products are displayed in the most
appetizing manner. III the center OF
tie front window ledge IS an aQaar-

with galvanized iron and is especially
devised for the display OF fresh fish.
The Christmas display III this window

Back of the ice chest IS the store
room which. being on the main floor
and being used tor no other purpose,
is an invaluable convenience.
One of the most interesting things in
the basement is the sausage cutter,
which is new rotary machine and
probably the only one of its kind in
this section of the state Its capacity
is about 1,2OO pounds per hour which
can, under necessity, be increased to
1900 pounds. Its action is smooth and
its work perfect. 1t makes no more
noise than the average sewing machine.
On this floor is the steam heating
and power boiler, 4-horse-power horl-
zontal steam engine, steel jacketed
steam lard rendering vat and numer
Gus other appliances, and here is done

The rendering vat is covered with a
funnel shaped ventilator which carries
