Will surpass Last Year
1t is the confident opinion that the
show which begins next Monday will
go away ahead of the one of last
year, for the floor space is much
| larger, and the room is well adapted
| to the. purpose. The booths have, been
| arranged SO that everything can be
seen and Manager Hibbard of the
Union Light, Heat & Power Co.,
states that the lighting will be per-
| feet. The company by the way is
furnishing the light without charge.
| There will be plenty of music on
gaily colored booths and crowd will
make an exposition that viii be sure
| to please everybody. The commit
tee having the show in charge which
is made, up of President 3, McFIose,.
Secretary Hoenck and George Rusk
of the manufacturers and Secretary
Slime. of the commercial club, has
worked hard for it's success and they
believe that all will be found in
readiness, next Monday.
Three Yst to Fill. .-.
AS will be seen by the following
list there are three booths yet to be
| taken. These are located in the win
dows of the downstairs floor. There
was an offer made by one auto COM
pany for the entire three, but the
committee could not be convinced that
the offer came from a bonafide Fargo
manufacturer and SO 1t was turned
down. Another man who handles an
other article that is partially made
here, or rather, assembled here, also
made a bid for one of the booths, but
1t was also rejected for the same rea-
son. There are several manufactur-
ing establishments that are not yet
in and a committee of the associa-
ton will call on them in the morning
and it is confidently believed that
they will all be taken by noon to-
morrow.
All Wanting In.
The association was OF the opinion
that it would not do at all tu open
the doors to outsiders, for If this
was done it would destroy the ef-
feet that the show Is desired TO pro-
duce, l. e. show the people of the
city and state just what is made here.
There were offers galore for space in
the exhibition hall from automobile
people, machine houses, ETC., but they
all had to be turned down, for this
show is one that is intended for the
Fargo manufacturers, and for them
alone. 1t Is stated that after the new
| auditorium is built that an auto show,
as well as machinery show are
