en- until November 1.-The displays
include everything concerned il the
making of books, newspapers and pc
riodicals and from the most complete
exhibition of the art preservative ev
er attempted. While the show will be
of special interest to those directly
interested in the arts and trades rep
resented, it will also appear through
its novelty and attractiveness to the
general public, and there is little
cause to doubt that it will be the
chief attraction this summer for tour
lists of all countries. The fact that the
exhibits have been installed in the
Grand Palais on the Champs Elysees,
which for many years has been Eu-
ropes greatest exposition building,
adds interest to the exhibition.
The American commissioners at the
exposition are DR.. William H. Tolman,
of New York, and Mrs. Tolman, both
of whom are well known IN connec-
stitute of Social Service The appoint
ment by the French government of
Mrs. Tolman is especially notable for
the reason that this is the first time
il history that a woman mas been
named to represent a great nation at
of the leading newspapers of the Unit
ed States have representation here,
in either large or small way. All of
the more prominent Paris publications
are taking part in the exposition, sew
eral having stalled fac simile plants
and offices.

est has been manifested il the show
and scarcely leading periodical or
newspaper oI eny capital or large city

be granted by competent juries and
there is little doubt that American
publishers and manufacturers will Sc
cure a goodly share of the awards ow
American exhibits in many lines. This
is realized by the French government
representatives, who nave placed the
American displays in most conspic-
uous place on the main floor. The
space given American newspapers ad-
joins that allotted to the great French
daily. weekly and monthly publica-
tions.

typesetti1g machines and presses, are

tive merits.
Authorization for the exposition was
granted by ministerial decree on July
20 1906, just a year ago today, and
since that time the preparations have
been going forward with an earnest
ness and energy that have brought
the big project to successful conclu-
sion.
