GOLDSMITH GREAT BOOTH.
A little of everything from Goldsmith's
Book and Stationery store-ever so little
means more than wheelbarrow-load
when it is reassembled in that epito-
mixed 1Goldsmith's" down on the west
side Of the South Main street section.
You say books, fine stationery, gold pens,
pictures, art trinkets, kodaks, fine peck
etbook, and such like leather goods,
toys artists colors, paper-workers ma
terials, bookcases, dictionaries, CYCLIC
pedias, and a lot more, and then you've
just begun to enumerate the pretty and
withal solidly useful things which
constitutes the GoIdsmtfs exhibit a
type of a well equipped retail establish
ment in itself. The artists hand is
everywhere manifest in the arrangement
and in the decorations, inside and out
of what will linger in the visitors mem
DRY as one of the most attractive and
representative displays in the entire
street fair. Mr.. Michael Goldsmith IS in
charge of this miniature "Goldsmith's''
and no one could better represent the
interests of this strictly up-to-date firm
FINE ART NEEDLEWORK.
An artist and teacher of the first rank
in her special line is Miss Cleaveland,
who is settled in a pleasant corner I'm the
Goldsmith's booth. She has on exhibit
ton, a large number Of samples, all being
of her own work, which for the manual
dexterity manifest in every thread, for
completeness and unity in designing and
for the exquisite chromatic blendings and
harmonies, would indeed be hard to excel
There is always to be found about her
exhibit a little crowd of admirers of
beautiful things, whose praise is I'M
stinted of the many delicate creations.
Miss Cleveland takes chief pride in
centerpiece in greenland white. Some
samples of designs on boiling silk are
sure to excite the beholder's sincere ad-
miration.
