WOULD HELP THE CITY.

Talk of Plans for . Big Exposition
Building and Monster Exhibit of
New Haven,s Multitude OF Indus
tries.
A few days ago the COURIER published
well prepared article from the pen of one
of our prominent leaders in movements
for the advancement of New Ravens pros
perity, which brought conspicuously to
the front the project of the erection of an
exposition building of the character of the
one referred to in the article given below.
The writer commended the subject to the
attention of the chamber of commerce, OF
which he is prominent member, breach
ing the idea that such building be erected
under the auspices of our chamber of com
mercs. The article attracted considerable
attention, and not few of our leading
| business men and other prominent men,
active and public-spirited, have expressed
warm approval of the project mentioned.
It is especially interesting to note also the
following excellent article from the last
issue of the New England Grocer, "a leading
influential journal in its class, published at
| the Hub. The Grocer was much interest
ed in our recent big food and health expo
sition, which, by the way. was SO much
appreciated and so popular and attended
| by 80 many of the ladies of the city that
another one is enthusiastically called for.
The Grocer says:
Some of the most prominent citizens OF New
| Haven, Conn.,. have suggested that 1t would be
an exceedingly wise plan to hold a large INDUS
trial celebration in the city, somewhat after the
| plan of the Food and Health exposition, which
New Haven is celebrated ali over the world
for the number and value OF Its industries
N be are word 70
zens forget the Importance Of New Ravens
| not realize the value and extent Of these.
In the city are manufactused the finest fire IRE
every civilized nationality under the sun procuret
| weapons Of her and the chase from the gunmak
ers Of New Haven; Some Of the finest and J., most
United Sta'e or In the world are made by some
of the New Haven manufacturers
in the city. The best steam heaters, the best
plumbing supplies that can be obtained in the
asd
known in the civilized world come from New Ha
manufaetursrs The wagons 60 to Australia US hs
foreign countries, we'll as to almost every city
and state in the United States.
1t is impossible, within the limits of reasonable
different industries that are located and art
; | being exclusively carried on within the confines
| of the city. There has never been an exhibition
devoted exclusively to the showing of the prod
, ucts of New Haven's enterprise and genius.
A citizen, who is exceedingly progressive in hi
with the hustle and enterprise of the world sug
| gests that the chamber of commerce could no
| perform service that would be of SO mucl
value to the industrial interests of New Have
as that of arranging for mammoth
exhibition of products of New Haven labo
and inventive skill. He suggests that an exhio
ton building be erected on one Of the squares i
not be extravagant and the building could
r provided with electrical power at a very reason
| able cost. In this building might be arrange
! the exhibits by all of the manufacturing firms
u | the city.
Q This gentleman being familiar with the man,
T. featured articles, says that the exhibition, in
- mechanical sense, would be vastly superior
d any ever held in the United States. From obse
g walton of exhibitions held in other places and
/, | knowledge of what has been shown at those e.
- billions, this gentleman feels certain that such
% exhibition in New Haven would result in pecu
d iary profit and OF its value as an advertising m
l. dunn, he says that no adj quate conception ca
, | be formed.
If such an exhibition was located in the pla'
Q excursion and other trains would bring in Lars
10 number of out oftown visitors, and those antit
pating buying any of the articles shown wou
come from all distances to secure information.
u | The name and fame of New Haven wou
,e spread abroad in the land and the effect Of Il
"A exhibition would last for years. This gentlem'
~ believes that the chamber of commerce would
well to consider this matter at a very early da
