The men who built the Exposition are
q strong body Of workers. It's first sug-
gestion came from Col John A. Averiil,
the Director General, and it is to his en-
ergE, executive ability and never firing
industry that the success of the under
taking is in a great measure due. But
the one man Of all men who made the
Exposition possible IS Captain F. W.
WAGNER, the president of the company.

spared time nor money. His means have
been pledged for its success and it is said
