Several booths were set UP and
running in the Coliseum yesterday
that had not been completed the first
day of the fair. One is that of Fred
Vendetta of Providence, r. l., who
specializes in rings. Mr.. Vendetta
has over 5000 rings of different kinds,
besides large supply of pendants,
bracelets, vanity cases and chains.
A large number Of people visited this
booth yesterday and had rings made
for them while waiting.
Mrs. Evelyn l.. Simpson of this
city. who is the inventor Of the pie
marker and trimmer, has a fine lit
tie stall in the building. Many ladies'
were attracted by the quick work of
the demonstration in showing how
she prepares the pie crust for the
oven.
The Orange Blossom Perfume
booth has not only made itself MOTTO
able by the clever decorating scheme,
but by the sweet odor that pene-
trates the atmosphere about this vi
cinitE of the hall. MA. Pillings, who
|, is in charge, stated that he was very
pleased with the sales he had made
and found Waterville people ex-
tremely fond of this luxury. And
strange to say his customers are not
all ladies either.
The K. J. Booth
People coming to the fair seem
much pleased to find their copy of
the kennebec Journal right on hand.
The K. J. booth certainly has proved
itself an essential to fair exhibitors
and patrons. Several thousand sof
papers were given away yesterday
and many expressions of gratitude
were heard from all sides because of
this free news service. Mr.. Palmer
of Augusta, who is in charge. had a
busy time showing people the new
fancy colored rubber aprons which
the company presents to every new
subscriber. Once a housewife sees
them she cannot resist the tempta-
ton of subscribing.
"Pomps Lunch IS represented on
the grounds, and the genial pro-
prietor, Alvah Pomerleau, assisted
by Dean Simpson, are greeting all
their friends at their booth. where
one can obtain cold drinks of all
kinds. hot dogs and other good things
to eat.
