 ES Free Samples
 The old black mammies-a dozen original Aunt Dianahs"-poured cof- fee and served food unceasingly to the housewives, but it remained for the pretty and bobbed haired young ladies to draw the male element-and hold it.
 A score of young men centered around dark auburn-haired demon strator and learned over and over the important art of making some sort of special griddle cake-or it might have been fruit salad!
 Several dozen children tasted the sausage of one exhibitor until the sausage was gone. A half hundred or more exposition connoisseurs gathered large paper sacks full of literature and samples. a-
 Expert Demonstrators
 The exhibits were some of the most novel and nicely arranged that could be assembled the demonstrations were conducted by culinary experts from the leading southern cities. Birmingham products came in for enthusiastci praise at the hands of the public.

 Headed by B. c. Apperson, secretary of the association, the committee in charge, meeting with the association on the second floor of the armory, an- nounced that the show had exceeded in marvellous degree the expectation of the men in charge"

 The exposition will continue until March 1. It will be open from ? until 3 80 in the afternoon and from z until 10 :30Sat night. e
