entered will occupy street space of
more than quarter of mile, and

will have an outstanding exhibit,
certainly half a mile in length. The

to facilitate the work of the COM

plan to make exhibits, to notify the
chamber of commerce at once so
that spaces may be assigned to
them. Applications are being han
died in the order received, and those
who register earliest secure the best
spaces.
Many merchants have ordered
special merchandising items for this
event and material to be used in
their window displays, and construc-
ton of floats, exhibits, etc, is going
on in various back rooms through
out the city, all assuring an out
standing day on the occasion of Ell
