THE MODERN CITY DAIRY.
A Very Trim Little Establishment Finished In
White and Gold.

Store fittings Of various kinds were never so
fine as now. In grocery stores and in butcher
shops are to be found fine cabinet work, and
brass rails. and that sort of thing, all in keep
ing with the modern spirit Of progress in even
the commonplace things of life. Perhaps the
most striking. as it certainly is the simplest,
exemplifcation of this tendency is to be found
in the up-to-date city dairy, which 1t is the
fashion nowadays TO finish in white; all
white; the white paint being sometimes touched
with gold here and there. where there are
mouldings or pannelings or scroll work, on
counters, or on built-up ice boxes.
Everything sold here. milk and cream and
eggs and butter, Is white or yellow, and the
style of finish Is appropriate. The place looks
fine by day and 1t ligh . up handsomely by
night; 1t is as trim and neat as anything well
could be; and when you come to the f~anciful
name over the door or on the window more and
more farms and diaries nowadays bear names),
why, the little white and gold establishment
becomes all the more attractive, and people
are ready to accept it as, at ono the most dis:
~tinctive and the most pleasing illustration Of
modern fashions in city store decoration.
