There was mucli discussion as to 



whether it would be advisable to hold the 



next annual exposition in Council Bluffs 



or in one of the other cities which were 

 bidding for it. The general expression 

 of the exhibitors was that more courteous 

 treatment could not have been accorded 

 them than was received this year at the 

 hands of the Council Bluffs people, but 

 some of them thought that a change of 

 location would be an advantage from an 

 advertising standpoint. The location of 

 the next exposition was left to the execu- 

 tive committee, and it is probable that 

 if a change is made, the show will go to 

 Saint Joseph, Missouri. Wherever it is 

 held the officers of the next show will 

 have a difficult task to equal the success 

 of the past year.
