GRAND DISPLAY At POHLMANN'S

That the coming Industrial Exhibition
of the Hudson City Business Mems AS
ISOLATION. which opens at Pohlmanns on
March l, will eclipse anything OF the
kind ever before attempted in the north
ern section of the Heights is evidenced
by the interest already displayed by in
tending exhibitors and the business pub
lie generally of the Old Fourth District.
The sixty-nine booths, which will be
arrange in Pohlmann's lower hall and
annexed pavilion, are being rapidly taken
by business men, and the indications are
that before the exhibition opens the de-
mand will exceed the supply.
Profting by their experience of last
year. when 1900 people visited the ex-
hibition, and when at times the crowd
was SO dense as to make it impossible to
traverse some of the narrower aisles, the
passage ways have been widened, and
none will be less than seven feet, While
some will be as wide as eleven feet. The
music stand. which last year occupied a
! position on the north side of the pavilion,
will be changed to an elevation on the
west side of the same enclosure.
In the front hall there will be twenty
booths and confectionery and refreshment
stands. Eight of these will be ranged
against the south wall. Three booths ana
the confectionery stand will occupy the
extreme north side, and two rows, n
with five and the other with four booths,
with wide aisles running between them,
will be placed in the centre of the hall.
h improvement over last year in the
arrangement of booths in the pavilion hall
will be especially noticeable. There will
be six at the west end, eight at the south,
nine at the east and eight at the north
sides of the hall. The centre of the
floor will be occupied by eight groups of
booths, two of four and six of two booths
each. The main aisle in this hall viii
be ten feet wide and three other alsies
of seven, eight and nine feet, respective
", will extend from east to west, while
two aisles of seven feet each and one
of nine feet will cross from north to
south.
Every possible provision for handling
the immense crowd, which it is expected
will attend the exhibition, is being made
by Manager William P. K~astenhuber and
the Executive Committee of the asso-
citation, consisting of Andrew Knox,
chairman; j. Wallace Black, Robert C.
Troll, julius Berger, Henry ROLLS and
Charles Lehman, Sr.
Nearly all the exhibitors whose beau
full displays and liberal distribution of
pretty souvenirs helped to make last
years exhibition the success which it
proved, will again be on hand. All realize
the benefits to the business interests of
the section derived from the exhibition
OF last year, and, with but few excep-
tions. all were anxious to see the success
repeated.
