"MADE IN SOUTHERN CALIF0R-
MA" SHOW PLANS
Panorama Building Now Ready for In
staIlatlon of DispIays-Some
Things That One May
See There

Work began last week on the task o,
converting the Panorama building III
Main street into pavilion to house th'
coming MADE in Southern California
exposition. and the structure is nov
we'll along toward completion; so far
in fact, that the installation of ex'
hibits will begin this week. The show
does not open till May 2, but as the ex'
hibits are all to be live ones, in motion
depicting factories in operation, much
labor is required to install them and
connect them up with the electric power
plant.
The entries for the show now number
lis, and so great has been the pressure
for room that huge addition has been
constructed on the east side, and every
nook and corner available has been util-
ized. All the newspapers will have
booths, and these have been assigned
them in the long entrance. A band
stand to house the Catalina band OF
twenty-five players has been erected
and this band will play every after
noon and night. The building will be
decorated throughout in the national
colors, and $500 electric lights will add
to it's beauty.
Among the exhibits on which work
has begun is that of Bishop, which will
cate of the same firms display at tha
ST. Louis worlds fair. The Pacific Gem
company will have plant in operation
showing the cutting and polishing of
native gems. There will be a fountain
of wine shown by winery, whence
champagne will spout twenty-five feet
high. A saddler will make harness; a
pump works will have a large space,
where pumps will be in operation; a
complete mining and milling plant will
show the processes of gold and silver
mining, and so many others of like
nature will be on view that one may
easily learn how many things are done
which are now mystery to the un-
initiated
The show is not in any sense a money
making affair, but is intended to in
form visitors and home folk alike of
what is made in Southern California.
So many have an idea that this Is
merely a fruit growing country that
the Manufacturers and Merchants as
sociation thought 1t wise to disabuse
their minds of that notion. Hence it
took up the project for a display of
what is actually made In this country
and the show is under it's auspices and
bears the Endorsement of the chamber
of commerce as well. While a 10-cent

tickets will be lavishly obtainable, every
exhibitor having books of them, and all
local merchants and manufacturers be-
ing literally supplied,
General Manager 7. Newman said last
week, speaking of the show: 1T will
be startling no less to our own people
than to the visitors, and many who
think Los Angeles doesn't make any
thing will be astounded to know the re-
sources of her factories. All the ex-
hibits will show actual processes, each
machine being in active operation.
Souvenirs will be freely distributed and
1t win be impossible for anyone not to
view the show with interest. We are
making fine progress on it and 1t will
be all ready for the opening May O."
The show will last two weeks and
every effort will be made to accommo-
date the throngs who will attend 1t.
