BIG IDEA BEHIND THE SAGINAW INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION

The exposition which is to be held
In Saginw this year, from September
22 to 30, the fourth one, by the way,
which the ambitious city has offered,
is more than d mere display. 1t has
a larger idea behind it than the mere
exhibition of products or raw ma
terials, or frivilous entertainment.
The industrial exposition this year
is built on a broader base, has a
more definite purpose and a conscious
aim. The selfish may call it utilitar-
ian, the wise will see in it a benefi-
cent proposition. There is a mighty
object lesson behind 1t. There is un-
derstanding and progression woven
into the fabric of the exposition.
Compared to other expositions 1t Is
radically different In both scope and
character Any city can put up a
display, invite the world of jobbing
interests to assist and make large
volume. But when the lights are
turned into the big sign on the front
OF the Auditorium where the exposi-
ton Is to be held II will announce to
the world this truth. "The goods dis
played here are made In Saginaw and
used everywhere" And It will be alb
solutely true. Every article on dis
play in the huge building will be the
product OF Saginaw's factories. This

in itself is no mean accomplishment
when one considers the great capacity
of the building and reflects that only
a city of wonderfully diversified in
dustries could make such q boast and
make it good with a great variety of
products in which there is little if
any duplication. The exhibit is truly
representative in character
But it is more than that Statistics
show that Saginaw has added to her
manufacturing resources, assets and
capital during the past decade nearly
three hundred per cent, that it is a
progressive community of widely d.
vergent manufactures. The reports
show that there has been no CONNER
cial stagnation in Saginaw, even
when panic afflicted other parts of
the country. The reason is believed
to lie in great measure with the diver
sified industries, together with a uni
form cooperation and a consistent
plan OF development. To gather to-
gether these threads and lead them to
