DO YOU WANT TO
SEE EVERYTHING?
GO TO THE ARCADE
If There Is a Novelty In
Town It Is Sure to Be
Found There.
HOT CAKES h..
ARE ON TAP

| Entering the arcade the VlSltOr Is
confronted with a second array of eX-
hibits which are the equal in both in
trest and novelty of those in the ex-
hibit hall. The fact that eatables may
be obtained in this hall will perhaps
make it the more popular Of the two,
altho a rest room in the former hall
will bring it many patrons.
| The general appearance of both the
arcade and exhibit hall is one which
will make fair patrons remember them
long after they have passed along and
inspected the displays. Special atten-
ton has been paid to lighting effects
in all displays, and the result as a
whole is one of brilance and yet an
absence of any glare which might tire
the eyes.
| Hot Cakes at Weisman's.
Perhaps the cold and damp weather
| which greeted fair visitors the first two
days is really appreciated at Howard
Weisman's Bargain Store booth. Hot
pancakes are generally quite accept
| able in cool weather. and with Teco,
the Instantaneous Pancake Flour, the
cakes are made in a jiffy.
| But hot cakes are not the only at
traction. Five hundred and two dolls,
by actual count, and every one made in
the L. S. A, form the principal part
of this display. There are dolls of all
nations. all facial chara cteristiCs and
sizes.
Fairy Bower on Display.

look at his exhibit in the Merchants
Arcade. A veritable bower has been
arranged here, with a fountain play

cut flowers placed In oppOrtune inches
lockwood plants give a suggestion of
| English hedges in front of the booth,
and there are many varieties of plants
| in the background.
Shoes are one of the most important
parts of the apparel Of men and
| women. After you have walked around
! until your feet ache. glance over Ing

| chances are your pedal extremities will
| feel years yonger For the ladies there
are the daintiest of boots, and others
suitable for street wear.
Autumn Decorations Prominent.
Autumn suggests the melancholy,
but all thoughts of sadness are dis
PEELED when E. r. Lays display of fall
fashions is seen. This booth, in which
has been woven a background of brill
liant autumn leaves, is filled to the
|t1im with dress goods which will make
every woman visitor at the fair stand
and gaze. .st
Did you ever stop to think that a gift
Of flowers sent to some one at dis
lance is about the best reminder you
can imagine? 1. o. Kemble thought OF
this when he put in an apparatus which
| suggests this to perfection. 1t consist:
Of telegraph instrument, while q
globe with a map of the world painted
thereon hangs above The intimation i!
that Kemble's flowers go all over the
world. They do, too.
