Norfolk, Va, March 28.-The great
World Fairs and Expositions of the
past have conclusively demonstrated,
that the majority of the visitors at
such celebrations spend most of the
time examining and studying that
which represents the latest and best
in each line of industry. People at
tend such National Functions seeking
educational gain, historical knowl-
edge and innovating pleasantries.
that they may meet intellige-tly the
demands of commercial and social life
One of the great problems of today
is how to meet and satisfy in its mod
ern commercial sense the demands
and eXigencies of industrial progress
how to economic expenses; how to
regulate production, as we'll as to
stimulate enterprise generally.
Commercially we are one people.
From a commercial point of view state
lines are invisible. New York, Chica-
go, New Orleans, San Francisco and
Norfolk are business neighbors and
are not pent up by state lines. Hence
the Importance of National Exposi-
tions assembling the latest and most
improved products manufactured pro-
mitigating the cause and effects of
industrial facts concerning material
progress, along with the exploitation
of historical and educational knoWl
edge generally.
The government promptly appro-
priated in the instance of the James
town Exposition nearly two million
dollars, appointing officials directly
from the Army and Navy, who, along
with the well selected Board of Gov
errors, combine well defined efforts
and influences to make it an educa
tional, historical and educational com
memoration of inestimable value to
the Nation. Such movements on the
part of the government to further EX-
positions of a National Nature do
much to direct the minds of people
to such invention and means as will
tend to secure equal opportunity and
free competition il industrial pursuits
and consequently the natural distribu
ton of corporate as well as individ-
ual wealth throughout the country.
Those in charge of exhibits have
decided upon, and are arranging for
unique display of the most improv-
ed articles ever manufactured. A
tSelective Display" as it is styled of
specimens of the most recent crea-
tions of manufacturing enterprises,
with demonstrations, and opportuni-
ties for the investigation of conditions
which the prospective manufacturer
must meet, and the problems he must
solve in the establishment of new in
duStrial undertakings.
The Department of Manufacturers
and Liberal Arts will present a most
comprehensive exhibit of established
manufacturers, with instructive illus
trations in factory economy and equip
ment that reduce costs. increase eff
cheney, better product. which are the
three constant purposes of the fac
tory manager. There will also be
shown such devices and methods in
system, equipment and management
as will help bring about the desired
savings and improvements.
The statement that the profits of the
packing house industry are today de-
rived from the waste products of ten
years ago and the packing house in
dustry is not alone in this business
is another way of stating the fact
that in commercial sense this is al
age of specialization. While this spec
ial development was in progress, the
people OF the West were. burning
corn for fuel purposes, the people OF
the East suffering for want of food.
Today in the South at the large saw
mills millions of feet of timber is be-
ing burned annually in waste fires be-
cause of the enormous accumulation
Of what is known as the slab boards
and considered worthless by the op-
orators of the mills. Do these people
not know that paper and many other
useful articles are being malufactur-
ed out of material similar to this that
is supposed to be waSte-that there
are people in the North suffering for
want of wood for heating and cooking
purposes?
The knowledge of industrial pro-
gress that may be gained at the James
town Exposition Will do much TO resu-
late trade conditions and excite and
stimulate manufacturers
