principal attraction for the ladies, and
the men folks were there, too. As one
ente red the building from the south at
the right hand side was Newtown's pop
ular stove merchant, Ez j. Hall, and
his handsome exhibit Of stoves. One

play of stoves and this fact accounts
partly for Mr. Halls large business. He
exhibited the Round Oaks, Stewart Oaks,
Andes Cakes, Round Oak steel ranges,
cooking stoves, wood stoves, Rochester
radiators, and other makes. Mr. Hall,
himself, is like the oaks, reliable and
sturdy.
