VERMONT MAPLE SUGAR EXHIBIT,
AGRICULTURAL BUILDING,
Chicago, June 26, 1898
1t seems to be the proper thing that Yer
monters should have a report of their sugar
exhibit from time to time. That Vermont
is "all right at Chicago and that her maple
sugar exhibit is worthy of the state is now
an assured fact In both quantity and
quality no state equals ours in this depart
ment. The display of syrup in bottles,
jars and vases calls out word of admira-
ton from the most careless observer, and
together with the sugar in tubs, pals and
cake, satisfies the most critical eXamina-
ton. Visitors often make complimentary
remarks about our exhibit, sometimes eX-
pressing their appreciation in writing in
our register. Several of these expressions
are given below which serve to show other
peoples estimate of the practical value of
what is being done here:
Vermont has a beautiful sugar exhibit and by
means ofo rganzed societies should reach the top
notch. T. ID. BULLOCK.
