MiShawaka, in his address at the

pressed the attitude Of South

success. Ii was not
held as a money-making propo-

of bringing South Bend indus

the citizens of South Bend to a
better understanding of one an

What 1t Taught.
The exposition taught South
Blenders that they are citizens
of no mean city" 1t will teach
the world that there is one CITY,
at least, that is not only famous
in the world at large, but also
among its own citizens.

old saying. 1t has been a mat
ter of general information that
South Bend has many factories
and that many different kinds of
products are made here. But this
information of vague knowledge
was a matter Of hearsay to many.
