A number of gentlemen interested in
an exhibition of Flathead county fruits
and vegetables, in Butte and Helena,
met in the Office of the Bee Monday

the display. A committee composed of
Messrs Bishop, Whiteside and Stannard
was appointed to raise funds to defray
the expenses, and enough money was
secured Tuesday and Wednesday to
assure it's success
The exhibit will remain ten days in
Butte, and for the same length of time
in Helena. About fifty boxes of choice
fruit and fine collection of vegetables,
together with photographs of scenery in
the county, will be selected and taken to
these cities.
In Helena the exhibit will probably be
made at the Parchen Drug company's
store and in the Office of the Great
Northern in Butte. Both places are
centrally located. John Wood will have
charge of the display in both places.
When the fruits and Vegetables in the
exhibit have answered their purpose,
they will be sold, and the amount re-
ceived paid those furnishing them.
Persons having anything which they
think would build up the exhibit, should
take them to Broderick Il Walkers drug
store.
The exhibit will be packed and
shipped Wednesday afternoon, and all
who expect to furnish fruits and veg
etables are earnestly requested, by the
gentlemen who are arranging the dis.
play, to bring in W hat they have by that
time.
