EXHIBIT OF MACHINERY.
Record-Breaking Display will be
at the State Fair.

The machinery and farm imple-
ment exhibit at the Tennessee
State Fair this fall is going to be
the greatest aud most interesting
that has ever been held at any fair
south of the Ohio River. All of
the available space at the State
Fair grounds will be utilized and
the manufacturers are reporting
greater interest in this department
than ever before.
From handful of exhibits five
years ago, the machinery and farm
implement department has grown
until last year it required about
ten acres to install the big display.
It is doubtful if this department
has ever grown at any State Fair
in the country as it has at the Ten
nessee State Fair.
Applications for space have al
ready been received by Superin-
tendent T. s. Miles from Michigan,
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, New York,
Pennsylvania, Missouri and Ken
lucky. Speaking of the machinery
display at the fair last year, Super
intendent Miles, who travels con-
siderably over the different States
says: at was the consensus OF
opinion everywhere l went that
the machinery and farm implement
exhibit at the Tennessee State Fail
in September, 1910, was the finest
and best ever seen in the entire
South"
This year the exhibit will be
larger and better in every way
Superintendent Miles is one OF
those olive wires" that does things
and he is determined to make this
department of the Tennessee State
Fair second to none in the country
It will be impossible to mention II
detail the various exhibits tina
will be seen at the State Fair thu
fall. Suffice is to say, that there
will be no implement that Will 81
If interest to the farmer that vii

The exhibit will be of great valu'
to both the manufacturer and tn
farmer. Every machine will be II

There is no better way to sho'
and demonstrate farm machlner
than at the State Fair, where ever
convenience is arranged to sho'
the various machines in the bef
noss;b]e manner. A great man
new devices will be shown, an
this department will certainly ad
GREAT interest to the State Fair.
