and cope with the revolutionizing
influences and changing customs that
are annually taking place. And for
this purpose time and place is set
apart to bring together the products
of the field, shop and the home. that
stimulus might be given to those de-
partments of labor, upon which rests
our great national wealth, prosperity
and civilization.
