Floor Of Gimbels, Pittsburgh;
Sun Deck Also To Be Used
PLANS BEING EXPANDED

Promising to smash all records for
the number of participants and atten-
dance this year, plans for the Sixth
Annual Allegheny Tableland Fair
have been radically expanded to offer
the greatest show in its history. New
quarters have been obtained including
the new 18th floor Auditorium of Gin
bells, and also the Sun Deck which will
allow outdoor exhibits for the first
time. New competitions have been
added.
The Fair will be staged, as in form
er years, at Gimbels Department
Store in Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle,
through October 20, 81, % and %.
Prizes will be awarded to best exhib-
its entered from the Tableland, and
the number of contests will be large
and varied.
A new competition of great inter
est to poultry raisers of the Tri-State
area will be added this year. SIS, So,
and So prizes will be offered in each of
six classes including turkeys and
Chickens Likewise, this year the
world famous strain of Goldbank
Giant Bronze Turkeys and Partridge
Plymouth Rock fowl will be exhibited
again from the world champion strain
of Bird Brothers, Meyersdale, Pa.
Many All Prizes
And for the All boys and girls of
the Tableland, there will be a new
prize competition for hobby exhibits,
twenty classifcations and forty prizes.
Winning stamp and coin collections,
craft exhibits, photography, and many
other interesting hobbies will earn
their owners a well-deserved reward.
Included among the exhibits will be
several especially secured by conces-
sion from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Many other in
structive exhibits will be set up by
county and state agencies. All are
being constructed by display men
from the designs of agricultural ex-
perts.
Gimbels has already numerous en-
try blanks from all over the Table
land. AS in other years, many en-
trants are in two or more groups With
samples representative of their
ability.
Women Are Noted
No women in America, it is said, are
as noted for the goodness of their
jellies and candied fruit as the women
right here in the Tableland. Each year
more and more women are entering
the choice items from their kitchens,
for both the prizes and the hundreds
of prospective customers they gain
through exhibiting in the Fair.
This is true in the case of almost
every other exhibit-the Fair has es-
tablished such a reputation that it is
generally conceded to be the greatest
opportunity known for people of the
Tableland to get their products be-
fore the Pittsburgh buying public.
There is absolutely no charge for
making entries. Pack the exhibits
carefully, deliver them to point
which will be designated when the
entry list has been received at Gin
bells, and that's all there is to do.
Trucks will drive out from Pittsburgh
to pick up the exhibits, and will de-
liver them at the store.
Experience in past years show the
value of having potato raisers, egg
dealers, apple growers, or anyone
with farm produce ready for the mar
ket to be on the spot, ready to take
orders. An extraordinary number of
people view the Fair, as Gimbels is
located in one of Pittsburgh's most
central traffic points.
Tableland merchandise will find a
wide open market in Pittsburgh as it
is only given the opportunity of dis
play. The Tableland Fair offers this
opportunity as every entrant will soon
find.
