Special Merits of Articles Entered in Book K, 



AND EXHIBITED AT THE 



INDIANA STATE FAIR FOR 1884, 



On Which no Prenniums were Offered. 



W. B. Burford, Indianapolis, Ind., made a large exhibition in general lithography^ 

 Bhowing many of the various styles of work to which this art is specially applica- 

 ble. There seems to be no limit to the possibilities of lithography as a means of 

 producing at a minimum of cost, pictures and other works of art, of the very high- 

 est degree of merit. The work produced by Mr. Burford is second to none in 

 quality, and well deserves the highest commendation. 



Bryant's Business College, Indianapolis, Ind„ made a large and varied exhibition- 

 of penmanship, consisting of pen pictures, general penmanship, etc. Specimens of 

 rapid writing by a student, Mr. E. J. Heeb, were very fine, and a collection of pen- 

 manship by Messrs. Bryant, Hamilton and Heeb, was of very great excellence, 

 •howing to what degree of perfection it is possible to attain by system and practice^ 



G. W. HUl & Co., Indianapolis, Ind., made an exhibition of emblems, showing^ 

 much skill and taste. This firm is largely engaged in making emblems, regalia, 

 etc., for all the various societies having use for such things. It is an old and well 

 established firm, and their work must commend them to all interested in the use of 

 such goods. 



Drawings from Public Schools. A large exhibition of drawings made by the pu- 

 pils of the Indianapolis Public Schools, was very fine, and was an attractive feature 

 of the fair. Much of this work, while done by amateurs, showed the skill and 

 taste of experts. The latent talent thus brought out in school children, will, ia 

 the end, result in producing artists of the highest order.
