80 important a matter as this was
absolutely unthought of at other ex-
positions, but here 1t is one of the great

everybody knows that the greatest
business concern in this broad land is
the National Postoffice. with it's 40.
UOO and more sub-stations and minor

The present plan which has been
adopted by the National Board calls
for the construction of a crystal Post.

constructed entirely OF plate glass,
walls and ceiling to be made Of the
shimmering transparent material.
The postal business of the Office is
bound to be very heavy at an exposi,
tion Of the magnitude of the one to
come, and the exhibit of the inner
workings of the building cannot but
be interesting to the thousands who
will be enabled to see it all without
the slightest possibility of getting In
the way, or in any way interfering with
the busy employees.
Another display, and one that will
be vastly more interesting than the
postal display, will be that which will
occupy in it's entirety the mammoth
Graphic Arts building.
To the shame of past expositions,
the displays that have been made of
printing and it's allied arts have been
small, cheap and unsatisfactory, and
in most instances those displays have
been thrown helter skelter and the
| hodge-podge manner into some man
ufacturing building, and there left to
be undiscovered.
Every editor and every printer in the
land knows of the Grass ignorance pre-
yailing in lay circles regarding the
printing art, and every editor has al
some time in his career been simply
dumbfounded at the startling, ignorant
and foolish questions asked Of him by
men who in other lines were more than
commonly we'll informed.
To the public, therefore, a Graphic
Arts building cannot but be interesting
and it takes but moments reflection
to see the claim for display of the
art which has countless millions OF
dollars invested, and which has done
more than all other arts and sciences
for the raising up of the human race.
To H. t. Koerner the credit for the
erection of the Graphic Arts building
and the installation of the display is
due, and in submitted design of the
building which he has sent to the Ad-
visory Board Of Architects the gentle
man has mapped out the display in &
manner which in advance insures one
of the most interesting and certainly
most instructive of any display that
could be arranged.
| In this great building printing and
| its allied arts will be shown from the
earliest rise Of the art of placing rude
characters on parchment to the pres
ent time. The display will compre
hend the exemplif1cation of all THAI
/ goes to make up printing as now un-
| derstood There will be displays OF
| lithography, Typography, papermak-
| ing, bookbinding, electrotyping, type
making, color printing, and as a eli
max to the list there will be published
each day a great newspaper complete
| in every detail.
| Just what newspaper this will be Is
as yet unsettled, but already some OF
/ the members of the Exhibits Commit

allowing the great daily papers of the
/! United States to bid for the privilege
of running off each day a. special Pan
American edition.

for the publication securing the right.
