THE annual Paris International Trade Fair will be held from May 16 to June 2. Buyers from all countries visit this exhibition, as it offers such a complete display of the products md the latest inventions from all over the world.

Since its inception in 1904, the Paris Inter national Trade Fair has grown to huge dimensions, and this year is expected to be greater than ever owing to the improved conditions in industry generally. A representative display from more than 30 countries is expected, and the number of visitors should exceed the previous record of over 2,000,000.

Coinciding with the “High Season” in Paris, the International Trade Fair has become an event of social importance, for at this time of the year the “City of Light” is at its gayest.

The Trade Commissioner for France advises that he is able to supply all particulars regarding transport concessions and ticket discounts, and intending visitors should communicate with him.
