TENNESSEE'S GREAT
STATE EXPOSITION
Will Show Resources of a Great
SecCiOn-Brings the PeO-
pie Together.

Tennessee is indeed a great state.
Never before has it given SO pronounced
demonstration of it's real greatness
in it's agricultural and industrial re-
sources as was displayed at the great
State Fair i'll 1910. The annual exhi-
bition of the Tennessee State Fair is
only the presentation of the evidence
establishing the fact that this great
commonwealth is on the highway to a
still greater degree of success and
achievement in agricultural prosperity
than as ever heretofore existed. Each
year sees this great agricultural enter
prise climb higher and higher in the
scale of exhibition achievements.
The Tennessee State Fair is the ex
ponent of a great agricultural state
whose resources are primarily the soil
and the products thereof The man be-
hind the pillow and the boy upon the
cultivator have been the prime factors
in building up the conditions which today
assert the greatness and grandeur OF
this highly prosperous and wealthy dis
trict of country. Almost from the be.
ginning of the settlement of Tennessee,
it acquired the distinction of being an
agricultural state. The coat of arms OF
the state is agriculture and commerce
and today it is one of the greatest
agricultural states in the entire Union.
There is nothing in agriculture and
live stock that cannot be produced sue
cessfully in Tennessee and at less cost
than almost any other section of the
country.
Brings People Together.
The Tennessee State Fair has brought
the people of Tennessee in closer touch
than ever before, and they are begin
ming to realize more than ever that the
Tennessee State Fair is really and truly
a Tennessee institution, and that they
are a part of it, that one of the first
duties is to attend the State Fair and
lend their influence to the enterprise
by their attendance.
The people of Tennessee have finally
acquired the State Fair habit, and they
are coming out without any urging or
special inducement. The great educa.
tional features of the fair are being
appreciated and the progressive citizen
feels that he cannot afford to stay away.
The State Fair is the greatest factor
in the state in demonstrating the values
of Tennessee lands, each year convinc'
ing more of the fact that Tennessee is
a great agricultural state, and that Ten
nessee land investments cannot be bet
tered; that this is "a good enough state
to live in for anybody.

bigger and better each year, and now
