just how many Of the articles In everyday
use are made.
KEARNEY COTTON AND BICYCLES.
Probably the most interesting Of all Is
The exhibit OF the Kcarney cotton mill. The
idea OF cotton cloth manufacture Is gener-
ally associated with New England or the
south and few comparatively OF the people
OF the state have any idea that such thing
as cotton cloth is made in the state. A
loom is shown in operation and 1t goes right
on doing business Just the same, whether
any one is watching it or not Samples Of
the finished product Of the mill are shown

Nevins company manufacturers OF ready
made clothing. They show complete line
OF overals. rough work coats and the ordi-
nary grades of ready made mems wear.

tracts attention is from Kearney. Every
one nowadays Is interested in bicycles, and
over the booth is the Significant motto
"Patronize Home Industry Here is a
complete lire Of bicycles, both for men.
women and children. One OF the novelties
in the display is an attachment for any ordl-
nary single bicycle for the carrying OF chill
dren. II is an extension frame which fits in
behind and to which a regular bicycle seat
IL attached. At first glance II looks like
very short tandem and it Is with the exccp-

william Snyder has on exhibition some
OF as fine specimens OF the carrage-maker's
art as is to be seen anywhere. Mr.. Snyder

Is well worth more than a passing notice.
