A complete detailed description
of the many exhibits by merchants
and manufacturers at the Elks
Fair follows:
:r. o'XEiii & co.
Occupying the largest pavilion
upon the grounds and most cen
trally located is the mammoth dis
play of M. O'Neil & Co. The
reputation of this firm is far-spreading,
especia'ly because of its re
markable stock and efficient corps,
of decorators. The exhibit is di
vided into five departments, giving
it the appeal ance of a miniature

ity. The auto-organ-piano is the
curio of the collection. Its power
is marvellous. Mandolins, violins,
banjos, and guitars are tastily hung
upon the walls.
.J. KUTIIliKFOKI.
The display of Dangler Ranges
and Star Deflectors made by J.
Rutherford is one of the features
of the grounds. The advent of
natural gas to Akron has made the
Dangler Range a prime favorite
and a necessity in the masses of
the homes. It is therefore an in
teresting exhibit for the ladies.
More interesting, however, is the
Star Deflector. It is an apparatus
The class of goods on exhibit leaves
a mental impression upon the minds
of all its seers, which will no doubt
in the future be very beneficial to
them.

booth into a miniature shoe store

gant new block being erected by
this firm. The terra cotta front is

The line of men's, women's and
children's shoes exhibited is in exact
keeping with the iwlicy of this con-!
cern the best on the market.
The display of gentlemen's Bannis-
perous home is its supply of china.
Hence everyone takes a natural
interest in auv exhibit which covers
this field. The Akron China Co.
has placed before the people a dis
play of dinner and tea tet never
belore excelled 111 the cit. It is
theii own paiticulai make, and
bearing their name is the pride of
the manufacturers. The various
pieces are very uniformly dis
tributed over the allotted space,
giving vast opportunity for neat
igtoupiug and festooning. The
'absolute harmony of the goods iaj
the most striking feature. It is
a simplicity of unit display which in 1
its particular characteristic lieanty '
cannot fail but catch the eye. The
booth is decorated in Elks colors
and located as it is near the main
entrance, has become very popular.
.. T. FLOWKK.
J T Flower has on display the
finest line of mantels ever seen in
this city. Handsomely carved
precious woods are blended with
tiling as only the decorator's mind
can arrange them. The floor of
the booth is covered with various
designs of tiling arranged in one
beautiful mosaic. Gas logs add to
the general perfection of beauty
displayed by the mantels Incan-

Brothers have overcome thw imper
fection by cleverly arranging their
goods upon the sides of their booth,
giving the ee full play. So the
passers by notice more easily the
new and novel patterns, the fine
ness of the English texture and
the great variety of goods. A line
of made-up goods and fancy vests
attracts much attention. The
vests in several cases are of an
Elk pattern, thus giving particu
lar tone and interest. Brecken

having an exhibition at the Fair.
Foremost in enterprise as well as in
business, seems to be their motto.
.T. KOCH & CO.
J Koch. & Co , the pioneer cloth
iers of this city, have in a very
novel manner reminded their friends
that fifty-one years of ever-increasing
success have followed them.
The background of their exhibit
consists of exact representations of
I the original Koch & Mayer store in
mous destruction of Cervera's fleet
j at Santiago. The minutest details
are carefully represented, the rug
ged shore, the narrow channel to
the harbor, the two fleets in action
j and the Admirante Oquendo sink
ing. The entire picture is made
out of the various articles found in
a dry goods stoie. It is a wonder
ful accomplishment. The vessels
are kept in motion by a mechanical
device, adding much to the vivid
ness of the reproduction. The ex
actness of color arrangement is also
extremely noticeable. It is a su
perb display which should take the
patriotic public by storm.
IKOI KICII.
Everybody in Akron knows or
knows of the genial Prof. Rich.
He is the man who has reduced
horse-shoeing to a science and is
to-day unsurpassed in his original
art. His exhibit at the Fair is a
mass of glittering shoes tastily ar
ranged and showing the true growth
of this business. The Professor,
himself, is continually at home,
always eager to answer any ques
tion which may advance his cause.

Mr. Wildes' display of shoes oc
cupying a coiner booth is artistic

back-ground of pink silk neatly
festooned.
It is a display of men's shoes and
entirely of the " Walk Over " make
exclusively handled by Mr. Wildes
in this city. There are all styles
and shapes from the ordinan to the
most nobby. The fact that the dis
play is of only one make and at the

remarked upon. The most fastid-

which would please everyone.
There are on display goods which
icannot be excelled in am store in
Akron; in fact, it seems like a

The National American Cycle Co
has on exhibition the fanioui Path

an object of interest to the general
public to know just how a bicycle
is put together. Everybody rides :

mechanism of his '-teed. This com

Music i ahvavs a feature of
'street fairs. It is a happy method
of display, more than doubly appre
ciated, which O. M. Ott & Bros.
have employed. The finest Kranich

on exhibit, neath arranged, w ith a
background of sheet music. Local
artists of ability are ever playing
to the enjoyment of the passing
throng. Centrally located, its man
agers affable and agreeable, it is
one of the most popular booths on
the grounds. An exhibit of pianos
is made exclusively by these people.
