Especial mention is due the enterprising
firm of the Hewlett Bros. Soda Water
company for their most creditable exhibit
tion of soda waters, elders mineral waters,
ETC. In the opinion of many, their dis
play was the most complete and the best
of the entire fair. Occupying the south
east corner of the display room, the exhibi-
ton was arranged in the form of a pyra-
mid, extending from the floor to the cell
ihg, and IN appearance resembled a
mountain of coloreu bottles, massed TO dis
play to the best advantage their sweet con-
tents, while entwined throughout the
variagated pile, was the stars and stripes,
adding their brilliant hues TO the general
confusion of colors. Tue firm has been to
an expense of no little time and money in
getting up this most creditable display,
and richly deserves the gold medal awarded
them, by the committee.
