buggies, rubber tired Stanhopes, and sur

in attendance and disc0ursed fine music
that fitted harmoniously with the gener-

impression that one taxes in a casual

something on the order of a large store
room with a lot OF bgggies in 1t, but the
Smythe rooms are something altogether
different ana are revelation to the av-
erage sight seer and thing Of beauty
10 the eye of the artist. The whole up
per cor is devoted to buggies and the
stock is all new and Up to date and the
latest masterpieces Of the builders art.
Various makers are represented in the
display, among them being the Columbus
Buggy Co, Rothman & Luth, Heskit &
Hodge and the Racine Wagon and Car
rage Co
one Of the special features Of the dis
play was the Hes1.L ana hodge Stanhope
and the cut-Under rubber tired open sur
rey from the same makers. The bloomer
three-wheeled Stanhope also attracted
attention, as it is a novelty. ". A.

presence to the occasion and interested
the people IN the new hidden spring
