NOTES.
A whole heap of praise for tho success of
the fair is due the indeftagible secretary,
Mr.. Heber M. Wells, who worked like a
Frogan all through to make everything sat
isfactory co both exhibitors and visitors.
Mr.. George d. Piper and his able assist
ants, Mr.. Ward E. Pack and Mr.. A. G.
Pyper were untiring in their zeals, cour-
teous and obliging to all and conducted the
affairs in a business like snd satisfactory
manner.
The silver cream label given by the Salt
Lake Pickle company was won by Mrs.
William Naylor, 269 East Second South
street, who guessed the number of pickles
in the jar at 479. The correct number was
ATS.
G. A. Campbell was the man who pur-
chased the 19999th entrance ticket at the
gate and got the prize of pair of ahoes
presented by Alder & Son.
The committee Of ladies awarded the
prize of pair of Butcher shoes to Presi-
dent @. P. Mason as the best appearing
man at the fair. G. P. was very modest
about it and went out aud hid in the
grounds to escape observation.
A PYRAMID of coffee with the / known
name Mokaska attracted the attention of
IHE HERALD man.
"Will you step cut and have cup Of
Mokaska with meln asked Mr. John A
Barker, the rustling western agent.
The HERALD man went. In tastefully
decorated booth on the outside two charm
ing young ladies dispensed the nectar of
| the gods, Mokaska TO crowds of thirsty
people. lone lump2' inquired the young
lady as she raised the sugar aloft. We
nodded and she dropped the sugar in the
cup and handed out delightful cup of
Mokaska. While we were slipping IL, Mr.
Barker was talking. s'You have no idea,"
said he "how large our sales have grown
in this territory since our triangle brand of
Mokaska has been introduced We sell it
in every city and hamlet, and when once
| used, people will drink no other. 1t is COM
posed of one-ffth each of equal parts Of
Mocha, Maracabo, Santos, Rio and Java
which c0nn0isseurs claim Is the finest
most aromatic and pleasant of all mixtures
OF coffee. Great care must be taken to
have coffee uniform in quality at all times
| and we pride ourselves that our Mokaskg
is uniformly the same high grade at all
times. We exhibit yearly at the fair and
give away thousands of cups of just such
delicious coffee as you are now drinking
Expensive advertising, yes, but Advertise
ing pays and Mokaska is the best coffee in
the world"
AS usual when he enters an exhibition.
Reading, the florist, walks of with di-
plomas, palms and the biggest amount of
admiration. This display of flowers and
plants has surpassed anything he has
brought out of late years. and the one
floral piece that has capped the climax
in the eyes of the ladies is his fac smile
OF piano constructed entirely of carna-
tions, dahlias and roses. the dark wood of
the casing and the white and black of the
lynu hnin nd h init fa6 hrf ha
artist. Besides his piano Reading had a
bewildering array of flower pots, about 200
in all, q beautiful gates ajar, five boQuers,
three baskets and smaller flowers without
number. A decided feature of his display
was that all the flowers were home grown,
and this fact greatly added to the wonder
of the beholders when it was ex-
planned to them.
The Salt Lake Pickle company's display
was one that called forth the warmest
praises the whole week Mayor Baskln
warmly complimented the company on the
exhibit and said the pickle factory was
credit to the city. The company was
awarded the first prize for its display of
catsups; first prize for the best assert
ment of pickles, and the T. G. M. I. special
prize for the best two cases OF Utah raised
pickles. This was very gratifying to the
company which is q new concern, and it
w
the fair to receive an offer for its entire ex-
hibit from the burst Grocery company
The whole stock on display, about fifty
dozen bottles OF pickles, catsups, horse
radish, gherkins, etc., was sold TO that COM
pany.
This display Of "Formula"-The Utah
Baking Powder'' attracted much atten-
ton, not only on account OF being home
production, but because it is probably the
only powder ever sold with the understand
ing that it "costs nothing If not absolutely
satisfactory" Grocers and druggists are
instructed to sell it in this way. OF course
none but articles of the highest merit are
offered under such conditions. There is
every reason to believe people will find the
Formula Baking Powder just as repre-
sented by the manufacturers.
Successful manufacturers of home goods
are quite plentiful today in Utah, and the
fair exhibits showed as example several
who take front rank, among whom none
are more prominent than the James G. Nc
| Donald Candy company. All day long and
for several days their beautiful display in
the fair, en bracing 800 different kinds of
candy, was the object of surprise and at
tention. They received the gold medal
and diploma and took in every prize offered
! for candy. 1t was one OF the features of
| the fair, and Mr. Frank jennings chief of
the Utah department. Of manufactures, was
so impressed with it that he invited Mr..
Mcdonald to take his exhibit TO the
Worlds fair. Among their candies the
Greek cough drop, which is a very rare
article. takes front rank. Their lemonade
drops and cream goods make oue's mouth
water to look at, and their crimp and
ribbon candies are choice novelties.
| located on Main street, is three thousand
pounds of candy per day, and candy that is
of the purest make and vastly superior to
anything imported. Their sales are rapidly
increasing and their business extending
| into all the adjoining states and territories.
The James G. Mcdonald Co. takes first
rank IS manufacturers of pure candies.
| Hewlett Brothers, the large soda water
manufacturers had over two thousand bot
ties in their beautiful display at the fair.
No such display has ever been seen IN the
building as was shown by this enterpris-
ing firm. They manufacture thirty five
kinds of elders and soda waters and their
champagne cider is famous all over the
west and is put up in bottles that look ex
actly like Mumm's extra dry.
! In their factory they use electricity to q
lar ge extent and even wash their bottles
