Trade Exhibition. 



From rej.orts received, it would seein 

 th.it a few pro.speet ive i\hiliitor> in tin 

 trade exhiliition have the idea th.at all 



the space in tl xhiliitinn h.i> been 



-old. This is not the ease. The tlo<ir ol 

 till' exhibition buiblin;; is -o l.'ii<| out 

 'hat there is a lari^e o\,il >|i:i(e in the 



ei'nter, with arc:ide> at tl ast and 



West. The sjiine in the o\al is, as has 

 been announced, all reserved, but there 

 are sever.'il eood locations still to lie 



h;i<l in the arcades, noni' of them at :i, 

 disadvantaj^e in comparison with the 

 other locations. Prospective exliibitors, 

 therefore, are uryed to send in their aj)- 

 ])lications for s|i;(ce without delay, and 

 m.ay rest assured tluit with promptness 

 on tludr part they will be accommodated 

 with reservations. 



.\ll exhibitors .are advised tliat ;iny 

 decorative material, coverings, etc., 

 used on their exhibits must be fire- 

 ]iroofed. This is not ;i retridation of 

 the society, but of the tire department 

 of K.ansas City. Tn<leed, it is a require- 

 ment in all cities of the first tdass. Ex 

 liibitors who carry sucdi material with 

 their exhibitions would find it .advisable 

 to h.ix'e tlo' tirejirooliiij; done before 

 shi|inieut, thus .'ixdidint: mmdi trouble
