They are unanimous in declaring that
no previous exposition has ever ap-
preached so near the pinacle of in
structive interest as this.
This year the displays are greater
and more modern. Many develop

essities of the great war will be
shown for the first time. These will
be demonstrated and lectured upon
by expert mechanical, production and
efficiency engineers whose skill and
knowledge bring them higher salaries
than many bank presidents.
