Free Transportation Promised.
Our plan is to provide exhibition
space for district displays along three
sides of the building, making SER
les of booths similar to those used |
at the National Apple Show at Spo-
kane. There is total of 5000 |
square feet Of space available for this
purpose. BY making rental charge
of $1.25 a square foot, we can meet
the required guarantee amount.
To give each district a fair chance
we are forced to limit the size of the
district plays. All booths will be II I
feet in depth and district must con-
tract for either 10, 20 or 80 foot I
frontage A space 10 by IL would |
cost you in rental, $3.50; a space 20 |
by IL costs $500, and 80 by IL costs
$3.50. We will provide transporta-
ton on your exhibit to Chicago and
will erect the frame work for your
booth.
The rule of first come first served"
in the matter of location will be fol-
lowed.
Only First Are Eligible.
No exhibits will be allowed in Chi
cago except those shown first at the
Spokane show.
II your district desires to make an
exhibit, you should take immediate
action In the matter, az our option
ON the building in Chicago must be
taken up before April /. and ungess
we have sufficient space contrai ted
to guarantee the necessary expense,
we must abandon the plan of hold
ing the Chicago exhibition.
