The Coliseum
The tradition of a rainy Water
VILE Fair was broken on Tuesday at
least AS the grounds became dot
ted with happy visitors the spirits
of the vendors rose proportionately.
Hot dogs sizzled, the merry-go-
round went round and round and
down on the race track it was busy
from early in the morning. What
ever the attractions each one held
its particular followers interested,
yet the shady Coliseum with its va
ried exhibits proved irresistible to
another during the day. The pains
taking displays suggest that previ-
GUS years have proved them worth
while.
Entering the Coliseum through the
main door one will see first on the
left the booth Of Amy Gould's Home
made Candies. Mrs. Gould makes
all these candies herself of cream,
butter and honey. On the right are
the cool-green, comfortable-looki
chairs and divans of the United FL
bre Furniture Co. This furniture is
Maine-made product, being made
in Portland of Kraft Paper, likewise
made in the state. Straight ahead
in the central row are the Glenwood
ranges, heaters and kitchen cabinets
sponsored by the Anterior Furniture
Co.
Turning to the right of the CEN
trail entrance, the next booth on the
left Is that of the Central Maine
Power Co.. featuring Hoover cleo
trio vacuum cleaners, washing ma
chimes, fans and a small electric
ironing machine which is the first
of this type to be displayed at the
fair. No good fair would force its
patrons to walk more than few
yards without offering something to
eat, and so one has maple-nut fudge
from Vermont on the right and Sun
kist orange and lemonade Of the
Pilling Sales Co., on the left.
Nearby the Standard Oil Co., of
New York has arranged types of
oil heaters, automobile lubricants
and a large assortment of candles,
and specialties in oils and greases.
For the fourth year Fred Venditto
offers choice of 10000 rings be-
sides other ornaments, including in
destructible pearls (which one may
