many of the most prominent business
men have begun to discuss the question
of the prestige the city has gained and
the permanent benefit to be derived
from this entertainment. The success
of the the carnival is now assured and
the mex question, or rather, the, Ques-
ton now Is, what will the mex one be?
In the minas of many of those most
interested the question is already an
swered. A grand International EXPOSE
ton for 1902.
This has come about as a natural
consequence and in reply to the de
mands of American manufacturing es-
Establishments whoswish to display their
goods before the trade of Mexico. Bus
ness men have noticed with satisfac-
ton the great interest taken by the
mining companies, the fine stockmen
and other lines of trade in securing
space at the coming carnival hat the
many hundreds of visitors from Next
CO might see their products and their
property and the next idea is to give
SNCiy SSLSSAh III thAo oAAS
next veal to exhibit their goods here
where the business people of Mexico
can come and see what they have.
The carnival association has already
resolved itself into permanent organi-
cation but one question remains: How
can they add new attractions to the
next entertainment unless it be made
an exposition as we'll as a carnival?
From a financial standpoint" said
a man who is deeply interested this
morning. AN exposition here would be
a greater financial success than in any
other city in the United States. At any
other place in the country manufac-
turers would display their goods right
at the home OF manufacturers of the
samearticles and no n would see
them except people who had seen such
things many times and are naturally
not particularly interested. Here the
manufacturers fro mevery part of the
country could show their goods to peo-
pie in another country, where, too,
these goods are not manufactured and
have a great advantage over the Brit
ism manufacturers, who now get the
best trade of Mexico. Mexico is a new
field and one that is in need of most
every article made in the United States.
The manufacturers could profit directly
in exhibiting their goods here when
they could not in any other part of this
country.
Not only would the exposition fea-
ture be profitable to exhibitors but here
