CROWDS At SHOW
ARE SECURED
Travellers and Settlers to Be
Drawn to Big Exhibits Of
Products Of Colorado,

Realizing that one Of the most I'M
portant features in connection with
the coming Colorado Industrial Ex-
position to be held IN New York in
November is the question of securing
attendance. especially OF those psr-
sons who are most interested in this
state, K. II Sexton, executive mana
ger of the Exposition has issued
statement to the directors in which
these plans are fully set forth. In
this statement Sexton elbows some OF
the methods to be followed. These
are in brief as follows.
The Colorado Industrial EXposi-
tion is to be conducted for the pur-
pose OF showing 10 the desirable
class OF people, those who would
make good citizens, the resources Of
the State of Colorado, in q business
like manner. 1t is proposed to take
the wares Of the state to New York
city, and open a store for a period of
one month, and there to place on eN-
hlbition the states goods, by apply
ing methods now in vogue BY the
large successful mercantile and man-
ufacturing concerns OF the country,
who send their representative TO a
city with baggage car full of
trunks containing samples which he
displays in a sample-rOom in one of
the principal hotels, then goes out to
get in touch with the people he wish
es to see, brings them to the sample
room, and shows his goods In other
words, each one of the six divisions
of the Colorado Industrial Exposition
under the direction of its active
working committee, have outlined
plans as follows:
The Fruit Committee will make
u wonderful display of the products
OF the orchards OF Colorado. Not on
~ Will attractive displays be made of
the choicest apples and other fruits,
but this fruit will be sampled to the
public. and served in an apple kitch-
en- Ms well. and direct selling cam
paign inaugurated. 1t Is proposed by
this committee to place in the hands
of all the cimmission merchants, the
store-keepers. the fruit sellers, the
hotel men, the commissary depart
ments of steamship and railway
lines, for the distribution to their
employees and friends, to enable them
to visit the Colorado Exposition.
quantities of tickets, the intrinsic
value Of whicn is 25 cents each, but

Special days, known as apple days,
will be assigned, at which time i'm
portant functions will be held, and
people interested in fruit growing or
selling, will be shown the superior
quality of the Colorado product.
The Mining Committee is provid-
ing a magnificent gold exhibit, and
the most attractive radium exhibit
the world has ever seen, has already
been arranged for. The Committee
will send cut tickets in the same
manner as above, to bankers, brokers,
and capitalists. providing all of these
houses with quantities of tickets for
their employees and customers.
with reference to the Scenic and
Tour Section which has for Its pur-
pose the turning OF the tide OF travel
westward, the plan of the cimmittee
is to provide tickets to the 225,00
ransient people who register daily in
the New York hotels. At the Travel
Show held in New York, tickets bear
ing key numbers we're distributed in
this manner among the hotels, and 1t
was found that over 10 per cent of
the people who were so favored, at
tended the EXposition.'
