THE CITRUS FAIR.
A BULLETIN ISSUED BY THE
CHAMBER.
The Plan of Conducting the Exhibit.
Little Expense for the Exhibitors.
The Full List of Premiums.

The following bulletin was issued
yesterday by @, d. Willard, general
manager, and Frank Virgins, superin-
tendent. of the proposed Southern Cali
fornia citrus fair:
About one month from date all South
ern California will be talking about the
citrus fair, which will then be opening
it's doors to the public in Los Angeles.
The newspapers will contain many col
umns of matter describing the display,
photographs of individual exhibits will
appear in every window, tourists from
the east and excursionists from all Sec
tions of this state will flock into Los An
geles to see the great show, and the ex-
citement and rivalry among the various
localities represented will be at its
height.
tion now before the executive committee
is: What sections are to be represented
in the fair and what space is to be allot-
ted to them?
In order to make the expense incurred
by the various localities as small as
possible, the executive committee pro-
poses to see that no charge shall be
made for freight on the railways, nor
for carriage from the depot to the pavil-
ion. Rough lumber for the construc-
tion of any design, and cheese-cloth and
cambria sufficient for decorative pur-
poses will be furnished without cost to
exhibitors. In addition to all this,
when the fair is over so per cent of the
net profits will be paid back to the To-
calities exhibiting, to cover any expenses
which they may have incurred. This
gives the various localities direct in
terest in the financial success of the fair.
There is great deal of space in the
pavilion, but not great deal on the
lower floor. The choice space will be
allotted to those localities which are first
to file with the general manager defin
ite proposition as to the amount of fruit
they propose to exhibit, together with
something in the nature of pledge
that they will display it in way to add
to the artistic merit and general attract
iveness of the entire fair. This does
not mean the displaying of the fruio in
any way that will detract from it's dig
nifty and worth. 1t does not mean the
construction of any elaborate architectu-
raj design. The fair will be run primarily
in the interests of the fruit grower, and
every opportunity will be given him to
make satisfactory display of his best
product, and to obtain from the judges
fair decision on it's merits.
The fair, however, can be made
financial success only through the en-
thusastic cooperation of all exhibitors
in the effort to make the whole display
brilliant scene Of beauty, which will
arrest public attention and attract thou
sands OF visitors.
These are the questions that are be-
fore the management of the fair. The
question before you is: What is your
locality doing, or what does it propose
to do?
