In assembling the exhibits, es-
pecially those representing the var

the managers of Exposition have
been careful to select only such as
show the latest and best attainments
in every line of industry. Hence,
it will be the first "selective' Ex-

States, in which every phase of
commercial and industrial develop
ment will be displayed SO arranged
and classified that visitors may oh.
tain an intelligent understanding
of the history and growth of any
specific branch Of the trades and
Industries, without the necessity of
visiting other buildings to inspect
another part of the same exhibit.
Many reasons combine to make
the celebration the most successful
