ERECT NEW STRUCTURE.
Manufacturers and Merchants D?
mand Larger Exhibit Space.
Leading manufacturers and mer
chants of New Orleans, as well as a
number of others having a national
distribution for their goods, will bs
represented by comprehensive exhib
its at the National Farm and Live
Stock Show in that city, Nov. 10-19.
At the initial show, in 1916, a large ;
building provided for the purpose was j
found to be insufficient to meet the j
demands of such exhibitors, and this '
year another big structure has been
erected.
The outlook is that every foot of ;
space in the two buildings will be oc- |
cupied during ttie 1917 fair by the dis- ;
plays of enterprising manufacturers
and merchants, ready to greet their
friends from the outlying districts.
The Merchants and Manufacturers’
Bureau of the New Orleans Associa
tion of Commerce has appointed a
committee which will make a number
of attractive awards for the best ex
hibits.
