Why I mention this is, that at the last Exhibition several Exhibi- 
tors of rubber utensils, knives, seeds, also engineering firms had their 
goods shown free on the Government space when their pi oper place 
was in the commercial section where they would pay for space in the 
ordinary way, I am sure you will as all other Government Repre- 
sentatives have done, agree though I do not expect any one over there 
will try but just mention the matter in case. This of course does not 
apply to raw rubber, or other products, but ordinary commercial 
exhibits. 
Yours truly,

Manager.

Dear Sir, — A s you are aware, the second International Rubber 
and Allied Trades Exhibition will be held in London, during June 
next 
As it is essential that this Peninsula should make an imposing 
Show, a commanding position has already been booked and the co- 
operation of the S. S. and F. M. S. Governments has likewise been 
secured. 
We feel sure you will agree with us, that it will be most desirable 
to concentrate the energies of everybody connected with the Rubber 
Industry in this Peninsula, on getting up one really representative 
stand rather than have a multitude of disjointed exhibits serving 
merely private ends. 
It is, therefore, proposed to ask all our producing estates to send 
samples of not less than 25 lbs. each to this office at a date not later 
than April 2nd, 1911, when a select Committee will judge at a pre- 
liminary local Show all these exhibits and choose from amongst them 
such as they will consider best suited to advertise the quality of the 
various grades of rubber produced in this country. 
In addition a large model is being got up, showing part of an 
estate, model coolie lines, machinery and drying sheds, assistant’s 
bungalow, etc. 
We merely give you a sketch of what we are doing, for your 
information, and will supplement this from time to time. 
In the meantime we should be very glad if we could count on your 
co-operation in this matter, by recommending to your members, to 
give 11s their support, both by sending us samples of their rubber, as 
aforesaid, and by contributing to the expenses of the whole undertak- 
ing.
