N. D. EXHIBIT
MAKES BIG HIT
FLlcKERTAlL STATE GETS SOME
VALUABLE ADVERTISING FROM
SPLENDID EXHIBIT WHICH IS
BEING SHOWN AT FAIRS IN THE
EAST.

North Dakota Is again getting some
very valuable advertising from it's big
fair exhibit which is now being shown
at the larger county fairs of the east.
The exhibit is now at Fondulac, Wis,
and the following from The Fondulac
Commonwealth will give some idea as
to the hit that it is making in that
state:
Among the exhibits which the at
tracing more than ordinary attention
at the Fond du Lac county fair this
year lis the agricultural exhibit Of the
state of North Dakota. The exhibit,
which is shown under canvas, includes
an exceedingly neat display Of wheat,
flax, oats, barley, in fact, all of the
cereals, besides the different grasses
both tame and wild, as well as many
sample Of seeds. That state has just
harveted the biggest crop In it's his
tory, and not specimen is shown but
what is Of this years gathering. 1t
has always been the policy Of the de-
partment in arranging these exhibit
tons, to not carry over any Of the
samples, but to have an entirely new
collection each year. Another fact,
the collection Is representative of the
entire state, and not any particular
section or county.
AS specimens Of some of the unde-
veloped resources Of the state, show
case filed with fancy pottery, includ-
ing table ware, jardinieres, pedestals,
etc, is shown, all manufactured from
Dakota clay. AS a sample of brick,
also manufactured from this native
clay, a Are place is included in the dis
play
These shows are prepared and ar
| ranged by Commissioner w. G. Gill
breath, of Bismarck, They are gotten
up for the sole purpose of advertising
Dakota as grain producing state and
this is one of three Of the kind on the
road this season. After the close OF
the local fair this one is to be shown
at the state fair in Milwaukee as well
as at Madison, Elkhorn, Beaver Dam
and other county fairs in the state;
one is touring Iowa, while the third is
| covering the state fairs of Indiana and
| Illinois. This is the fourth season
since this mode of advertising was
first inaugurated b. Commissioner
Gflbreath, and that 1t has been the
means of inducing many to take ur
homes in that section is evidenced by
the fact of many from Wisconsin hav-
| ing gone there who first became inter-
ested by seeing these displays at the
county fair.
The show is in charge Of an attend
ant who will be pleased at any time
to answer all questions and give any
information desired. He will tell you
of the educational and other state
institutions give you the price OF
government lands. etc. One thing GER
tain, you can not spend part Of
your county fair time to better adj
vantage than by visiting the North
Dakota tent, especially If you are en-
pertaining thoughts Of change.
