the state will be asked to aid in the
SECURING of prize winner exhibits.

time it is gathered in Denver until the
close Of the exposition will be met by
the Denver Chamber of Commerce.
| For Colorado to win any of the
prizes offered in competition with every
other state in the Union and with
Canada will mean untold benefit to
the state. The county furnishing the
prize winning exhibit will also secure
much publicity and advertising of a
value to be secured IN no other way.
