GERMANY And THE WORLDS FAIR.
MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS ORGANIZING


FOR THE EXHIBITION.
II has been apparent for TIM that the in.
tcrest OF Germany in the coming Worlds Fair at
Chicago has greatly increased. This fact is en-
phasiz-d by an article from the pen of the German
Imperial COmmssionc: himself which appeared re-
Gently in the Franlfurer ZeItung.' "The question
nf the representation, of Germany at the exhibition In
Chicago" says that journal, is judged lately from
entirely different point Of view than formerly
the case Although the representatives Of various
branches Of trade Intimately connected with America
were ukewarm regarding the Fair short time ago.
the conviction is gradually becoming general that
the failure OF German merchants to take part in the
contest at Chicago would be followed by disastrous
suits to German trade. Moreover. 1t is now recognized
as holy duty Of the various branches Of German In
dustry to be properly represented at Chicago
These reasons Influenced the gatherings Of mer-
chants held recently In various places and determined
the wordfg OF the resolutions passed by the attend
ants Thus at the meeting Of the representatives Of
the Association of tho Saxon Manufacturers Of
Textile Fabrics held i'll Chemnitz under
Consul OGeimann. it was unanimously decided
10 send collective exhibit to Chicago
The same conclusion reached at the meeting at
zvicsan al-o presided by Consul ofermann and
attended by the Imperial Commissioner and mer
chants from Mylsn. Falkenstein. Planen, Annaberg,
Crmmtschan Wertar, Elbenstoek, Glanchan and
other cities.
