OF THE NORTHERN PACIFIC

The Northern Pacific railway has main
tanned numerous land products exhibits
during the last six months in various east
ern states. Following the Omaha Land
show, 1t moved its exhibit bodily to Column
bus, O., where special quarters were rented
and the exhibit maintained during the
month of February. From Columbus the
exhibit was moved to Cincinnati, and the
exhibit was maintained there during the
month Of March. During the month of
April IL was maintained at Indianapolis in
a prominent location, and for this month a
display is made in Peoria. Thousands of
people have seen these exhibits and have
manifest great interest in the territory
represented. All winter the Northern Pa
oific exhibit car has been entour through
the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa.
Missouri, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, the
number of visitors to this car up to the
present time totalihg approximately $50, OO0.
While this exhibit work is quite expen-

rented and the preparation and installation
of the exhibits, yet the company officials
declare that 1t lie getting full value in re-
suits.
