The history of the West Virginia
Exposition and State Fair reads like
the history of the State itself. From
an unpretentioas beginning. both have
steadily grown to be tower Of
! strength. The State. through the de-
velopment of her natural resources, has
taken her place beside the leading com
monwea,ths of the United States; the
Fair. through careful management, and
eonscientlonsiy living up to every made
promise, has been accorded the dis
tinetion of being one of the best and
most reliable educational and amuse-
ment institutions OF its kind in the
country.
We begin the new century under the
most favorable circumstances. The
improved condition of the grounds and
buildings is in keeping with the pros
porous era the whole people are now
enjoying. The events already arranged
to make the Fair of 1901 stand out
above all Its predecessors, are Of
greater and grander magnitude than
any ever offered our patrons. and we
don't know of any Fair, even in much
larger cities, ever Offering a better pro-
gramme than this one.
/ In bidding you come, we have every
reason to believe that you will say,
when you go home, that this years
Fair exeels all those of former years in
every way. and in promising this, we
are mindful of our reputation never to
exaggerate, never to misrepresent, and
never to make promise that cannot be
fulfilled. 1t is upon this principal we
have won your confidence, the conf
denee OF our patrons
