TO CITY FOLKS
Record Breaking Crowd of
1900 Views Exhibits
Tuesday.

"While this show undoubtedly
benefits all Hoosierdom, it is pri-
marily an Indianapolis show. There
fore, Wednesday has been dedicated
to the people of indianapolis, to
provide them a guide to the owner
ship of better homes, declared j. f.
Cantwell, director of the Realtors
Home Show at the Manufacturers
Building at the State Playground.
Because an even greater number
are expected today than the record
breaking throng of more than 1000

day, the show was opened an hour
earlier, at 10, this morning. 1t will
close at 1920 p. m.
Cantwell, on behalf of the board
added a special request urging those
who can attend during the morning
and afternoon to relieve the pres
sure of the evening crowds.
Time Savers Draw Interest
Tuesdays record breaking crowd
displayed an unusual interest in the
hundreds of time and space-Saving
devices exhibited. Hundred thronged
the booth where a novel wash
ing appliance was being demon
strated, and model rooms, base
ments, kitchens and baths came in
for a large share of the attention
Special interest is being paid this
year to folding beds, folding furni-
ture and other space savers hitherto
associated only with apartment
houses.
The thirsty throng was appreci-
alive of the courtesy of the Stand
ard Sanitary Manufacturing Com
pany, the Polar Ice and Fuel Com
pany and the Indianapolis Water
Company, who prvided ice water in
drinking fountains in the building.
The overcoated one were grateful
to the Frigidaire people, who placed
number of refrigerating units in
front of their striking exhibit In
tereSt was also manifested in de-
vices for undermining suburban and
country homes.
The exhibit of paintings, statuary,
antique furnishings and glassware
shown by courtesy of the John Her
ron Art Institute drew many eyes
during the day. Children especially
found the exhibit of the National
Playground and Recreational Asso-
citation attractive.

exhibits of handicraft work as
