CHICAGO, June "a, 1893.
1t seems to be tho proper thing that Yer
monters should receive report of their
sugar exhibit from time to time. That Yer
mont Is all right at Chicago and that her
maple sugar exhibit 10 worthy of the State
is now an assured fact. In both quantity
and quality, no State equals our own in
this department. The display of sugar in
bottles, jars and vases calls out word Of
admiration from the most careless observer,
and together with the sugar In cakes, pulls
and tubs 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 opinions arc
given below which will serve to show other
peoples estimate OF the practical value of
what is being done hore.
vermont has a beautiful sugar exhibit
and by means OF organized societies should
reach tie top round.

her efforts on the exempiflcaton of an IN
maple sugar pavilion is an admired success,
and will prove a good investment"

"The Vermont display of maple sugar is
very fine and will do more to advertise the
sugar business than anything that has been
done for many years.

"Vcrmont girls and Vermont sugar Gudg-
ing from the specimens on exhibition at the
worlds fair have not degenerated in the 80
years since left the Green Mountain st to. -

Now then, because our State hos done so
well we want her to do still better. We
have about so exhibits, all creditnble; we
would like to make it 100 and it is not too
late. Our space is like the old time stage
coach Tor modern electric9 always room
for more.
The main purpose of this writing Is to
invite any sugar maker in Vermont who
wants his name added to tho list of exhibit
ors to send us good sample. The neces-
sary expense will be to furnish about one
gallon of syrup, or its equivalent in sugar
and prepay tho express to Chicago. 1t
should be distinctly marked-"Vermont
Maple Sugar Exhibit Agricultural Build
ing, jackson Park, Chicago" Prepay
ment is necessary in order to insure de-
livery. The State will furnish handsome
glass bottles for syrup, and will Toxic the
very beat Of care of it. Since having OBJ
tanned q concession for selling we have
steam cookers to sugar off," and the
syrup can be bottled hot end be in condi-
ton to keep perfectly. No one need wait
to write for permission to send, but may
send right along and wrte at the time of
sending. We must make every motion
count this year to advertise pure Vermont
maple sugar.
a list OF exhibitors will be male for dis
tribution to such visitors as seem likely to
become customers. This list will serve not
only this year, but for score Of years to
come, aud all our best sugar makers should
be 'in it,.
At the selling concession we have started
brisk business, furnishing freshly made
sugar cakes and saucers Of hot sugar with
snow Shaved ice).
This exhibition of onr maple products,
supplemented by the sale of thom, makes
complete thing of the advertisement, and
your superin tendsnt being assisted in both de-
partments by some of the brightest; daug hters
of Vermont, feels sure of success in bis eff
forts to win Chicago and the world as adj
mirrors and purchasers Of Vermont maple
sugar Respectfully,
