alexander developed a vision of making israel an industrial powerhouse. he began to organize local industrial exhibitions in 1923 and 1924, which later were expanded into an international fairs, the 1928 and 1934 "levant fairs" (or orient fair). the symbol of the fairs was the flying camel, envisioned by ezer and designed by the architect arie elchanani. these fairs grew rapidly: in the levant fair of 1934, 820 international companies were represented and 600,000 people from around the world came to see the public exhibitions. at the time, tel aviv was only populated by about 35,000 people. to accommodate the fair, alexander and meir dizengoff (the first mayor of tel aviv) established the company "mischar ve taasia" (trade and industry publishing and exhibition co.), which purchased land north of tel aviv to develop the fair grounds. they also published a bi-weekly magazine, "mischar ve taasia", starting in 1925, with ezer serving as its editor. in 1927, ezer published "palestine from the air", one of the first aerial photography ever taken in this region. unfortunately, an arab upheaval erupted in 1939, which made tel aviv a dangerous place for an international fair to be held. as a result, the levant fairs had to be canceled and instead alexander organized the middle-east pavilion of the 1939 world fair held in new york city.
