The FAIR.
What.He Observed at the
State Exhibition.
Michigan's Progress, Energy
and Enterprise Strikingly
Illustrated,

The Michigan State Fair, held at
Detroit from September to 10, was a.
gratifying exhibit of the resources of
our State, and of the energy, enter
prise. and success of it's people This
was the siXtieth State Fair and GER
tainly this notable anniversary was
fittingly observed 1t was up to date
with airship races and wireless mes
sages. The horse snow was the finest
ever seen in the State. Every minute
of the day was filled with interest and
then some more-for the night was
ablaze with the wonderful fireworks.
The merchants and manufacturers and
inventors We'd with each other in
points of display. Modern enter
prise was strikingly illustrated, and
a tour among the exhibits afforded
much pleasure and interest.
On entering the gates my attention
was at once attracted to the perma-
nent exhibition of Greening's Nur-
series, OF Monroe, the largest grow
eTs Of trees in the world. Their ex-
hibit showed many beautiful trees and
elegant shrubbery.
Next | viewed the display of |. E.
llEenfritz Sons Co., of Monroe, the
Oldest, largest and most complete
nursery in the State Beautiful lawn
trees and shxubbery were in their
permanent exhibit
The Michigan Wire Fence Co.. of
Adrian, exhibited several STYLES Of
farm and poultry fencing The lock
used in their fence was highly com.
mented upon by farmers in general
as being very strong and rigid
My attention was attracted by a
number of interested farmers who
were examining the security" Gate.
This is strong, safe and sensible
gate in which every farmer should
be interested who values economy
and safety. The Security" Gate is
always on duty - always closed;
opens both ways; roller bearings;
all metal, cheaper than lumber, avoid
ing constant repair ana tumbe-down
appearance. These gates are made
by Security Gate Company, o. X.
james General Manager, Lapeer, Mich
! found a big crowd around the ex-
hibit of the American Harrow Com
panY. Of. Detroit These people were
showing their new models In manure
spreaders, Detroit Tongueless Disc
Harrows, Cultivators and other tools.
Judging by the interest taken in their
goods. it appears that their plan of
selling direct to the farmer is very
popular. They have their prices
prominently displayed on all their
machines. and they certainly appear
to be selling very low. This company
claim to have made many improve
ments this year, and have reduced
prices for season of 1910.
The Heller-Aller Co., Napoleon
Ohio. had The largest display of their
particular line of goods on the ground.
Their Baker Ball-Bearing Wind En-.
gines and H.-A. Co. Pressure House
Tanks were the, admiration of many
people. For simplicity of construc-
tion. workmanship and durability
they are certainly unexcelled.
7 j was particularly interested in the
Syracuse Chilled P1ow Co.'S exhibit.
1t was one Of the best on the ground.
Their New High Lift Single Sulky
Plow made big hit, Farmers who
have used it say that it is the most
practical and lightest draught sulky
plow that they have ever used.
The Pontiac Nursery Co., the larg-
est growers of ornamental stock in
Michigan. had beautiful display of
landscape work, as well as a fine dis.
play of fruit and ornamental trees.
