in brown. From the ceiling are hang

washer, and two electric stoves. The
first stove is an enormous one with
four plates, and two ovens. The lat:

in n corner.

Another booth which attracts con-
siderable attention is that of Guss-

there is a display Of canned fruits
and vegetables; on the other side, a
showing of Sanitarium food products.
Across the end of the room is a spot
less show case, containing several
varieties Of prettily decorated meats.
