1.-THE Elmendorf Exhibit.

This old and we'll known hardware
and agricultural implement house
have the most artistic display in
Machinery Hall. IL occupies So feet on
the east side of the central passage
way and would have occupied twice
that space had not the exhibitor,
who is also one of the directors of the
association, surrendered space for
others. One of the most notable of
the exhibits is the disc of mill, ma
chine, and hand saws skillfully ar
ranged as a center piece between the
terraced stagings upon which the
pillow exhibits are shown. The staging
on the left is occupied with the work
manship of the Oliver chilled pillow
company of South Bend, Indiana, the
whole forming a perfect poem in steel,
stained wood, polish and paint
attention. The Cassaday sulky pillow,
one of the most deservedly popular of
agricultural implements, is among the
articles manufactured by the Oliver
company and exhibited here.
The Elmendorf exhibit includes the
manufactures of the David Brady
plows, cultivators, corn planters, and
sulky plOws, as well as those of the
South Bend firm. BradIy's is a Chi
cago house, with branches in st.
Louis, Minneapolis, Council Bluffs,
Kansas City, and is we'll known to the
southwestern agricultural trade.
Here are found the corn shelters and
feed cutters of the st. Louis house of
Rumsey d Co., and a general run of
agricultural implements as well. The
exhibit includes fine display of the
well known reaper mandatory of Nc
Cormick d Co., of Chicago, including
mowers, reapers, self binders,
and last, but by no means
least, the celebrated self-raking reap
er daisy" A daisy in work as
well as in name. Not the least
worthy of notice is a farmers forge
for blacksmith work, a really in
genious and time and labor saving
implement, just which you choose to
call it. The exhibit also includes
saws, axes, cOru knives, hatchets and
few cutting instruments, but no dis
play OF shetland heavy hardware. iron
metals, and bars has been ATTEMPTED.
This exhibit is artistically ar
ranged, and shows no little taste in
its makeup. 1t is the most onspicu-
Gus in the machinery hall, and is
elegantly set off by the handsome
pots of Towering plants disposed
among the hardware. The display is
a credit to the exposition as well as
hrst-class advertisement for Elmen-
dOrf d Co.
