Applications for floor space at the
Mid-winter exposition have begun ar
irving from localities over the state. The
applicants for places on the floor space
of the auditorium are also numerous,
and Manager Brigham of the exposition
company says that the affairs of the
show are fully month ahead of what
they were last year this time. An at
tractive line of advertising matter is
being sent out over the state and there
are good reasons why much larger at
tendance may be expected this season
than was had last. One of these is that
the state legislature win be in session
at the time the exposition is being held,
and another Is the success which was
reached last year. and which through
its excellence received much favora bic
mention in different parts of the
country.
