Will GO TO CHICAGO
GREAT APPLE SHOW WINNERS
AT SPOKANE EXHIBIT.
Commercial Bodies of Whole Northwest
Unite to Exhibit to Eastern People
Mammoth Armory in Chicago to be
Used at Same Time as International
Livestock Exhibition

Official announcement is made by L.
f. Cartier Van Dissel chairman of the
board of trustees of the National Apple
Show, Inc, that the prize-winning fruit
kane, next November, and district and
general displays from Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Montana will be sent
to Chicago for exploitation purposes in
the First Regiment armory during the
week of the international Livestock ex-
hibition.
The Chicago plan involves an ex-
penditure of $4,000, exclusive of the
cost of the Spokane show, which is es-
timated at $4,000.
Officials of transcontinental railroads
interested in the development of the
northwestern states have guaranteed a
large proportion of the fund for the
first named exhibition and the various
fruit districts in the four states are de-
pended upon for $4,000 by taking
space to display their products at Chi
cage. No charge will be made for en-
tries or exhibition space at the Spo-
kane show, which is open to the world.
The general exhibits will be trans
ported from Spokane to Chicago free
of expense to the growers and, in addi-
ton, the management of the National
Apple show will move at least six prize
winning carloads, also the winners in
the 10-box, five-box, single box and
special display contests, thus making
an exhibition of apples that will attract
wide attention to the fruit districts
in the northwest as well as exploit their
products. Each district will have one
or more representatives in charge to
distribute literature and give out in
formation.
Space for district exhibits at Chi
cago has been engaged by the CONNER
