NOTABLE MENTION,
Auerbach, Finch, Culbertson s. Co,

Particularly interesting were the various
| spaces occupied by this great house in CONNER
| cial hail during fair week. Their display of
decorative and wall papers was exceedingly at
| tractive. but their exhibit of carpets, house
furnishing goods, upholstery, ETC., surpassed
| anything of the kind ever before presented.
In house furnishing goods there were twenty
five different lines. The list of carpets COM
prise Wilton, Administer and body brussels.
| In curtains the exhibit was superb; windows
hung with the richest raw silk artistically
| draped, producing most charming effect; also,
| long jnte and lace curtains Of the most modern
| style and finish. Shades in great variety. One
space representing bed chamber, was particu-
! larly pleasing to the ladies. The floor was
richly carpeted, with here and there fine
Turkish rug, and up IN the bed was a complete
lace bed set of most exquisite construction,
the whole apartment presenting most sump-
tuous appearance. The display of table linens
was equally attractive, and was pronounced by
judges to have been superior to anything Of
the kind ever before brought to this country.
Much credit is due Mr.. Chas. o. Rice, manager
of the retail department in carpets, upholster-
ing' wall papers, etc., of this house, for the
fine taste he has exhibited in arranging 80
beautiful and attractive display.
