100 Years Ago: April 15-21

From The Indianapolis Star, Thursday, April 20, 1922: The greatest food exposition ever held in Indianapolis will open this afternoon and continue for nine days at Tomlinson Hall under the auspices of the Retail Grocers Protective Association. Demonstrators will show the method of food preparation and a least one company will demonstrate their food manufacturing process by moving pictures showing the process for preparing food for market. About 90 percent of the exhibits are local products. Every afternoon there will be a baby contest and a popularity contest to decide the most popular demonstrator, grocer, stenographer, and salesman present. Each evening there will be music and the big stage in the hall has been set aside for dancing. Baking and cooking exhibits have been planned and with free samples given out visitors are not likely to leave the hall hungry.
