heavy cutters is made by the Arm
strong Manufacturing company on the
south aisle and shows with which ar
tistic effect heavy hardware can be
arranged amidst a profusion of
much lighter merchandise The Of
fering consists of a varied assortm lent
% pipe-cuttfng and threading ma
| chinery, backed by all sizes of taps
| and dies and minor products upon the
| walls, while an array of vises,
| wrenches, ETC., are laid out in design
upon the counter.
Close by is an entire room finished
in the latest wa1l-cloring effects of
beaver board, which attracts the eye
in the distance. The space last night
was surrounded by an interested
crowd who were learning for the first
time how old attics, and new houses
could be economically constructed by
the use of this product. Representing
the A. W. Burritt Company at the ex-
position was B. M. Barnes, whose
| personality alone attracts.
One of the prettiest attractions on
the main aisle is that of the Con-
| solidated Piano Company where femi-
nine attra ction was rampant and
display of pianos, automatic and
manual, kept music uppermost in the
mind.
The Parrot Varnish Company also
displayed some Of the highest grade
coating which could be used either
outside or inside.
The opera ton of the Telephone
booths and switchboard, illustrating
the operation of a central station is
hibits which space renders it impos-
sib1e to describe in detail catch the
eye and will cause the return of al
most every visitor on some other
night Of the week.
The films which had been taken OF
I~{d
Film Company were interesting to
degree, depicting many familiar
scenes upon the streets, and weaving
a thread of human interest through
out Most of the public buildings are
clearly shown and hundreds of faces
| whom all will know are seen among
the pedestrians upon the city's streets.
Besides in the various stores and fac
! tories where special exposures were
made there is an interesting display
of persons and scenes which cannot
fail to interest every Individual re-
siding in Bridgeport Slight defects
in operation which will p-obab1y be
overcome today slightly marred their
projection last night.
So great was the press at the gate
last night and SO densely crowded
the mass of humanity within that all
sale of tickets had to be discontinued
at nine o'clock last night Even the
refreshment room in the basement at
the rear was crowded to OVERLOOKING
with persons who vain1y sought to
witness the pictures from the back of
the screen. .-z.-
