()ilr hats are off! Hail to the Cham~
. ber of t‘oiuerce, the workers behind
the movement who so generously and
willingly donated time and energy, and
to every man. woman and child in the
city, who entered into the spirit of the
affair with vim and interest, for mak-
ing possible Norwaik's first civic and
industrial exposition. it is one of the
biggest and greatest things ever at
tempted by Norwalk. And it was put
across in splendid shape.
it means Just this: Norwalk, Conn,
is one or the busiest and liveliest lit-
tle cities in the Old U. S. A. And we
should be mlghtly proud of the fact.

civic, educational, manufacturing, and
commercial circles. as one may at the
big exposition in hich opened last night
in the State Amory, on West avenue,
there isn’t one of us who doesn't feel
like getting out and shooting 'for
Norw‘alk at the top of our voices.
it seems as though some master
workman picked up Norwaik bodily
and made a model thereof, and deposi
_ted it in the Armory. Whatever the
city boasts of, in no matter what line,
you'll ii'.1d it attractively presented at
the exposition. And you'll really be
surprised at the number of things
"Made in Norwalk."
The hall is most prettily decorated,
the color scheme being yellow and
white. The ceiling and walls are cov-
ered with white and yellow cloth, the-
many pretty booths are $11ny and
most originally decorated, trans form-
ing the Armory into a scene of much
beauty; in the evening, with hund-
reds‘ of high-powered lights burning,
the armory presents a brilliant and
very novel spectacle, \

tulatory speech. 'He' praised most

“Know Thyself" to the city, and told
of the advantages to be gained by the
citizens of the town exhibiting what
they are doing to their neighbors. The
popular congressman, at the close or

storm of applause.
