What Saw AT the detroit Internn-
tiOnal Fair and Expedition.

tiOnal Fair and Exposition.
The third annual international Fair and
Exposition at Detroit this year was mag
nlhcent affair, far exceeding, TO my mind
all previous exhibitions. AS some OF your
readers could not attend it, permit me
space Tor few notes of interest.
On entering the main building | noticed
n vast crowd, who were greatly interested
IN complete representation of cariet
weaving from its earliest history presented
In "A life-like manner. This interesting and
Instructive exhibit was made by Gamble 81
Partridge, the well-knuwn carpet house of
Detroit. IL even exceeded their notable
display OF two years ago. and spoke elo-
quently of the enterprise of this irm which
by integrity and fair dealing has built up u
very large business.
a remarkable display I glass In the form
OF n glass house was made by VIM. Reid and
atracted everybody. The sides of this
beautiful palace were made into panels, the
beautifully wrought designs of ground,
stained, bevcled and cut glass which filed
each panel, show hat the work Is beyond
the pale of mechanical skill alone, art adds
her share, and such windows. How beauti-
fully the colOrs blend and are Swallowed on
the walls truly IL is a oy to have the glo-
r;ous sunlight come into your room in such
superb colOrs. Glass is fragile, but us shown

whether 1T be common 6x0 or beautiful
designs in stained glass or plate of any size.
The main building Is the largest In Amer
lea, and the entire show space is not ex-
ceeded by any fair in the world
The American Eagle Tobacco company,
exhibited number OF their popular brands
OF tobaccos, and distributed thousands of
samples of their "Myrtle Navy" cut plug
smoking and "OricntaI' fine cut tobaccos.
To those who take delight in an enjoyable
smoke or delicious chew | have but TO say
try Myrtle Navy or Oriental.
In the business OF life insurance there Is
no company that deserves more credit than
the Michigan Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany, which had an Office In the center of
the first floor in the main building. Indeed
1t Is only necessary to refer to the names of
its officers and directors. They are known
as men OF high character, as well as large
wealth, throughout the limits of the state,
and many of them beyond its boundaries,
and this fact assures the people that this
company is entitled to their confidence and
worthy OF their trust. Especially is this
true OF tho president, Hon. Thomas w. Pal
mer, who is we'll and favCraby known al
over the land, and to the secretary, o. l..
LOCKER is largely due the success OF the Or
ganization. This company wrote over five
millions OF new Insurance last year. The
first half of this year over three million.
Its policies are plain, liberal, just and afford
an excellent investment
How clock-worky everything moved on.
The management knows how to keep an ex-
position, a task which double discounts
that Of Reilly, they speak of SO highly.
The ladies thronged around the exhibit of

thing that lessons womans drudgery Is u

sweeping The exhibitor announced that
state and county rights were Tor sale.
That science has taught how to produce
and preserve the cream pure and sweet,
was shown by the Flint Cabinet Creamery
company in their Wilson cabinet creamery
which was greatly admired by everybody.
Their exhibit was the largest ana most
interesting in the dairy department.
The live stock show was unprecedented.
The stables and sheds, by the way, are tho
best Of their kind to be found anywhere.
The honey comb foundat ion exhibited by
J. Van Deusen & Sons, OF Sprout Brook, n.
Y, demonstrated its merits by the award
OF the first prize for honey combs to that
firm. They deal in all hive requisites.
The most notable exhibit Of agricultural
implements was that Of the Gowandq Agyi-
cultural Works company, OF Gowanda, N.
Y. Their fine display OF steel plows, potato
diggers, field rollers, etc, and their dog or
sheep power for churnng always drew "a

DESERVED SUCCESS

the next one has begun already by the
announcement of the dates, which VIII
come in the last weeks of August, '0!. AS

the Chicago columbian Worlds Fair, let
everybody make up their minds to attend
the next show at Dctrot-which will be
better than ever, the management says-is
the friendly advice of OMEGA.
