 greater benefit still, would be the wider ac- quaintance of Americans with America An exhibition in London far remote but the actual dis tance is but few miles greater than the distance of San Francisco from New York For millions however, there will be competition whatever between the fairs Each in it's way symbolizes and demon strates the progress of our great nation.
