Orsop Hewlett Talks.
The general sentiment among the
manufacturers is expressed in the |
words of Orson Hewlett, who has been
giving all his time, not only to his own
booth but to the general success of the
entire show. He says:
'There are several reasons for the
great success of the show. The priu.
cipal ones are the harmony that has
existed between the different orgariza- |

success. The Retail Merchants asso,
clatlon, the Manufacturers and the |
Home Industry organizations have all
worked as one to make a good success
of the food show, All the exhibits
have been clean, hcalthful and the
products of the very highest quality.
The people have appreciated this and
have given their support by coming
out III large numbers TO view the dit
ferent exhibits.
Another reason for the great sue
cess is the excellent spirit which has
been shown among those who have
made exhibits. There has been Il good.

any kind has been manifested during
the food show. All those who have ta
ken part have appreciated the good
work of tho retail merchants to help
