jamestown Exposition, there was no
fayoritism when 1t came TO awarding
premiums, and the people receiving
medals. diplomas and awards may well
be proud of them, for they are indeed
evidences of merit. It has been said
that the Richmond exhibits at James,
town were not as numerous as they
might have been. That is probably true,
and 1t is also true, as has been said,
that those which were made were up
to-date and in every way worthy of
Richmond.
Among these worthy exhibits It is
likely that none attracted more at
tcntion, and deserved more attention.

bought their space and made their own
show WITHOUT State or municipal help.
The fact is that this company made
two displays that were separate and
distinct, and on each of them they
obtained gold medals, because there

Won Against Strong Opposition. :.
The gold medal which the Waller
stein Company obtained on their en-
hibit of evaporated and sun-dried
fruits was won against decided oppo-
sition from California, Kentucky and
Florida exhibitors and as matter OF
fact the Judges We're rather predis-
posed toward the other exhibits, lest
they might be accused OF favorfng Vir-
elnis. But they We're there TO con-
slider merit, and in all honesty they
were compelled to award the highest
badge - the Wallerstein Produce
Company, of this city.
Tile exhibit, which had been arranged
by Mr.. Joseph Wallerstein. was in
every respect credltable. but 1t was no
more than can be seen any day in the
week at the big warerooms and fac
tory of the Wallerstein Produce Com
pany. Nos. 1921 South Thirteenth
Street, in this city.
A Side Show.
The display of woods shown at
jamestown by the Wallerstcin Com
pany gave evidence Of what Virginia
is doing in the matter of sheep-rais-
ing and wool production. The Waller
stems. who handle wool from every
section OF the State. had their exhibit
50 arranged that 1t gave the visitor
n complete idea of the different varie-
ties of wool that the Old Dominion can
produce and does produce. This eX-
hibit was intensely interesting, and
attracted the attention of wool-grow-
ers from the West who We're sur
prised to know that Virginia is right
of them in the matter OF
and In marketing wool.
However. the wool show was merely a
side issue.
Fruits In Their Better State.

Wallerstein Produce Company was that
