WHAT CAN oUR STATE SEND!
! Although we carnot compete with some old
| err states IN our varied manufactures and we'll
developed industries, the growth Of many
wears, we can exhibit much showing our ma
tura resources, and the results of cur twenty
five years development as separate common
wealth. First and chiefly, our splendid agri
cultural resources must be set forth. We can
| send selected specimens Of our wheat and
osher cereals Of our unsurpassed vegetables;
of our luxuriant plants and grasses, native and
| cultivated, OF our forest WOOQS ana lQmDer
our minerals, building stones, soil,
| ETC., and of such manufactures as art
carried on in our State, together with works Of
art, natural curiosities, and any other matters
| of value or interest, that CONS within the scoops
of the classification; and there are doubles:
many other classes of objects and material, toe
numerous to specify here, but which will sug
gest themselves to the ingenuity OF our cltl
zens, which will aid in making our Mlnnesot;
Department one of value and Interest. Appll
cation for space may be made to the Secretary
of the Board, J. F. Williams, ST. Paul, AS easil
as possible, by whom they will be forwarded t
the Director General. They should state clear
ly the Article to be exhibited, size IN feet q
inches, etc, and what kind of space is wished
floor, counter, or wall, or outdoor, uncovered
space.
The means provided this board for carryin
on its work are so limited, barely sufficient to
its incidental expenses, that for the presel
none can be diverted for sp, cial purposes w
must there for rely on the libera,lty and publ
spirit Of exhibitors themselves, to collect an
forward articles to Us designed tor exhibition
Finally, We appeal to the people OF Mime
sofa to aid in the work from motives OF Stat
pride and public welfare, If for no other Incen
tive, bv becoming exhibitors so far as they car
snd also i'll subscribing for shares OF the stock
Let it rot be said in future that our State, wit
her intelligent, industrious and patriotic pee
pie, sent little or nothing of value to this col
lection of the worlds industry, or gave little
nothing to aid its finances
Applications tor space must be made at ono
The managers at Philadelphia are anxious
know just how much space will be needed
