NATHAN TO HAVE THREE
BOOTHS AT The FAIR
Free Lunch To Be Served Daily From

ducted

The Nathan Furniture store this city

which is nationally as well as local

firm has taken three booths at the
Cambridge Fair One will be fitted
up as a rest room; in it will be COM
Portable chaiGs, electric fans, stands,
etc. This is for the benefit of the
public, when ladies are tired and
feeling like sitting down for a few
minutes, there will be the room cool
and comfortable. Another will have
a line of musical Instruments, kit
chen cabinets, and other well known
lines carried by the firm.
But that is not the stunt. the real
stunt will be the serving of free
lunch to those who happen around
about the time that the fireless cook
er is opened each day. Roasts as
large as the cooker will take, real
nice regular country ham, something
different each of the four days, all
of which will be served without any
charge.
Then, too, practically everything
exhibited will be sold: you just write
what you bid for certain article,
leave it with one Of the clerks and at
the end of each day one or more ar
tcIes will be sold to the person who
has made the best written offer.
