MADE IN PENSACOLA EXHIBIT
Out in the poultry department the
"Made in Pensacola" exhibits were
shown off to good advantage, though
it was a pity that these splendid ex-
hihits did not have a building all to
themselves. They were among the
very best shown at the Fair and
they speak volumes for tn enterprise
of the local business people.
1t is in the poultry building that
the United States postoffice depart
ment has one of the most interesting
and instructive exhibits shown in any
department of the Fair. There is
display of almost every size and
shape of package with the weight
plainly marked on it and the amount
necessary to carry it through the
parcels post system to any point
within stated distances. There are
piles of letters and other mail show
ing how the government dispatches
the big mails and there are displays
of information cards which make
very interesting and instructive read
ing for the general public. Here
stamps are sold and mail can be left
for dispatch to the local postohice.
The exhibit is a model of neatness
and splendid arrangement and should
have been given a larger and better
space. The lack of sufficient buildings
at the Fair grounds has augered badly
for several most deserving displays
this year.
Next to the government exhibit may
be seen the well-arranged exhibit of
the Builders Manufacturing Co.
This firm manufacture every kind of
material used inside or outside of a
residence in constructive work. Their
display shows doors, blinds, mantels,
cedar chests, brackets, steps, transoms
windows, mouldings, etc, The sign
over this exhibit is broad enough in
its language to cover multitude of
articles not mentioned here. 1t says,
eff its made of wood we can make"
That appears to cover the whole cat
alog.
The Pensacola Cooperage Co., have
an excellent display in this depart
ment. There are oil barrels, turpen-
tine barrels, syrup barrels, cider bar
rels, lard barrels and barrels and bar
rels on display. They are so ar
ranged as to be very attractive and
the exhibit covers so much spece
that it is impossible to go into the
poultry department and not get view
of it.
The Pensacola Mattress Co., have
an exhibit which looks both necessary
and restful. 1t makes one wish to
recline on the beautiful mattresses
here displayed and rest from the
weary tramp, tramp, tramps about
the Fair grounds. These products
are well worth considering by the
purchasing public when any article
in this line is needed.
| The Pensacola Excelsior Co., have
good display of their. goods. There
are several bales of new and celan
excelsior on exhibition and there are
several different grades of this mater
ial shown. There is display of the
spruce pine and birch wood from
which the excelsior is made. This
wood is cut Az feet long and is first
split into pieces z inches in diameter.
These pieces of heavy wood go into
the excelsior machine and come out
in manufactured form. Then the ex-
celsior, almost as soft as cotton, is
packed into bales and is ready for
shipment to any point. 1t is under
stood that this firm ship their goods
to all parts of the country, including
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago.
The Gulf States Cooperage Co.,
have an exhibit that commands the
attention of all passers by. The ar
rangement of this display is good and
the advertisement which it has given
to the company and to Pensacola will
no doubt be felt for good in the flu
ture.
The Gulf City Coffee Co., have two
splendid exhibits at the Fair, one in
the poultry department and the other
is in the Woman's department. In
the Woman's department. there is a
specially good display of Ell Delito
coffee and Pansy Flour. Free coffee
of the choicest kind has been served
free of partaking. Hot biscuits made
from Pansy Flour have been served
fresh with the steaming hot coffee
free and this exhibit has proved quite
a drawing feature of the woman's
building.
C. L. Herring, manufacturer of auto
bodies and equipment, has a good
display in the poultry department.
His work shows up to good advantage
and is proving winner for Pensacola
auto owners.
w. e. Splitter, maker of auto
bodies and equipment, is also well
represented by some displays of his
work. His auto tops and bodies
make good showing in every de-
tail.
