FLORAL HALL
The display made by the merchants In
fleral hall vas fne, and some of the dis
plays were exceptionally so. All of the
space given for such purpose was taken
and we'll filed.
On entering at the east entrance very
neat and attractive display in the booth at
the left caught the visitors eye and held it.
The COnger Company showed that they
could make as neat a display in booth at
county fair as they can in their crowded
but well kept store on Exchange street. A
table, set with the most charming blue and
gold dinner set, was almost tempting enough
to make the Onlooker wish to sit down, al
though there was nothing in sight to eat
Pictures, hanging lamps, sideboard, filed
with other choice dishes and an obliging
clerk ready to explain and hand out men,
orandum books to visitors, completed the
display.
On the right was display of shoes of all
kinds; fancy shoes for ladies, gentlemen and
children, shoes to suit the most fastidious,
while several huge sheets of leather, bore
cards, telling the observer that they were
the kind of stock which is used by the Sails
bury shoe factory. Finished samples of
their work were also displayed one grade
being lumberman's sock shoe with heavy
rubber sole, which ought to be, as it is, a
good seller and favorite with numbering
men.
Roth has good bicycles to display or to
sell and he displayed some of his best
There were the Warwick, the $40 special,
made by Hilsendegen, of Detroit the vi
king, with its large, strong but light tubing
"a handsome wheel and perched above all,

est and handsomest wheels bull.
The Singer sewing machine people al
ways make an attractive display, and this
time was no exception. A number of ma
chimes with attendants to show them off
filed the foreground, while the back ground
was draped with spreads, fancy work and
curtains most elaborately worked with deli
cate designs, all done by their machines.
The booth beyond this held stock of
fancy groceries and choice canned goods,
which would have stocked two or three
small country groceries for year. The eX-
hibit was mainly made up of Reid, Muir
dock & Cos elegant line of canned goods,
showing profuslon of pickles of every
variety, sauce, fruits, etc., while tobaccos
and a case of sllyerware, which is given to
customers, addel to the display, which was
the best exhibit of groceries ever made in
the hall. In the back ground was life
sized portrait OF the self-styled little black
driedup cuss," who knows how to run a
grocery and make 1t most neat and attrac'
tive one-W. s. Hunt.
Duff's mind always runs to "K0rkers"
and he sells teas and coffees. In fact, I'M
less he could sell teas and coffees he would
doubtless retire from the grocery business
in disgust. OF course he sells all kinds of
groceries and lots of them too aud enjoys it,
selling both at wholesale and retail, but
still it pleases him best to sell his "Korker"
tea. His display in the hall was entirely
devoted to teas and coffees and was good
one.
l. q. Curry didn't know how warm it was
going to be and so left his fine display of
gasoline stoves In his store. but he had
stoves for every other kind of fuel, includ-
ing kerosene heaters. His display of Gar
land stoves and ranges was fine, These
stoves, in fact, make fine display for them
selves wherever and whenever. they are
shown, and this time was no exception to
the ruls.
Cheapside sells dishes, and at table, set
for six, there was dinner set arranged in
paost tastily style, while in and on side
board, placed in the corner were all the ad-
ditional dishes one would think of or wish
for. A large life size doll which was
bolstered up at the table like an invalid had
an almost hungry look on its face as 1t
looked around on that dinner set. Fancy
lamps and attractive pictures on the wall
added to the appearance of the booth.
On the north side. az the west entrance
was large booth, the floor of which was so
prettily covered with choice carpeting and
rugs that the observer was Immediately
tempted to get over in and walk on them.
Large rolls of carpetlng were also arranged
