The object Of food exposition, briefly
outlined, is to show to the consumer the
methods Of preparing articles OF common
use ia the food product line, AZ well as to
show up adulteration aud injurious sub
stitutions Of food The principal manu-.
facturors send handsome booths and dis
plays OF goods of their make In the various
stages OF preparation, and practical
demonstrators or cooks who serve sam
Piles and explain TO the public how 10
cook the article to obtain the best results
and also to show the purity OF the goods.
No manufacturer who makes inferior
food products has any business in one Of
these exhibitions. The visitor can safely
count on this and when he or she goes
home after visit they can order the
goods shown there aud obtain the best ;
for 1t is a settled fact that no small manu-
facturer with limited facilities and a
desire to substitute cheaper grade for a
higher priced and better ingredient Ia
his food preparation, will enter into com
petition with other and more honorable
firms in his line, before the public. These
exhibitions, therefore, serve good
purpose and are worthy Of patronage.
The Wilmington exposition will be the
/ equal Of tho annual Philadelphia affair In
/ point OF sttrsctivsness of exhibits; In
fact, coming as it does abont two weeks
before its older rival, the exhibitors will
very likely grange to come here first,
and they will put in the same class OF
goods, style of display and demonstra-
tions.
