LITTLE SHOW SPACE REMAINS
Brilliant Prospects for Success Of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Exposition"
at Charlotte in September.

Charlotte.-With only 5000 square
feet of show space unallOtted, 1O4
manufacturing concerns OF the Caro-
linas have arranged to have exhibits
at the Made-In-The- Carolinas EXPOSE
ton, which will be held in Charlotte
September IL to 20, inclusive, accord
ing to announcement by Joe Patten,
executive secretary. Only five Of this
number are South Carolina manufac-
turers, but the termination of cores
pondence now in progress is expected
to rapidly increase the number of e.
Establishments of the Palmetto state.
Only in rare instances will there be
more than one exhibit of any one
class of product, and Mr.. Patton ex-
pressed the opinion that practically
every kind of product manufactured in
the Carolinas will be exhibited. The
1O4 exhibits will require $4,000 of the
$4,000 square feet available for exh1-
bits in the exposition building, which
has a floor area of 10000 square feet.
This wide range of exhibits, in the
opinion of exposition officials, will
serve more effectively than any other
one means to acquaint the people OF
the Carolinas with diversity of in
dustry in the two States, as well as
impress upon them the importance of
these industries in the trade not only
of this territory but of the nation.
This exposition will bring into one
building a greater variety of Carolina
made products than any other former
event, it was pointed out.
