A PERMANENT SAMPLES EXHIBITION AT LYONS. FRANCE. 



The Lyons Fair Committee has decided to create a permanent 

 Samples Exhibition at Lyons, combined with a Commercial En- 

 quiry Office, in connection with the annual Fair. This permanent 

 exhibition will consist of samples shown at the annual Fair and 

 deposited by the exhibitor till the ne.xt Fair, when he can either 

 replace the samples by others or leave them on view. It is hoped 

 eventually to get together a large collection of samples, constitut- 

 ing a permanent industrial exhibition of great value. In order 

 that no time may be lost in putting this scheme into execution, 

 exhibitors at the 1917 Fair are being invited to support it at once. 



THE BORDEAUX FAIR, 1917. 



The second Bordeaux Commercial Fair will be held from 

 September 1 to IS, 1917. It will be mainly a French Colonial Fair, 

 but exhibits from allied and neutral countries will also be re- 

 ceived. Applications for space should be addressed to L'Admi- 

 nistration de la Foire dc Bordeaux, Hotel de Ville, Bordeaux, 

 France.
