FAIR NOTES

The display Of clothing made by Rothchild's
in Machinery hall is one Of unusual good TASTE
However, they had the right kind of stock to
do it with. Their merchant tailoring and
ready made clothing are just like the house
which deals them out-the best in the city
Persons passing through Agricultural Hall
could not fail to notice the large number of
blue ribbons attached to Moulton & Co.'s ap-
pies. There is no use talking, the Russian
apple Is the future apple of Minnesota 1t
only remains for our fruit growers and farm
ers to show the same energy and enterprise in
cultivating this fruit as Messrs. Moulton & Co.
have shown In placing it within their reach.
The President and wife and Gov. Pillsbury
and wife rode to the grounds and back in 8
magnificent fve-glass landau, and the hand.
some carriage divided attention with the beau
tlful horses which drew it and the distinguished
party that occupied it. 1t was pronounced by
all as by all odds the handsomest vehicle ever
brought to Minnesota, and many times were
the qustlOns asked, who made it?"-sswhere
did it come from?"' The GLOBE undertakes to
satisfy this very laudible curiosity, The Ian
dau was manufactured at the celebrated Stude-
baker factory at South Bend, Indiana,
and was only one of the splendid displays at
the great Northwestern exposition This car
rlage was purchased some time since by J. W.
johnson, Esq, proprietor of the North Star
iron works, and the historical vehicle will re-
main IN minneapolis, a souvenir OF the Presi-
dents visit.
All persons who visited the exposition in the
afternoon yesterday could not help bat notice
the many blue ribbons that were awarded this
great carriage manufactory.
Chrlstlan Dean are appointed Studbaker's
| agents for Minneapolis and vicinity. and will
keep constantly on hand a large variety of
all classes of their work, including some of the
b,,,
fine carriages that were displayed at the great
exhibition.
CARRIAGES.
Our friend Fred Roeller, proprietor of the
Novelty Carriage works, whose skill and ar
tlstic design in carriage manufacture received
just compensation for his efforts to please
his patrons, by receiving the most compliments
| upon his exhibit from the visitors at the expo
sltlon, OF any OF the numerous class in which
he entered. When the judges placed the blue
ribbon as symbol of the award upon his car
! rlages, slelghs, platform and side bar buggies
and phaetons, they but echoed the universal
verdict OF thousands who admired the beauti-
fnl and useful vehicles SO conspicuously dis
played by the enterprising manufacturer.
JOHNSON. SMITH T. HARRISON.
These boys the two first mentioned of whom
seven years ago, in the village of Minneapolis
started the job printing business with a cider
press and key of nails, have grown with our
municipal growth and strengthened with our
strength. until they now have the most extern
slve JOB printing office, book bindery and litho-
graphing establishment northwest of Chicago.
Ihey were represented on the grounds by an
transformations display of blank books and mis-
cellaneous binding, and specimens of printing
and ilthographing-no prepared for exhibit
tlon but taken from specimens of every day
work. Did they
CARRY OFF THE PREMIUM?
VI course they did, my boy-all of them, and
away from such veteran establishments as the
Pioneer Press and every other establishment
represented on the ground.
Their miscellaneous binding was especially
superb, being equal to the fancy work done in
Europe for agreat libraries. Messrs. johnson.
smith Harrison may well be proud
of their work and the appreciation it met with
at the ta1r, for they are beginning to be recog-
nlZed all over the West as the best and most
reliable firm in their lines, anywhere in the
West. Their display received the blue ribbon
on every article.
