The badges for the fire department
during convention week have arrived,
and are as fine lot of insignia as were
ever made. There are badges for the
different officials, the delegates, the
various com mmittees, all in different
styles and colors, and they will make
quite showing when displayed. Two's
hose has a very pretty badge of blue
ribbon with gilt letters and large
center peice medallion depicting the
rescue of life by fireman.
