the universal department store Of 1915
shall be the best looking store that has
ever been opened to the world.
IT is costing $50. 100000 to complete.
California, chosen as manager OF the

now taking shape rapidly. Giant struc-
lures of truly massive grandeur are
being erected.
In all there are fourteen palaces OF
exhibits to be erected by the EXPOSE
ton Company in the middle section OF
the Worlds Fair. The other two sec
lions are to be occupied on the west
by pavilions Of foreign nations, of
which twenty-four have accepted the
invitation to participate, and on the
east by an aggregation of amusement
concessions which are to be of the
most novel and entertaining kind.
The fourteen main exhibit palaces
will house the displays of eleven de-
partments, which have been classified
into 1876 groups. subdivided into SOC
classes The departments consist OF
the following Fine Arts, Education
Social Economy, Liberal Arts, Manu-
features and Varied Industries, Ma

and Metallurgy.
Texas will find its particular appeal
in the palaces of Manufactures and Va

no previous Exposition has had for it
natural surroundings. California's eli

will be a garden in which the effort
of man will stand among the results o
natures own working.
America is the hostess Of the worl'

her own household is properly repre-
scented at the international "at home.
Not to be fully represented is to offe
a slight to the guests who are goini
to be there in their best clothes.
Texas has much to show She ha
much to smile for, She has much t
give, but infinitely more to receive
And she receives with no outlay what
ever.
