1t was proposed to hold pure f0ou snow IN
Los Angeles after the clio c o the one Ut gan
Francisco, but this scheme seems TO nave tallsn
through. At least nothing has heen done about
1T lately. The date set Tor u was aDoat the ssm ,
as that for tho rtate citrus fair snd 1t was pur-
pc ted that Hazards pavilion had been en-
gagged for the purpose. The Cirrus Fair soc "a
ton. however mas secured the pavilion Tor It's
display, SO the pure food show seems TO De OUT
III the cold.
There is IL regular circuit of thee pure food
shows. The first WAS held in Bos on IN Octoosr
and was g great success A tor the Boston show
one was held in Chicago; then Kansas CITY,
Denver, Salt Lake id otner western C ties were
favored with slmiar exhibitions. The circu
was to conclude with Los Angeles, bus IL ms
that the last stand will BE- at san Franclsco, OW-
ing to the lack OF intei est taken in II here.
Had the tine for the pure food show in Los
Angeles been set for any pc iod That would
not have con flicted with the citrus fair, 1T
inopportuue time, Los Angeles business men
did not manifest emo Ugh intere' in II, TO en-
courage is projectors to carry out their ans.
1t would not be of much advantage 10 local
PRODUCERS of food products 10 enter into COM
petition with oh other here, but the pure food
SHOWS at the east afford an excel eat opportu-
nifty to advertise California fruits and other
food products. A strong effort was made TO iu-
terests Los Angeles producers in tho pure food
show at Boston. but the local manu- taeturers
all claimed that they had orders abe ID for their
output and would not gain anything by the
expense they would be put 10 If they sent cx-
hibits to B0 ton.
Los Angeles IL 30 often asked to pla ,e exhib-
its in the east that it would be good thing ior
food products on hand which they could for
ward at short notice. The expense OF such ex-
hlbits could we'll be borne by local producers.
| Ste ps should be taken next year to have Los
| Angeles represented at the pure ioo1 shows OF
similar exhibitions held in eastern Cities
