Thlvlirm had most advantageous location,
and the arrangement of their goods was In
keeping with the excellent quality thereof.
Bertan Co. are 90 years old, do business of
ovei s40o0,o00 year, and their trade is con-
stantly Increasing. The business world wonder
at the novelty and lavishness of money ex-
pended in placing the merits OF the Russell"
before the smoking public, but the unprece-
denied sales justified the enterprise. To Mr..
II. ]. Sinclair. Of the firm, and general man
agei, is due the great increase in their trade
for The last five years. The taste displayed in
arranging the exhibit was highly creditable to
Mr.. II. K. Parsons, the manager OF the cigar

And now for lunch, where delicious lunches
were served. w. j. Gould s. Co.. of Detroit,

then. Near the center of the building the
largest display was made. Here u number Of
young women were kept busy serving coffee
and hot biscuit. Their famous "Jamo" and
"Bismarck' brands of coffee were served and
theft delicious flavor made friends of every
coffee drinker. Both are mixtures of the best
coffees and have become great leaders with
the trade. On Friday more than 5000 pounds
OF 'yamo' were purchased by retail merchants
in Detroit. "Jamo" retalls for So cents per
pound, and the Bismarck" for 30 cents Their
quality however, as compared with other cof-
fees would warrant them in asking much
higher price, A little further along came the
tea booth, which was in charge of Mr. Tamaki
Watanabe, the son of one of the largest tea
producers and purveyor of tea to His Imperial
Majesty's Court Of Japan Every woman will
