 ments in which its steel hot water

 of the leading prizes of the show was

 business exhibit by the uncovering of 

 large electric signs. The beds of hya- 

 cinths and tulips were surrounded by 

 a fence covered by rambler roses and 

 the exhibit is one of the best in the 

 whole show. It was the handiwork of 

 Philip Freud.

 etc. 



A. L. Bandall Co., Chicago. — The in- 

 teresting feature of this line of bas- 

 kets, cut flower receptacles and decor- 

 ators' materials was that each one of 

 the large number of styles shown was 

 designed and manufactured in the ex- 

 hibitor's own factory, established since
