A COUNTY
F AIR EXHIBIT

In accordance with the action taxi
en- at meeting Monday evening by
the board of directors OF the Douglas
Chamber of Commerce and Mines,
representatives Of the organization
are now rapidly completing plans
for an attractive exhibit to be IN
stalled for the Cochise county fair
A space 8 feet by "a feet, extend
ing from aisle to aisle, has been
arranged for by the chamber and it
is planned to install an exhibit which
will be of equal interest to the resi-
dents of Cochise county and the many
tourists who will attend the fair
H. A. Wimberley, NJ. j. Anderson
end Marvin Irwin were appointed to
serve as the committee in charge of
the exhibit a large number of the
some definite plans in mind. Irwin,
who recently procured the largest
collection of oil colored photographs
of Arizona scenes to be found any
where in the state will contribute to
the exhibit a large numbtr OF the
pictures representing well known
scenic spots in Cochise county.
1t is also considered likely tha.
an attractive minerals exhibit will
be prepared. In the chamber OF
commerce booth will also be included
desk space for the convenience of
press representatives and others in,
terested in gathering information o..
the fair.
After careful consideration, direc~
tors of the local chamber decided to
change the plan recently announced
by means of which it was intended
to prepare a collection of Cochise
county grown fruits and vegetables
which were to be preserved in theft
natural state for exhibition at the
fair, to be later removed to the
chamber of commerce as perman-
ent exhibit.
Due to the mass Of work which
the county fair, the national advef
tising campaign and other matters
new pending involve, officials of the
chamber did not feel that sufficient
time could be given to the prepara,
tion of the intended exhibit.
1t is now the intention OF the
chamber of commerce to request thai
exhibitors who win awards ror prize
fruits and vegetables in their own
exhibits donate specimens from theii
exhibits to the chamber at the close
of the fair. Arrangements will be
made to preserve the specimens inn
mediately after the fair closes ana
it is felt that through such an arr
rangement much more attractive
permanent exhibit can be procurca
for the chamber OF commerce. Tho
arrangement would also be of benefit,
to the exhibitors, as their prize VIM
ming products will be on permanent
exhibition.
