Facsimile of the United States Struct ure in a Gaffney Window. In one of W. J. Wilkins & Co.’s show windows is presented a most novel and attractive display, a facsimile of the United States building at the World’s Fair at St. Louis, 1904. The material used is Royal Cuticle Soap, and 15,000 cakes of soap are included in its con struction. The view of this building given by this artistic display is the Iron’ elevation, showing the mammoth arch of triumph with its ornamental columns, and above all this is a repre sentation of the Goddess of Liberty on a chariot of progress. The vast hall, flanked with smaller halls, running through the entire cen ter of (he building and reaching to the dome which is crowned with an Amer ican eagle with outstretched pinions, is shown with wonderful eaxetness, as are all the various intricacies of ar chitecture and adornment which dis tinguished this beautiful structure, even to the waving flags and real grassy lawns. The interior arrange ment of reception and reading rooms, office, bureaus, etc., are well preserved in this display, and in a manner which reflects great credit to W. J. Wilkins & Co. In height it is fully ten feet, and surrounded as it is by artistically draped American flags, forms a most beautiful display. !
