NORTH DAKOTA INDUSTRIAL
EXPOSITION, BISMARCK.
The Object.

me Voject.
For twenty-0ne years North Dakota
has been a liberal patron of state and
national expOsitons, and for the past
six years has sent samples of her
products to large number of fairs
held In other states. During most of
these years she has been blessed with
excellent crops, her people have in
creased and prospered. Eleven years
ago the population of this state was
319,146, while the census of 1910
shows that her inhabitants number
577,O56, or an increase of 80.8 per
cent in ten years. The same ratio of
increase in the next ten years will
place the population of North Dakota
beyond the million mark. With such
a marked growth in numerical
strength, wonderful development of
NATURAL resources, remarkable prog
ress in agricultural production, con-
slant increase in railroad facilities,
establishment of new lines of trans
portation, golden opportunities for
business enterprises in the new
towns and villages that are constant
ly springing into existence, achieve
ments in mineral researches, phenom-
email advancement in agricultural
wealth and prosperity of the people,
is not North Dakota justified in hold
ing great industrial exposition,
where these evidences can be ad-
vantageously displayed, and the visit
ing farmer, business and professional
man can have a panoramic view of
all these things placed before him in
an attractive and comprehensive
manner.
