for 11 out of 12 great expositions
held without her boundaries. At the
Century of Progress she created an
exhibition in that fair’s Hall of
States.
New York’s 1939 Fair, according
to estimates, will represent an ex-
penditure of $125,000,000 or more.
The exposition is already well along
in the construction period. Thirty-
seven nations have already signified
intentions of participating, and more
than a score of state legislatures are
considering bills providing for < 6-
operative part in the nation’s inter-
national fair of 1930.

NEW YORK (Special)—For the
first time since the Crystal Palace
Exposition of 1853, New York State
and City are hosts to the remainder
of the world in a genuinely inter-
national fair. The accompanying
reproduction of a fine lithograph,
published 84 years ago, shows in a
wealth of detail the englassed Palace
dedicated at that time to “the Exhi-
bition of" the Industry of all Na-
tions.” The site of the exposition,
then known as “Reservoir Square,”
is to-day Bryant Park and the loca-
tion of the Public Library, at Fifth
- -,-fe
Z- ' '
Avenue and 42nd Street. In 1853
that was “way out in the country.”
To-day it is mid-town Manhattan,
and about 20 minutes rapid-transit
time from the 1216j4-acre site of
the New York World’s Fair of
1939. I
In the years since her own out-
standing exposition, New York has
been a prominent participant in the
13 major expositions held in the
United States—State legislative ap-
propriations alone amounting to
$2,730,000 in behalf of “creditable
appearance” at such fairs. The Em-
pire State erected her own building

A Great Deal When You Are
Perhaps Romeo's name made no difference to Juliet, to whom
love was all.
But a well-known name on a piece of merchandise means a
great deal. It means that the maker is willing to stand behind,
to guarantee, his product. It means that you need not take a
chance with unknown, unadvertised goods; that you can buy
with confidence.
The largest selling coffee in Texas carries the name ADMIRA-
TION. With its twin, BRIGHT & EARLY, it is found on the
shelves of almost every grocery in the State. Both are guar-
anteed as to goodness, freshness, and uniformity by their
roaster, the Duncan Coffee Company.
Try one of these two fine coffees today. If your preference is a
rich, winey coffee, you’ll like Admiration. If you prefer a
milder blend, at a few cents less per pound, try Bright &
Early. They are both always roaster-fresh.
