Historic Hood River

Notes

Here’s another fine interior view of the Paris Fair, this time the women’s department circa 1906.  To the left there appears to be a nice selection of cloth for local seamstresses to make clothing.  The glass cabinet to the right is full of hat pins.  A sign indicates the millinery is now on the second floor, but I guess the hatpins didn’t follow.  Some sort of creme is 10 cents as is talc, while assorted toilet articles are 5 cents.

The Paris Fair seems to be lit with electric light bulbs.  Electricity had only come to town a little more than a year before this image was taken.
