EXHIBIT HALL Is
SCENE OF GREAT
VARIETY AT FAIR
Merchants Displays Rival
Those of Previous
Years.
MANY NEW
FEATURES FOUND


Exhibit hall at the fair this year is
bound to come in trimming over with
good humor
Entering the merchants hall. which
is attractively lighted with indirect
illumination, the Gregory Coal, Coke &
Lime Company's booth on the left first
attracts attention. Thoughts of keep
ing warm during the coming winter
are Immediately put at rest, when the
fifteen or twenty different brands of
fuel on display are noted. AttraCtively
arranged in boxes, one can pick out
numerous varieties of coal at leisure.
Lennox Furnaces on Display
What could be more appropriate fol-
lowing a coal exhibit than one of fur
naces? The LennoX Furnace Com
pany's show booth, which follows fur
Their down the line, takes care of the
vital question of how to get the most
out of coal. Seven types of LcnnoN
furnaces, all arranged according to
sizes, are seen here in what might well
be described as the pink of condi-
ton"
Amusement during the long winter
evenings is we'll taken care of by the
players in the Tuffree Music House
display. Charmingly arranged as the
booth is, with ferns and plants. one can
sit and hear the latest ragtime or class
ical hits played on player piano. or
inspect the regulation pianos which
will be demonstrated during the after
noon every day. The Tuffree pianos
stand for quality, combined with rea-
sonable prices.
Sec the Ansons in Uniform.
Baseball fans are expected to crowd
around the display of the Huber
studio in the merchants hall in great
numbers this year. and the public in
general will probably he attracted to
this booth as much as any one booth
in the hail. What with a pennant win
ming team made up of men who have
been playing their best all year, who
would not be intensely interested in Il
huge, almost life size portrait of the
"Ansons" hung in the place of honor
in this display?
Milady's head is giving her consd
cradle worry just at present, as fall
hats are considered 1.-The thing" during
these September days. The Phipps,
Gage and "Rawak" pattern hats, rec
ognized leaders in style and shape, are
at the IL. Willard, Son & Co. booth.
The advantage of being able to
see how ones winter furs and win
ter hat will look together is offered at
this exhibit, for there are plenty of
both to inspect. The Willard booth at
the fair is distinctive ~, .,> -. :,
Full Length Mirrors Are Here.
What hO,ISaIyjfe has NOT Yea rpad for
a full length mirror, such as her dress
maker allows her to use and enjoy
when she is having a new gown made?
Did you ever stop to think that such
full length mirror may be installed in
your home at moderate cost? Mirrors
are now being placed in closet doors,
so that when dressing, women have the
use Of both closet and mirror The
Buchwald Lumber Company has on
display mirrors set in doors. Cabinets,
panels doors, and lumber work of all
kinds, also form an important part of
this exhibit which makes striking
appearance.
Luxury and comfort are not often
associated together, especially in the
home, but after seeing the four large
displays of the D. c. Wilbur store at
the fair this year, the homeseeker will
be forced to admit that the more COM
Portable his home is, the more luxury
VIII enter into it.
Slumber plays an important part in
this exhibit. How is the mattress upon
which you sleep built? Wilbur's dis
play will show you in every detail. The
impulse to try the comfortable and de-
lightful looking mattress on display
there is strong, as one sees how much
care has been taken in making this es-
sential to pleasant dreams. In the next
booth the bed room itself is shown, and
one feels sure that at least eight hours
of the twenty four should be spent in
sleep in such a chamber as this.
Everist Has Compact Display.
A neat and compact exhibit near this
last one is that Of the Everst Wall
Paper Company, pioneer decorators
and varnishers. Wall paper styles for
every variety of room are on display
here, while the most up-to date meth
DDS of vanishing and painting are
demonstrated. Altogether the Ever
list display is one worthy of special at
tentiOn.
One gigantic Cameo portrait Is what
the Let's Fletcher branch of the West
em Grocer Company's display at the
fair resembles. The background of the
booth is in white, and the Cameo dis
play stands out with startling clear
ness. Cameo goods of all kinds are
featured Cameo oats in process
Of making, rolling, cutting and
packing. that is what the spectator
sees.
Live by Electricity and Gas.
With gas and electricity in your
home you hardly need anything else,
Judging by the display Of the McCarten
Plumbing and Electrical shop. Here
are conveniences, necessities and de-
vices of almost magical effectiveness,
run by gas or electricity. Irons, per-
colators, lamps, hot water heaters, i'm
proved shower baths. all go to make
up a thoroughly modern and up-to-
date showing. .... ~,
why should a motorst have trouble?
The Central Tire Company's booth Is a
striking answer to this question. A
motorist will never have trouble or
self with only a part of the complete
line of accessories shown by this COM
pany.
There is no danger of anything 60
ing amiss with the Marshall Oil Com
pany's exhibit at the fair. The wheels
are creased with product expressly
manufactured for that purpose. Ma
chinery is taken care of with products
