Display of Winning Charts in Ad'
 vertiser Counting Room.

vertiser Counting Room.
 The Dot exhibit in The Advertisers corhting room attracted much attention yesterday
 Several hundreds of the charts are dis played on the walls and pasted to sheets of paper draped over newspaper file racks. with the winning charts displayed in frames and covered with glass.
 It was found that the room was not large enough to display rearly all the charts. so that the largest and best were selected for inspection. -5 Many unique designs are to be found among the large number.
 The exhibit is quite interesting to those who have competed for the many prizes and the tin and patti slce that has been devoted in making the charts is hard to believe until q glance through them is taken.
 The Dots will remain open to the public two or three days longer and the public is cordially invited 70 call and inspect this curious and interesting exhibit.
 The winners of prizes are requested to call for their prize money at any time, many having already done so.

For such people THE BELLECLAIRE has furnished suites of one, two or three rooms and bath, which may be occupied at reasonable rates for shorter or longer periods. It is an apartment house with the best features of a hotel. It Is a hotel with the best features of an apartment house. And it Is ab- so1ute1y new and absolutely fire proof.
