WORLDS EXHIBIT
N NEWARK, 1920?

S. NJ. White, Of 81 Thirteenth avenue,
| writes to the Evening Star suggesting a
worlds exposition for Newark In 1920.
Mr.. White points out the great advan-
tages and opportunities of Newark, and
says that such an exposition would
double the population and increase the
capacity of all the busInetss houses, ac.
quaihtfng the world with the city and it's
enterprises
Mr.. White also makes the point that
Newark should win the trade of the en-
tire South and Southwest. He con-
tinues:
Newark is cosmopolitan. progressive and
an enterprising city. I do not believe
there is q city more inviting, especi-
ally to men and women of wealth, as a
place of residence.
The Industrial exposition has command
ed the admiration of all who visited II,
and is a credit to the business men.
Enterprises of this kind mean progress.
The newspapers do more for a business
community thar any other agency. They
tell the world what Newark is doing. and
also advise the people to do their trading
IHtIt. II ht N9idBClB VI NtMalh L
ably edited and are the finest journalistic
productions of any city in the country
whose population does not exceed that of
Newark.
The South, East, West and North
must be made to know of Newark's
facilities. Having lived In Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee, and Travelled
through North and South Carolina. Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. !
have noted with interest the people and
business conditions In the Southeast.
The Southeastern States 40 not manu-
facture many articles that are required
In everyday use. Nearly all the manu-
featured articles of consumption are i'm
ported, for example, clothing. shoes and
other wearing apparel, and hardware,
glassware. etc.
II the proposed exposition is held, or
ders will come here In such quantities
that the manufacturing establishments
will N il necessary to increase their
facilities for output. The millions Of
money sent elsewhere by the Southern
people ought to be spent here, because
the purchasers would get more for their
money inc as good quality as any other
furnishes. BY 10Th land and water
Newark can send to the South all
ufactures the people there want.
The fact that II is the first big manu-
featuring city one enters On leaving the
South, and that 1t makes everything that
the South doesn't make, and must have,
is worthy OF note. The Southern people
will spend their money in Newark rather
than other places when they are shown
what Newark can do and that Newark
knows how Taking all the territory be-
tween Newark and the Gulf OF Mexico,
and the Atlantic ocean and the Missls-
sippi river, Newark should and will be
the central supply house for 1t, and this
territory Is about a thousand miles from
north to south and the same distance
east and west. -
And the contemplated exposition viii
mean still greater things for Newark.
IT should be superior to any yet held in
his country. The Stars advice recently
for everybody to boost Newark was
rood, and every person in Newark should
follow this advice. So every day do
something for Greater Newark Think
II. talk II. write 1t, and the efforts of all
in unisop will eliminate in a blaze Of
glory in 1920.
