SODA FOUNTAIN IS OPENED
Handsome New One Installed at
Keith-0 'Brien's Does a Rush
ing Business. s-s

The new soda fountain that has Just
been installed by tie Keith O'Brien CON-
pany was opened yesterday. The candy
department was also opened. The foun-
tam is made from the best Italian and
Georgia marble that can be quarried.
and has bronze trimmings 1t differs
from anything now in the city, being a
stand and not a wall fountain. All the
syrups and fruits are in sight of the
customer and the dispenser does not
need to turn his back on the customer
while preparing an order.
In the ice chest only marble and plate
glass are used, and they are cooled by
cold storage process that is set up i'm
the basement of the building. 1t is
thirty feet long, and it is OF the latest
design which prevails throughout the
east. On each of the big slabs of marble
that form the front of the counter is a
beautiful bronze plate bearing the X
OBJ. monogram.
The fountain is situated i'm the middle
of the store at the back of the main
stairway. The candy department is di-
rectly in front of it, Here there is a
choice line of candies, both imported
and home products.
AT the opening yesterday both de-
partments were crowded, and In thu
evening there were many people I'm line
trying to get a chance to sample the
goods from the soda fountain. 1t kept
three dispensers busy to wait on them.
Every one who patroniZed thesfOuntain
received a souvenir box of candy.
Extending from the two ends of the
fountain and the heads of the staircase
were long lines of pink roses, which met
in the cen-er and suspended a large
boquet. On the four corners were pieces
of lattice work covered with vines or
pink roses. In each of these roses was
a little electric light.
An orchestra was in attendance dur
ing the evening between the hours of
and 8, 1t will play there every Satur-
day evening at this time.

with the possible exception of lucern,
will be good, it is late, and the dealers
say they have been having hard time

to be suffering from blight occasioned
from the wet weather and
somewhat from too early cutting. Tim

The busiest people in the city during
the past week have been the wholesale
fruit dealers. They have been scarcely
able TO fill orders. This is in spite of
the fact that retailers say that the
week was not as good as the previous
one. An immense business in fruit is
being done with the outside towns, and
this has been steadily increasing. The
cool weather has had a slight effect on
the retail trade, but the month on the
whole has been good. Supplies of fruit
have been plentiful, with a still better
outlook.
