Such is the booth of the S. A.
Gas Co.'s exhibit just to the right
of the main entrance of the build
ing. At night, when the myriads
of incandescent, WelsbaCh gas and
electric lights are turned on, the
effect is dazzling in the extreme,
and the working Of the switches
illustrates what can be done with
electric light and power when har-
messed, being perfectly harmless to
the operator using same. This eX-
hibit includes gas heating and
cooking as also electric cooking
stoves. One of the features of the
display is realistic log fire using
gas for heat.
Various power motors and cleo
trio fans are here shown, one of
these motors being attached to a
Singer sewing machine operated
by an expert shirt maker en-
plOyed by the firm of w. A. Lewis
& Co., the custom shirt manufac-
turers.
Mr.. II. d. Kampmann is presi-
dent and Mr.. Fred. Fries secretary
of the S. A. Gas Co. Much praise
is due to Mr.. Pat O'Hara, the cleo
trician in charge, for the designs for
this magnificent exhibit.
THE EXHIBIT OF c. w. DUNFEE
4 co.
G.. w. Dunfee & Co.'s booth, sit
uated on the second floor, north
side, represents the southern sit
ting room of a well-to-do southern
family. The walls are treated in
light blue background, with hand
painted frieZe, representing Grecian
figures, in water colors, relieved
with wild flowers. The floor is of
hard woods, inlaid and beautifully
polished. The mantel is of highly
finished light oak, beveled plate
mirrors, with white and blue til
ing, to match the surroundings.
The CRATE is of polished brass,
with lighted gas logs on fire irons,
realistic of a southern wood fire.
The front and entrance Of this
booth is the most artistic and eX-
pensive work of art in the build
ing.
The drapings were specially i'm
ported for this occasion, and are of
rare and rich design and material,
costing in the neighborhOOd of
800.
The walls are hung with oil paint
ings, painted by A. Mcdonald, the
manager and decorating artist of G.
w. Dunfee & Co., on Houston street,
who designed the handsome booth
in its entirety.
THE ART EXHIBIT OF FRANK
| MARSH.
Situated in the extreme south
west corner of the third floor is the
booth of Frank Marsh. This
booth is in imitation of Grecian
architecture, and the firm have
gone to a great deal of expense in
erecting same. The style of relief
work is quite appropriate for in
terror decorations, and requires a
great amount of skill and design
ing power on the part of the dec
orator. The walls are hung with
rare paintings and works Of art,
and the balance of space is taken
up with an exceptionally fine dis
play of paints, painters supplies,
wall paper, moulding, etc.
This booth is certainly a feature
of the Midwinter fair, and must be
seen to be fully appreciated. The
spacious and handsome store of
Frank Marsh is situated at 800 and
324 f. Houston street.
