Hammers are pounding in the last
nails and decorators are putting on
the finishing touches for the nome
products show which will open IN the
old Everhart candy factory building
on Roberts street, opposite the Card
ner hotel at 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning. Final preparations for the
big exposition have been rushed TO-
day. BY tonight the show Will nave
reached the chrysalis stage.
Obviously not satisfied to- wait IN"
til tomorrow to visit the mammoth eX-
hibit of home made goods, many ut
of-town visitors called at h eXposl-
tion hall this morning and strolled
about the booths, admiring the prod
ucts fast being fashioned into attrac-
tive displays, and occasionally getting
in the way of some bustling exhibitor
or workman who invariably smiled his
''get out of the way" and said, We'll
be glad to see you the rest OF the week,
but just now we must keep a gofn,
while the COINS good" The visitor
always seemed to enter into the busy
spirit of the show and made haste TO
get into a peaceful corner or, more
often, to bump into another exhibitor
or show employe with arms laden
with exhibition stuff. Then there were
more smiles, more apologies, more ac-
ceptances and stronger feeling that
Fargo is certainly a ~"dinger."
Persons will visit the home prod
ucts show with an idea that North
Dakota can possibly turn out a sack
of flour and a piece of harness. They
will go home convinced that anything
makeable can be manufactured in this
state, and wondering whether there
is anything under the sun that it not
Fargo built. There will be things IN
this exposition that will make the Wis
itor turn about and look and come
back again the next day for fear he
missed something.
In the various attractiveIy arranged
booths-more than sixty, by the way,
and covering the floor space on two
floors of a large structure-win be
found manufactured articles of all de-
scriptions. Things for the head of the
family, things for the Riddles and
things for a whole town will be shown
to advantage. There will be food
stuffs for humans and food stuffs for
bossy cows, manufactured articles for
the farm, the business Institution and
the home. Also some fine exhibits of
excellent work being done in educa-
tionaI institutions of the city and state.
Aside from the decorations in the
booths, the souvenirs to be handed out
by the thousands, the chatter of agree
able demonstrators and the music,
there will be girls-Fargo girls-just
to make the show the more interest
ing. No home products show was
yer complete without girls, anyway. .
These dainty young misses will em-
bellish every booth in the exposition.
To them the visitor will have to make
his advances if he wants to take home
a pocketful of souvenirs to the kids.
In their pretty frocks, designed espe-
cially for the home products show,
they will beam a welcome all along
the line from the front door to the
roof. The products show girl is to be
featured. She will make a killing
without question.
The show starts tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock sharp. No admission
will be charged. 1t will continue
throughout the week.
