Not only Buffalo but the entire Niagara

ans because of the generous support they

But we had been going only short
time when our views were changed We
. saw the immense number Of Canadian
. visitors hOckins TO ;he exposition, and
they were the very people whom our
manufacturers could reach by displaying
at the Pan-AMerican. Then there was a
struggle for space, and there was little
available The space ia the Agricultural
Building was taken up by Manitoba, and
Ontario came in for the bulk II the room
in the other buildings The Dominion
Government then made Curct ss'tDns, such
as providing transportation and feed Tor
stock and erecting this building, which
was designed primarily as q rendezvous.
The locating of the building also infu-

tories. and we decided To make merely an
agricultural display, and so put the build
ing where much Of our stock and dairy
products are shown.
/ In several respects the building differs
from th- other State and Government
! buildings on the grounds. and perhaps the
most striking feature is the homeiike air
of the place and the absolute lack OF
|otner buildings All this was due largely
} 10 Mr.. HudsOu's foresight. He permitted
no seats TO be placed in the exhibit rooms
proper, but provided comfortable chairs
and settees IN the little side rooms. where
