~ chase exposition in st.
4 - Louis may be found any
day this summer the most cos
mopolitan throng gathered in
any one spot in many a year.
They are there all intent on
viewing the great fair, held to
commemorate the acquisition by
the United States of that vast
territory known as the Louisi-
ana purchase, now comprising
some of the largest and most
promising states in the Union.
This exposition is a second real
worlds fair, for the greatest fair
of the kind ever held was the
Columbian exposition at Chica-
go eleven years ago. The pro-
gress that has been made In
this and other countries in the
past decade is strikingly shown
to the visitor at the st. Louis
fair who was also at the Chica-
go fair. Each state in the Union
has it's own building and has in
stalled an exhibit representa-
tive of the respective states.
Some of the wealthier states
have erected costly and elabor-
ate structures, with the evident
purpose of emphasizing to the
visitor the fact that it's people
have wealth. Other states, and
especially those whose resour-
ces are yet far from fully devel-
oped, have taken pains to show
the visitor what there is in them
that can be turned into money
by industry and development
All the states west of the Mis-
sissippi come under this cate
CORY, likewise many of those
east of the big river. Adver-
tising is the watchword thun-
dering down the line of this ar
ray of states. Every feature of
commerce and industry is given
a place in the catalogue of ex-
hibits and literature dealing
with resources of each section
of the respective states is scat
tered broadcast.
Foremost among the younger
generation of states is Washing

ing and varied assortment of
