The purpose is not to make large dis
plays, not 10 get up a great fair in which
each exhibitor shall endeavor to outdo
his neighbor in volume of goods shown,
but to have wise limitation apply to pre-
vent crowding and OVERRIDING, and so as
what is produced and manufactured in
our midst, and to illustrate the truth
that very large, unfortunately ex-
ceeding large proportion of things they
and use they buy abroad, that
are made and produced here and work
they send away for is executed at home
just as well.
This is true from mechanics to art,
from handicraft to vegetable growth,
from designing to model making, from
wool to iron work, from printing to plat
ing, from engraving to assaying. from
ore-testing to carving. and 50 on
a long list.
We do not think that it would be at all
difficult to gather in such a home pro-
duct and manufacture exposition,
hundred exhibitors with probably five
thousand exhibits. Such an ex-
position would be a great and most
and profitable surprise to our
people and stimulate other counties in
a way that will result in State and dis
trict fairs being greatly benefited as an
inevitable outcome, by encoura ging the
exposition spirit and exciting generous
rivalry.
