“Gold Wedge Brand”
FIBERED CODFISH.
A RETROSPECT.
Mechanics’ Food Fair, Oct. 1894.
At the World’s Food Fair at Mechanics’ Building,
Where all was fresh with paint and gilding,
I wended my way booth to booth,
Tasting of samples from each forsooth—
Nor thinking of all the ills ’twould bring
To those who were doing this self same thing.
Many and Good were the samples we tried
Of food that was baked and food that was fried,
