IMPORTANT NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS.

a most important business character. They are being organised for the benefit of 
trade and commerce, and will prove of particular value, as so many interested in these 
great agricultural industries, whether as producers, manufacturers or factors, will 
assemble from all parts of the world during the two weeks the Exhibitions will reman’ 
open. The business results will undoubtedly be as great and at a minimum cost to 
exhibitors, as if they took part at enormous expense, in a general International 
Exhibition remaining open for many months.
