wealthy business man will be appre-
ciated, and we will endeavor to re-
turn the same after the exposition.
Il hold in my hand an advertising
pamphlet in which is shown half
tone pictures Of every state building
70 =" seen on the grounds. Every
building, including those of Virginia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersev,
Ohio, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Missouri, North Dakota, and others,
including the general exhibition build
ings to be erected by the exposition
company, are built on residential
lines. In fact, every building on the
grounds, excepting possibly the gen.
eral states exhibition building, which
will be an immense affair, will be
built on these lines. Why, you ask?
Return of Money.
Because, following the exposition,
the beautiful and extensive grounds
will be converted into residential
suburb of Norfolk, and therefore
every state building is being erected
so that it can be converted into fine
residence. These buildings will be
sold to those who desire fine houses
on Hampton Roads, and, therefore,
will cost the states little or nothing.
"F7orida's building, according to the
plans drawn, will make magnificent
residence, and can be sold at or near
/ the cost of it's erection. Right here
I will state that, as chief fair commits
sioner for Florida, have already an
option on the land on which the build
ing will be erected, and will have no
} trouble in disposing of it as syn
dictate is being formed for this very
purpose. In this way those who con-
tribute to the erection of the build
ing will have at least, seventy-five
per cent of the money contributed re-
turned to them Every other state
will build with this end in view, and
Florida, of necessity, will do likewise,
particularly as she will be the only
state represented that is not backed
