CUPID Is BUSY
Miss Helen Toovey of Sunnyside ave
nue.. Mill Valley. is the latest to be
stricken by cupid's dart. William
Kruse, in charge of the exhibit of the
Little Giant suction company, will be
the bridegroom. Miss Toovey is in
charge of the exhibit of the American
biscuit company at the Home Industry
exposition. She dispensed sweets with
smile as engaging as her wares were
palatable. Kruse fell a victim.
While the world celebrated yesterday
in the streets of San Francisco, while
the bands blared and the horses pranced
and the crowds strained their threats in
cheering, the two plighted their troth
in the seclusion of a deserted booth in
the rear of the exhibit at Hale Bros
store. Some prying eyes saw the tete

Toovey blushingly acknowledged that
ii was all fixed but the date.
It is now only two days since Miss
Jennie lie Grant capitulated to Jack
Riebeling, who had begun his siege of
her heart the day the exhibit opened.
Riebeling is an employe of the South
ern Pacific. There are still 81 fair
girls in charge of the various booths
at the exhibit and the possibilities of
enga gements are unlimited.

Francisco been made to realize so thor

state produced all that was necessary
to clothe, feed and entertain an en-
pire.
The manner in which the people of
the city have answered this call for
commercial loyalty has astonished the
hackers of the Home Industry league.
as well as the exhibitors. Figured in
dollars and cents the benefit has been
so great that many are willing that
the exhibit should be a. perpetual one,
and plans are even now being made
for. the construction of a home industry
hall at which all the year round will
be displayed the manifold products of
this state.
AS an example of the sensationally
great value of the exhibit, there have
been submitted to the hackers of the
Home Industry league reports of the
following sales:
Through its booth at the Home indus
try exhibit one firm has placed orders
for $4,000 worth of condensed cream.
AS a result of the exhibit wholesalers
have inaugurated movement to sell
no condensed milk in the state except
that made within the state boundaries.
The manager of the company backs up
his claim for California patrona ge by
proving to his patrons that every ar
tfcIe of clothing worn by himself or
his family is California product.
