to demonstrate to receptive audience
what has been accomplished in the
United States along every line of en-
deavor.
Unlike worlds fair, where large
percentage of the visitors are COM
mercially negligible sight-seers and
exhibits are lost in maze of many
buildings and amusement resorts, this
indoor exposition will appeal pre-
eminently to the business men of Eu-
rope, who will want to see what the
Americans are doing. Neither will the
results obtained depend so much on
the amount of space occupied. as on
the intrinsic merits of the goods dis
played.
Three of the best months of the
year have been selected in which to
hold the exposition, and during that
period the exhibitors will reach thou
sands of appreciative and interested
people by means of the unfailing
method of ocular demonstration. The
throngs will be drawn from every ma
ton on the face Of the globe and will
include the hosts of American tourists
who annually visit Europe. Most i'm.
portant of all, visitors to the exposi.
ton will be ever conscious of the fact
that, large as the exposition palace is,
such an indoor exposition must. of
necessity, be selective and qualitative
in character. This, added to the dis
tinguished auspices under which the
exposition will be held, and to the re-
sultant outward splendor of the occa-
sion, cannot fail to enhance the pres
tige of the exhibitors and their prod
ucts both at home and abroad.
"The illustrated comments on the
exposition by the trade press of both
hemispheres are another feature, the
value OF which. from publicity point
of view, cannot be overestimated The
official catalogue of this unique gath
ering of Americas best products will
constitute a permanent record of the
exhibitors and their wares, a Blue
book of American industries as it
We're. which progressive dealers and
importers the world over will have
natural desire to consult in looking for
new connections or in placing orders.
"An award at this, qualitive ex-
position par excellence. will be con-
sidered prima facie evidence of SUI
periority and exceptional merit.
such, in substance, are some Of
the advantages which an exhibit at
this exposition will carry with it from
the exhibitors point of view. 1t mere
