The sponsors of the big ar-| mory show, the Connecticut Exposi- tion company, have wor indefati- gably to make the exposition vie with the best that are held yearly in the largest cities of the country. Everything that goes to make the modern home complete, from cellar to roof, will be shown in the attrac- tively arranged booths that will cover the immense floor spact of the ar- mory. In addition to the usual d plays, the Better Homes exposition will be noted for its novelties. Irore-| most, perhaps, is the complete brick | dwelling, fully equipped and furnish- ed, erected on the armory floor by the Eastern Brick Co. of East Berlin, Conn. The idea was original with R. 0. Clark, president of the company, and the feat has never been accom- plished before in this country due to the fact that there are few buildings | of sufficient area to accommodate the | erection of a house within their walls. | The “brick house” is sure to be one| of the novel features of the exposition. | | | LadiesKeep YourSkin Clear, Sweet, Healthy bles, 50 targets at serateh, Julian T, Bishop did the best work, taking the her eyes wide open in/ With Cuticura Soap d Cuticura Talcum tonight at the Fairmont club, New York, in a 12-round bout Sporting Ualénul ABSOLUTELY FREE THE GRAND PRIZE VACUUM CLEANER \ f B, YO Cash’ Casylerms if desired BARRY & BAMFORTH & | PHONE 2504 19 MAIN ST.
