to the booth occupied by the Willmar
Gasoline Engine Works. Here are
found both the 14-horse and 6-horse
power engines, aud an exhibition Ct
their motive power is given at inter-
walls by Manager Lars Halvorson,
who is the inventor.
One of the Willmar industries that
Is perhaps little known outside of the
city is that of the Willmar Broom
Co., K. T. Otos, proprietor. Here
was found a display of the fire
brooms made by this concern, as we'll
as the broom corn used in their manu-.
facture.
Lewis Fridlund & Co.. is the name
of new firm that has purchased the
right of sale in Kandiyohi county for
the new invention, ''12 tools in one."
This is handy device for farmers
and attracted considerable attention
at the booth. :.
A miniature duck pond greeted the
eye of the passer-by at the booth Of
the hardware company OF Lundquist
Bros. Ducks and geese were enjoying
q swim and in the vicinity were all
kinds of hunting goods suggestive OF
the hunting season. Cutlery, wire
fencing, the Malleable Monarch iron
and steel range and the Peninsular
sto> es were among the many exhibits
shown by this enterprising firm.
It is needless to state that Willmar
has a tannery that is certainly doing
some very fine work. The Willmar
Tannery had very creditable display
OF robes and skins which was in
charge of the proprietor, And. o.
Sather. A nicely-mounted deer head,
the first work done in this line by Mr..
Sather, received much comment.
Baklund & Jansrud, our popu-
lar photographers, have very
creditable display of the work done at
their gallery and no doubt have been
entertaining numerous customers this
week as a result.
Last but not least we come to the
handsome booth of the "Popular
Store" Berkness, Peterson & Co.
An imitation of an arched marble
front, with large and real show
window, makes the foreground to one
OF the most attractive displays in the
Midway. Ladies' cloaks and wraps,
furs, dress goods, mems and boys
clothing are nicely exhibited.
In passing through Midway you
notice many various exhibits, but
when you come to the country store
you naturally stop. Painted signs
are found both on the inside and out
sides of it. These are some samples
that give suggestions as to our for
fathers good old times. "a Good
phase to traid." "No flies In Our
sirup.' eve Buy for credit And
Sell for Cash" "Last years Eggs
cheap" Tomorrow Night we in.
vOise.'
These and more will give you a good
idea about the good old time, when
the country boys assembled to the
store on Saturday evenings to firt
with the pretty maidens and chew
"terbacker," but it is question
whether it is allowable at this particu-
lar one. ST Hopp is the genial pro-
prietor, and the maidens who are
spending their youthful years there
are Misses Leonora Boyd and Matte
Lien.
Among the exhibits shown outside
OF the Midway was the Herr Gas
Machine and the brilliant light pro-
duced by this continuance. A 1900
candle power light was produced in
furnishing light for the TRIBUNE
Office. The exhibit was in charge of
F. F. Nelson, who has the agency for
this system of lightning.
G. M. Robbins was kept busy at q
location on Litchfeld avenue demon
strating the utility of the Fairbanks.
Morse & Co. Eng ines for all pumpirp
purposes.
