2. Exhibits at the Cambridge Meeting.
- Subjects
GEOGRAPHERS ,EXHIBITIONS ,GEOGRAPHY ,ANNUAL meetings ,SOCIETIES - Abstract
Displays illustrating papers and graphic expositions not correlated with sessions have become an integral part of annual meetings of the Association of American Geographers. Exhibits at Cambridge, Massachusetts accented physical geography rather more and human geography rather less than has been the case in recent preceding years. In a number of cases comparable maps of physical and human phenomena were displayed side by side. This appears to indicate a pronounced interest in regional correspondence of phenomena.

MARKETING ,EXHIBITIONS ,TRADE shows ,RETAIL industry ,SALES promotion ,MARKETING laws ,COMMERCIAL policy ,TRADE regulation ,COMMERCIAL law - Abstract
The commercial exhibit is a facilitating marketing agency in which there is a periodic display of goods by competing sellers under one roof, or within close proximity, in order to promote the sale of goods to a concentration of buyers. There are two classes of commercial exhibits in the United States: the trade fair whose sole or primary purpose is to facilitate the completion of trade negotiations and the exposition whose sole or primary purpose is to facilitate the advertising of commodities. Expositions may be further sub-divided into those directed to the general public and those of a purely industrial nature. The commercial exhibit assists in the performance of three marketing functions: buying, selling, and the provision of market information. The report that follows seeks first to describe the commercial exhibit by showing some of its institutional aspects, the extent of the activity and its organization. Second, the nature and effectiveness of private and public controls are discussed. Finally, several economic implications are isolated and appraised. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RURAL sociology ,AMERICAN art ,LABOR ,AGRICULTURE ,EXHIBITIONS - Abstract
The article presents information on the rural life and rural art in the U.S. In the U.S., the land-worker has slowly struggled to produce a machine to bear the dour brunt of labor, struggled to live like other men, surrounded by institutions which should bring the world to his doorstep, that is, bring to his very threshold the commodities, skills, wisdoms, and riches which men desire with longing, just such desirable things as men who work in the most highly favored occupations have. As the college of agriculture is the intellectual center of the new agriculture in each state, so is it the potential center of American rural art. The college of agriculture is rapidly expanding. The schools of art are entrances into American art circles. Certainly it is possible for these schools to give chance for a voice, even though it be at first an alien voice so far as art is concerned to plead. It is by no means a chimera to look forward to a national conference and exhibition, too, of new rural art. This way trod rural education, rural religion, rural recreation.

12. FEDERAL PARTICIPATION IN TWO WORLD'S FAIRS.

Gutheim, Frederick A.

EXHIBITIONS ,TRADE shows ,LITERATURE ,FEDERAL government ,POLITICAL science - Abstract
The article reports that considering the enormous attendances and the admitted cultural and propagandist influence of international expositions, the analytical literature on this subject has been astonishingly slim. This is even more true of literature dealing explicitly with the role of the U.S. government in such expositions, although more than $40,000,000 has been spent in such undertakings in the course of Federal participation in world's fairs. Even the simplest observation of the behavior of exposition visitors, or the most rudimentary measurements of the influence of exhibits or expositions is lacking. All things considered, there is probably no channel of propaganda, where the volume is so large, that has attracted so little serious research, and no comparable field in which operators act less in the light of scientific knowledge. Under these circumstances it is hardly surprising that the Federal government, along with many other exhibitors, commercial and governmental, are able to show relatively little in the way of tangible results for large expenditures of money.

When the New York World's Fair of 1939 was first plotted few persons realized that a trend in the national life would carry this exposition far beyond the scope of anything like it attempted before. The fair offered an ideal opportunity for business to seek a way out of the dire straits into which it has been precipitated in the last few years. Other fairs have been chiefly concerned with selling products, this one will be chiefly concerned with selling ideas. When plans for the New York fair were first laid, most people had the Chicago Century of Progress in their minds and to industry, the backbone of any fair, the New York exposition was viewed in terms of exhibits and budgets akin to those of the Century of Progress. Soon it became apparent, however, that this New York fair would offer a great and timely opportunity for business men to deal in the commodity of goodwill. The channels through which the fair itself hopes to mould public opinion are, publicity, promotion, radio, speakers and research.
