THE STATES BIG EXPOSITION
1t Will Open In Bismarck septembe,
7oth and continue Twenty Days.

People generally do not realize
the Importance or grasp the magni-
tude of North Dakota's first indus
trial exposition, which is scheduled
to occur at Bismarck September
26th to October 10Th. Heretofore
the department. of agriculture, under
direction of Commissioner Gilbreath,
has each year carefully selected an
extensive exhibit of the states in
dustries and resources. This exhib-
it has been displayed at industrial
shows and state fairs in all parts of
the country. While the results of
these yearly exhibits abroad have
been highly satisfactory. Mr.. Gil
breath conceived the idea of holding
an industrial show in North Dakota.
in an endeavor to have an absolutely
complete display and exhibit of all
resources industrial and otherwise
of the state, SO that the outside
world may have an opportunity to
see and know why North Dakota has
developed into one of the greatest
agricultural states in the Union.
In order that the reader may
CLEAN some idea of the size and scope
of this exposition, attention is di-
rected to the fact that more than
$50, 900 will be expended in premiums
and the general expense of conduct
ing the exposition. Every branch
of the farming industry will be rec
ognized and every resource of the
state will be portrayed. In addition
to the extensive exhibits, there will
be demonstration of the very latest
improved machinery; there will be
interesting and instructive lectures
and several days of farm institute
work; there will be wide range
of entertainment for the visitors at
the exposition building, and, in adj
dition to this, the city of Bismarck,
through its commercial club, is pre-
pairing to entertain extensively dur
ing the entire twenty days of the
exposition. A great white way of
electrical illumination will be in
stalled; and there will be civic and
industrial parades, free street acts
and carnival features. ball games,
automobile races and minor spol Is.
The railroads of the state. realiz-
ing the benefits to be derived from
an exposition such as is planned
for North Dakoa, have offered to
transport free of charge all exhib-
its and premiums. and will do much
toward giving publicity to the event
and making the exposition a success.
Leading manufacturers. wholesalers
and jobbers of the Northwest have
been liberal indeed in premium do
nations. In addition to the vast ar
ray of manufactured articles and
machinery which will be given away
to the successful exhibitors, hun
dreds of dollars of casl premiums
will be awarded.
1t is up to the people of North
Dakota as a whole to cooperate in
making this exposition the biggest
show along industrial lines ever at
tempted in the Northwest.
1t is the first big show of its kind
ever held in the state. and its sue
cess is assured.
Every county should have COM
plete display of its resources and in
dustries. Business men and COM
mercial bodies are urged to take an
interest in the coming exposition
and see that their local district is
represented with a good exhibit.
This exhibition will do much to i'm
prove land values, to advance the in
dustrial and agricultural conditions
OF North Dakota and to stimulate
state pride. Every good citizen
should make it a point to boost for
the exposition: September 26th to
October 10Th.
