The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1889-10-04

noor, household, white enamel, mixed pure
colored lead and SO on. All are mixed
ready for use, and are put up in packages
ranging from quart to ton gallons.
Here is variety surely. Now we are at
tracted by the show made by the Morton
Baking Go, of the state metropolis. At
their exhibit we were told that 30 barrels Of
their Snowflake Waters and IN.
butter crackers had been given away be-
fore we arrived. But there were more left,
and the crowd ate and praised the quality.
"Three on q card" was the word. This
toothsome array of bread, cakes, crackers,
ETC., acted like n lodestone on so many
needles aud we admit to tearing ourselves
away with regret The Morton Baking
Co., can afford to let people see what they
can do. In friendly rivalry with other con-
Germs, they have built up an immense bust
ness, and their M" is letter known to
everyone who buys crackers to sell or con-
sumo There is no dyspepsia among Nor
tons customers, we are sure.
The white horse of L. q. Miles, the fam
Gus turf. goods man OF Detroit, made us
think of our (golden-haired) sweetheart at
home. The $500 harness, silver. mounted
md Detroit made, ELECTED warm praise.
Tho entire display, harness, robes, general
slddlery, etc, was first class, and befitted
the exhibitor.
Charles Wright & Co., manufacturing
chemists of Detroit, had fiEsiy arranged
exhibit OF their Red Gross Cough Cure, and
beautiful display of their popular toilet
requisite. Wright's Myrrh Tooth Soap,
dentifrico acknowledged to be 8" gem I"
by those who appreciate an elegant set of
white teeth
II was nerve that originated and carried
out the idea Of the Detroit Exposition. It
was nerve that put in the displays. "Coal
seemed to offer bat few opportunities for
attraction But o. w, Shipman has nerve.
This Detroit house had house at the Ex-
position--a house made entirely of coal.
Very handsome it was, too and everybody
went to see it. Shipman solved the prob
lem of making dark subject bright. 1t is
a coal-ed day when he gets left
"Come and see Gordon's cats" observed
a friend Expected to find some speci-
mems of that useful and sleep-disturbing
feline, rare enough to find place in such a
grand array of wonders. But not cat
was beard-not funeral note, as we drew
nigh. Instead were 80 men making Cor.
doa's Cats " and sd. T." cigars. About
$4,000 of these were turned out every day,
and the work drew a steady crowd. The
machines used seemed to US to fit the
emergency like the paper on the wall.
Several young ladies were among the
operatives, and we had the pleasure of
smoking fragrant Havana fresh from the
fair hands of beauty. Of course this made
it taste all the sweeter, though that man by
our side said that his was just as good and
man made it. Two growing tobacco
plants and bale of Sumatra completed

from the earth to the mouth of the smoker.
From the practical to the poetic now.
80 we batake ourselves to the beautiful
booth of Thompson, Chute 81 Co, of To-
ledo, O, whose Exposition poet apostro-
phized "Silver, Silver, Silver Soap" in
words without lye in them, The gifts
offered for 90 Wrappers of this renowned
soap made the eyes of the crowd bulge till
they all came near falling into the space
reserved for the exhibit
The six hundred dollar billiard table was
beauty. 1t was seen in the grand exhibit
of the Schulenburg Manufacturing Co., of
Detroit. This pioneer house makes most of
tie tables we rich Michiganders use, and
nobody is found to fud fault with them.
The firm keeps abreast of the times, and
lets no improvement pass unutilized.
The display of Charles A. Streiinger %
Co., consisting of tools for wood and metal
workers, fine machinery and supplies for
all mechanical purposes, was particularly
fine and complete, and many mechanic
cast longing eyes at the handsome sample
board containing upwards of eight hun
dred small tools no two alike. Messrs.
G. A, 8. 81 Co.'S idea seemed to be to show
more especially the novelties and latest inn
proved labor saving tools, taking 1t Tor
granted that any one would understand
that they keep a full line of the regular
staple goods. This firm did not enter their
display for premium, for the reason that
there was no competition, and they did not
care for "empty honors," although, in
their line, they would undoubtedly give any
one in this country Tor any other) "hvely
shake"
Passing out of the main building, we
took'a stroll through the grounds and
found much to interest. The neat and
handsome building of the New York Life
Insurance Company was visited. Here we
were given map of Detroit of latest
date. About COCO pounds Iof print
ed matter was distributed there in adver-
Using the claims of this company-the
only life-insurance company represented.
It offers some unique advantages, for in
formation regarding which we refer your
readers to Mr.. O. w. Moore, manager for
Michigan, at 10 Lafayette avenue, Detroit.
But the sweet music from the great
building, especially that emanating from
the establishment of the Detroit Music Co.,
charms us back. Following the crowd, we
reached the wonderful house of Berry Bros,
the we'll known Detroit manufacturers of
varnishes. 1t was " Gum Cottage" COM
posed of the various gums used by the firm
in the manufacture of its varnishes. These
gums are collected from almost every
known portion of the globe, Africa, India,
Egypt, Zanzibar, the Manila Islands, the
Levant, the Baltic, South America, Trini-
dad, New Zealand, and many other coun-
tries. Most of them are fossil gums, thous-
ands of years old. The Gum Cottage was
16xl6 feet by 10 feet high; 10000 pounds
of gum was used in its construction, and
the entire value of the exhibit was about
$4,000. The beautifully paneled interior
was finished entirely with Berry Bros,
hard oil finish. In their factory the firm
use annually 1900, 600 pounds of gum, the
daily output of varnishes of all grades be-
ing 200 barrels. The products are shipped
to Great Britain, Canada, and largely to
Cuba and South America. Everybody
talked of the "Gum Cottage" and to miss
