THE WORLD WITH
FENCE AROUND It
LAND AND SEA HAVE CONTRI-
BUTED TO THE ST. LOUIS FAIR
ALL TIMES AND ALL CLINIES.

Many of our readers have toured Eu-
rope, perhaps, have even made the trip
around the world; but the purse of
millionaire, and the days of a Methu-
sala VIII not suffice for visit to all the
interesting places in the world; no one
man can see it all.
However, the seemingly impossible
comes very near accomplishment
through the medium of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, which is indeed
the world i'm miniature"
Here one can see at moderate eX-
pense Of time and money what would
cost thousands of dollars and years Of
time to seek out by the usual methods
of travel and exploration.
You will find at the great st. Louis
Worlds Fair the best work of the ar
lists and sculptors of every nation; you
Will gaze upon pictures and statuary
more beautiful even than the magma
ton can picture; you will note the lat
est inventions and discoveries of man
kind in every branch of industry, you
Will see eXemplitied all the up-tO-date
processes of manufacture, you will
stand face to face with natives of al
most every country in the world, many
of them living in villages which are eX
act reproductions of the ones they have
left behind them; you will see growing
fruits and flowers and forests; you will
gaze upon birds and beasts and insects
of every species; you will become ac-
quainted with the best handiwork, the
! best achievements of all peoples.
/ But what we particularly wish to i'm
press upon our readers is the fact that
all this miniature world is pictured and
told about in The Forest City" Worlds
Fair Art Portfolios. All things most
worthy of preservation, the best in
every department; the sculpture, the
peoples, the striking events, are all re-
produced in the highest style of photo
graphic art.
Visit the Fair if you can, but if you
can not, the next best thing is this SUI
perb art series, which in its entirely
forms a complete pictorial and descrip-
tive history of the great event, and is
worthy of a place in any library.
If you do not visit the Fair, you will
find the Forest City" series indispens-
able; if you do, you will find it invalu-
able as a souvenir and record of the
most marvellous spectacle of modern
times.
The coupon printed in our columns
from day to day and 10 cents to cover
the cost of handling, wrapping, mail
ing and addressing, brings you any part
issued Get the back numbers at once
and hereafter keep up with the process
sion. No progressive, intelligent Amer
lean can afford to be withoug "The
Forest City" series.
The views are all taken especially for
this work by the official photographer
of the Exposition, and the descriptive
matter, which is characteristic, compre-
hensive and concise, is all written by
Walter B. Stevens, the eminent journal
list, who was made Secretary of the EX
position. The publication is thus doubly
official Four parts now ready. Part
ready tomorrow.
