c. NJ. Schenk, formerly president Of
the Colorado Supply company and O
wealthy and prominent resident OF
Denver, said: Il am always INTEREST,"
ed in New Mexico and take a personal
pride in the exhibits here IL was the
Colorado supply company which in
troduced the New Mexico or Santa Fe
style Of architecture in Colorado
The store building at Morley resent
bles the New Mexico building at San
Diego very closely and it was | who
gave Colonel Twitchel the figures
which convinced him that this mag
nficent state building could be con-
structed well within the sum appro- !
priated by the legislature. He con- !
tinued: New MeXico's idea in pre- |
senting her resources in attractive lee |
lures and pictures is among the latest |
of ideas In publicity. The lectures
and pictures, in fact, the entire dis |
play is revelation to people who |
suppose that New Mexico is nothing |
but a land Of sand. cactus and In |
dams. | consider the men in charge |
of the New Mexico building real live |
wires"
w. p. Butler, of Roswell formerly !
of Minneapolis, said 81 came TO San
Diego prejudiced against the EXPOSE
ton and the New Mexico display. My
prejudice was based upon statements
made in Roswell, | came out to in
vestigate and ! am more than pleased,
in fact, | am highly gratified with
what have seen and | feel certain
that these objections and accusations
were made entirely in ignorance, for
the people at home do not realize
what a wonderful display New Mex
leo has made at San Diego. The Pc
COS valley. Roswell and the immediate
vicinity are represented in very
and satisfactory way. The
splendid pictures and lectures viii do
"a great deal more good and are more
in keeping with the perfect building
than a lot Of pumpkins, shocks Of
corn. grain, etc, thrown promiscu-
Ously about the building return
home an enthusiastic booster for every
thing that New Mexico has done at
san Diego. The board of exposition
managers have kept their word with II
the people and are delivering the +!
goods in a way that will bring an UNI
Told world of good to all parts of the
Sunshine state"
