MIDWINTER EXPOSITION.
Arrangements for the Big Show Be
ing Rapidly Completed.

The Auditorium building has been
secured from January 18th to
February 3rd, 1909, inclusive, for the
exposition, the dates of the exposition
proper will be January 1S to Goth,
the time intervening between Janu-
airy 11th and 18th to be used in pre-
pairing for putting in the booths,
decorations, exhibits. etc, and the
devoted to their removal.
1t is the intention of the directors
and management to get the best pos
sible exhibitors and amuSem ents and
no expense will be spared in fitting up
the building inside and out to make
it attractive and in perfect keeping
with past record and reputation. The
exposition will be conducted along the
same plane that has heretofore ap-
pealed to the trade that all high class
producers desires to reach, thus COM
ing in direct contact with the con-
sumers.
That these expositions have proved
successfully in the past has been con-
clusively demonstrated by the con-
stantly increased attendance each
succeeding year and from present in
dications we feel justified in assert
ing that this year will prove no ex-
ception to the rules because of the
generally prosperous conditions pre-
vailing throughout the country and
from the fact that the legislature will
be in session we have every reason to
believe our attendance will run over
fifty thousand during the two weeks
of the exposition.
