Past experience has taught all MS
tons the value of frequent concen-
trated exhibits of their various resources
fits and industries. The immense bene-
derived from such exhibits through
the interchange of valued experience
and the combination of results, has en-
couraged the holding of frequent inter-
national exhibitions. After much de-
liberation and counsel it has been de-
cided that a general exhibit of the
worlds resources and Industries at
New Orleans, during the coming winter
and spring, would result in great good
to all sections. Consequently through

ment of the. United States, and the
pledged cooperation of other nations,
