Excerpt from Hand Book of Ready Reference: Louisiana Purchase Exposition, World's Fair, St. Louis, 1904; Containing Valuable Information as to the Cost of Visiting the World's Fair; How to Go, Where to Stop, What to See and How to See It; With Useful Suggestions, Hints and Warnings Regarding Same There are many and manifold books, of all classes and kinds of literature, published about the World's Fair by the most competent writ ers, but all tell most beautifully and elaborately of the wonders and beauties to be seen there, while they do not give the information needed by the man of limited means, who wants to know how to get there for the least money, and where he can find respectable accommodation for self and wife, or family, at such reasonable costs as to come within the scope of his finances. The object of this bit of free literature will be to give just such information to that class of our people, so that before leaving home they can sit down and discuss the feasibility of the trip with the family, and then and there figure the cost so approximately as to 'know just about what the expense of the trip and a stay of two weeks or a month will be. Being able to do this will satisfy many, 5who shrink from the ex pense, that they are able to take advantage of this great school of world-wide information for themselves and families.
