation, his I'm,
mediate business being shown on pla-
carded horse.
The next was Mr.. G. f. Holbrook' s
boot and shoe business, being neatly ar
ranged, workmen all in full activity with
hammer, last, &c. Mr.. Budson making
the first named article fly rapidly, but
the most attractive incident was perhaps
in the sale department, in which a little
girl was trying on T" a pair of boots.
F. p Hadley had full and fine rep
resentation of his store and tin business,
including his new marbleized ware. 1t
was among the best business displays of
the day, and as his team passed many did
not fail to remember the motto in his
shop of cash in minute"
Clark Chase, furniture and numerous
other articles, had what many pronounce
ed the finest and handsomest looking
carriage in the line. The posts of the
sun shade were wound in red white
and blue, and it was covered with thick
paper neatly trimmed and profusely de-
corated with flags. 1t made very gay
as well as substantial appearance.
The next was DIR. Woods representa-
ton of his grocery and provision bust
ness. Also his novelty printing press in
one Of the paper mill teams.
A very interesting display was that of
the paper mill in full operation, by the
Fall Mountain Paper Co., in which pa
per was being made, the machinery run
ming and even the girl in her place lay
ing the sheets, In this establishment
we observed the veteran paper maker,
Mr.. Edmund Blake. This was well
thought of for Mr.. Blake made paper
here by hand machinery more than forty
years ago. Another team represented
the wood pulp mill, in which was DIR.
Woods novelty printing press, in full
operation by Geo. w. Kimball. On board
this carriage the representation was
from wood to paper all made and print
ed. Probably nothing in the line so far
represented inception to completion.
The machine shop of Messrs. Osgood
d Barker was the next representation.
1t was in full operation, and included
turning lathe in full movement, and was
a good representation of the well known
enterprise of that firm.
II. 0. Camps boot and shoe business
was handsomely represented by the new
carriage used by Hollis Streeter in sell
ing goods, and Mr.. Streeter was himself
engaged in active work along the line of
march.
Q. H. Whitman, carriage maker, had
a substantial representation of his bust
ness, and was followed by large load
of baskets from the mandatory of VIM.
p. Gage.
Next came Mr.. w. H. Upham, organs
and sewing machines. The organ was
afterwards used during the singing at
the grove, and Mr.. Upham thus contrib
uted his full share of the music of the
day. 1t was also played while in line.
The Vt. Farm Machine Co. had a
large display of agricultural implements,
including their celebrated sap evapora-
tors, besides moving machines, horse
rakes, &c. Some of the members of
this Co. on this occasion wore the rega-
liza of farmers or grangers, and appeared
to be at home" Their display was
large and included some FIVE teams in
line.
The Sovereigns of Industry, NJ. NJ.
Whitney, agent, had good representa-
ton of their cooperative store, and as
they passed along the streets, gave out
bills of what they propose to do by way
of trade, with invitation.
The next attraction was E. E. Dewey's
soda fountain and bottling apparatus, for
the thirsty man. From this fountain he
frequently served free soda drinks to the
people along the route. The fountain
was so strongly charged, that by whis-
tie attached to it he was able to answer
the purpose of steam engine, much to
the amusement Of the crowd.
O'Brien's milk cart next stood in line.
in which the driver guaranteed there
was no water
81. Adams, miller, had compact rem.
resentation of meal, grain and feed, a |
good representation of the best mill in
