RACINE EXHIBITS At TIE FAIR.

f|O7n the Racine Journal.
Mr.. R. F. Roberts, the Secretary of the
Kenosha County Agricultural Society, was in
the city on Saturday and Monday interview
ing our manufacturers in regard to exhibit
ing their goods at the Kenosha fair. He
reports finding among them thorough ap.
probation of the value of local industrial
exhibitions in bringing the consumer and
producer into acquaintance with each other,
and making known to the consumer where
his wants and requirements can be best
supplied, and giving the producer a
knowledge of the demands to be met and
how to meet them. The secretary was
highly gratifed with the kindly feeling
manifested by our manufacturers towards
the Kenosha County Agricultural Society
and the disposition evinced to assist in max
ing an exhibition at the Kenosha fair to be
held next week.
1t is fair to assume that our manufacturers
will be well and largely represented at the
industrial exhibition at Kenosha, as will also
our horsemen, stock-raisers and other agri-
cultural interests. Mr.. Roberts reports
finding our manufactures as full of workers
as healthy hive of bees. The proprietors
admit that, with all their forces and working
over hours, they are at present unable to
meet the demand for their goods. Among
the novelties the secretary came in contact
with is four-spring wagon at the carriage
works of A. C. Fish. The makeup Of this
wagon is an entire new departure, and a
patent has been applied for. By dividing the
reach, and placing it outside the line Of the
box, it can be set down low, and is as easy

ment all oscillatory motion is obviated Mr..
Fish has evidently made hit. To see this
vehicle will be to want one. Mr.. Fish will
try to get one finished in time to show at the
Kenosha fair.
Mr.. Goehner, the enterprising proprie-
tor of the Racine wire works, has per-
fected and patented a separator for per-
fectly cleaning wheat. It takeS out every
cookie and weed seed. 1t also separates the
" heat into two qualities. 80 that the farmer
can get the choicest of the wheat to SOW.
The price is within the reach of even the
smallest wheat-growers. Mr.. Goehner will
exhibit at the Kenosha fair
Mr.. Lobdell, large manufacturer of har.
ness, will exhibit samples of his work at the
Kenosha fair. By the use of improved

the cost of labor in making harness. The
leather he uses is nearly all made by N. R
Allen g. Sons, of Kenosha.
Among the other manufacturers who have
given assurances of their intention to exhibit
are ]. l. Case & Co., threshing machine and
engine A. P. Dickey, tanning mills and
corn shelters; A. McAvoy, open and top
single and double carriages and buggies
Blake s. Co., Badger State shawls; Fish
Bros. & Co., carriages and Duggies; Racine
Refrigerator Co., refrigerator. The Racine
Silver Plate Works will make magnifcen
display of their goods equal to that they vii
make at the State fair.
Realizing the value of local industrial
exhibitions in developing home industries
and promoting the prosperity of all, W
sincerely hope the efforts Of the management
Of the Kenosha County Agricultural Society
will meet with merited success in their com
| ing exhibition.
