BOOTHS PROVE EYE-OPEN.
Frs TO MANY CITIZENS
OF WAUSAU

At the fair grounds during the past
week the business concerns and
manufacturers presented to the pub
lie inclusive displays of their products
arranged in booths. Perhaps no ex-
hibition ever arranged in Wausau has
made possible the complete and we'll
arranged displays of the peace jubi-
lee. The large building used by the
agricultural association each year wa,
filled with booths and in the centes
was huge array of palms and fernsr
forming an attractive center piece.
Tented Pavilion
A large tent was placed just west
of this building in which many of the
manufacturers and business men
placed their exhibits. In practically
every booth an assistant explained to
interested persons the products on
display. Features not often pointed
out were especially emphasized. in
creasing tenfold the interest mani
tested. Tie war relics collected by
the Wausau Chamber of Commerce
were especially exhibited. The col
lection was especially interesting and
contained war implements, guns and
different types OF dress used by the
allied and German armies. Hundreds
of persons we're particularly absorbed
with this display. The association
has for several months been urgently
requesting men who return from
France TO leave something to add TO
the collection, its return after per-
iod being assured to the owner.
