if they want them properly and CON
spicuously marked while on exhibition,
they should endeavor to 30 arrange it
that such a display and marks would be
alike creditable to the county aud state.
Lay out your plan and design and all
hands work to make it "a thing of
beauty and Joy for ever" Then when
you join in the grand march to Chicago
in the summer and fall of 1893, and
reach the North Dakota headquarters,
you will rejoice to see that a united effort
in one direction, with one object in view,
is the most reliable course to pursue.
Don't forget that what We place on
exhibition will stand before the visitors
from all parts of the world for one year.
This being SO, all specimens should be
prepared and so protected that they
will stand during that time. It will not
be an ordinary "harvest festival" and
autumn merry making" 1t is to be an
exhibit, among the different states and
territories of this country, and of the
nations Of the globe. Red, white and
blue cheese cloths and Chinese
lanterns won't go on this occasion
solid, straight, genuine, perfect goods
will be expected, and any other kind
will do harm.
Next in Importance to the exhibit is
the headquarters of North Dakota. We
want a headquarters, in fact one that
will be all that the word headquarters
implies. A substantial. comlnodious build
ing, free from cheap or shabby:embellish-
ments. 1t should be the intelligence
Office for the people of our state, the
register, the postofice, the reading room,
resting place and pivotal starting point
for all North Dakotans visiting the ex-
position. The hand bags, coats,
umbrellas and extra packages should be
safely stored away and checked, informa-

rooms and eating places, direc-
tories furnished of railroad trains and
of the city, the exposition grounds, and
Of the state, and national days, and OF
great gatherings. Our plainest people
visiting Chicago at that time must be
met in as kind a manner and given the
same attention as the distinguished
visiting statesman or four corner poll
tician. All of whom should be we'll
treated and made to feel at home.
Those who have this IN charge have
a job of no small proportions, and il
they make it successful they will be
poorly rewarded, either financially or in
gratitude. If they fail to give eatisfac.
ton they will long be remembered and
often reminded of the failure. They
cannot make it satisfactory to, you-the
people of"this state-without you put
your heads and shoulders to the enter.
prise. They will fail if you do not, and
the state cannot, the exposition cannot,
the nation cannot afford a failure. Let
our motto be: "It must be a winner"
This advice, this appeal, this outline
of the work, is a free will offering,
prompted by a desire to have the state
properly and proftably represented, and
in this Offering you ave the benefit OF
an experience at the Centennial in 1876,
at New Orleans in 1886 and at numerous
state and county expositions and fairs.
You are welcome to the experience. ]
hope you will accept the advice and
pardon any seeming meddling with work
that is entrusted to others.
