All exhibitors should remember
that the freight charges are paid on
all these exhibits, free space or stalls
furnished, and every accommodation
possible given. The money value OF
the prize is often the least considera-
ton to an exhibitor. The advertise
ment of his product, the pleasure of
having the best in the State of its kind,
the pleasure of a friendly competition
with his brother farmer, all outvalue
the money consideration. At the same
time the prize money pays more than
the cost Of exhibiting. and a weeks
stay in the capital of his State. Send
for a complete list and ask as many
questions as you wish. Secretary Love,
at Columbia, will cheerfully comply
with any request.
