marks brought forth some applause
For a new fair the exhibits at the
Ladysmith fair are simply wonder
| full and would do credit to many old
er fairs. In nearly every line the
exhibits are more complete than had
been hoped for this year.
Among the individual displays
special mention should be made of
the fine display made by Louis Rad
iker, of the town of Lawrence. Mr..
Radiker's display is a fair in itself.
This was recognized by the fair Of
ficials by giving him special booth
with the town displays.
as numerous as could be desired,
they are still very fine. Displays by
the towns of Grant, Flambeau and
Willard are certainly an inspiration
even to one who is accustomed to
seeing the fine crops raised in this
section of the Badger state. The
town of Weirgor, Sawyer county, al
so is making a very fine display, and
incidentally demonstrating that their
heart is in the right place Above
the Willard exhibit is a sign, 1.-THE
Town of Willard is on the Map,
Watch it Grow!'
The educational exhibit is very
good and occupies a booth near the
town displays, in the rear of the
grand stand.
The poultry exhibit occupies a tent
by itself and this fine display of
blooded fowls is crowded with visit
ors all the time.
In the main exhibit tent, besides
the splendid displays of vegetables,
grains, grasses, fruits, ETC., there is
wonderful exhibit of textiles, art
work of every description, hand
paintings etc. In fact, the exhibit in
the fine art department was pro-
nounced by several who attended the
Wisconsin state fair as to be fully
equal to the exhibits in that line at
that big exposition.
Many of the business houses of
his city are making fine displays |
Among those making exhibits are the
following: Thompson Mercantile Co.,
4'ederson's furniture store, Peoples
Cash Grocery Home Brand Goods,
f. e. Martin Co.-Patrick mack
inaws, o. B. Ellingboe, H. Oldendorf
clothing, Christ Thompsen-har-
ness, Cash Department Store.
On the grounds there are numer
Gus exhibits of farm machinery, etc. |
Nate Hand has a silo filler on the
ground and when the machine isn't
grinding silage for some of the stock
on the ground, lumber is fed into
it to demonstrate the hard usuage it |
can stand. The Ladysmith> Implement
Co. also has fine display there.
Frank Zachek is displaying the silo
he is selling and the Flambeau Riv-
er Lumber Co. has erected a full !
sized silo of their own manufacture
