The magnitude of the display at the
State Exposition Building has been such as
to preclude the possibility of giving any
thing like comprehensive idea of it in
one issue. For this reason, without fol-
lowing any particular order, the RECORD
UNION has endeavored to mention, from
day to day, such exhibits as time and space
would permit. Continuing this policy, the
present article will refer only 10 some of
the displays made in the main hall, which
have not been spoken of in previous ar
ticles.
Among the most interesting displays in
this portion ofthe building is that made by
the San Francisco Journal of Commerce,
which is in charge of the Secretary of the
company, w. II. Murray. The various
counters, shelving, pyramids and tables of
this exhibit occupy an area of 2. SIC square
feet. The boundaries of this space are
marked by some forty large shields, each
one having printed thereon an item of sta
tistics. Taken together they make up the
following interesting collection
