EXPOSITION in
MINNEAPOLIS-.l9I2

Minneapolis, MINI. Feb. 5.-Seven
states have again combined to hold q
great exposition to show the products
of their soil, mines. lakes, rivers, for
ests and factories after the haryests
are over and the state and county
fairs have made the collection OF the
finest products in the world availa-
BILE.
The Northwest Products exposition.
Is 1t will be called, will be held In
Minneapolis, Nov. 1928. The seven
states which will participate are Min
nesota, North and South Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
To make this exposition possible the
business men Of Minneapolis will erect
a building of solid steel, brick and
concrete with a great exposition
floor $50 x 125-as large as Madison
Square Garden, New York city.
At a cost OF $4,000 the Civic and
Commerce association Of Minneapolis
and the st. Paul Association of Com
merce have bought space from the
Northwest Development league for the
seven states where their official exhib-
its will be installed.
The Northwest Products exposition
will be almost twice as large in extent
as the land show held in st. Paul and
it Is the hope OF the officers Of the
Northwest Development league that II
will be a better exposition in every
way as they have almost ten full
months to prepare for 1t whereas they
had but a little more than three
months to organize the st. Paul show
THE products exposition can only
be likened to a miniature worlds fair,'
said President Penwell in speaking Of
the outlook. The northwest states
have learned the exhibit business and
have learned that it is necessary tc
advertise in a very graphic way to at
tract settlers who would otherwise Sd
to Canada or the southwest"
