The Fair aims to be universal, to have something for everyone.
What is i t you want? Vast forces dormant in nuggets of impris-
oned sunl ight? Machines tha t f ly , th ink, t ransport , fashion and
do man'S work? SpiCeS, perfumes, ivory, apes and peacocks?
Dead Sea Scrol ls? Images d iv ine and graven? Painted l i l ies and
ref ined gold? The products of phi losophy, which is the guide
of l i fe, and knowledge, which is power? We have them al l .
Study the Fair. Come often. When you get here, don't rush. Be
wise. Space your visi ts; save your arches, spare your muscles,
use your head; patronize buses, rol l ing stock, r ides, ramps and
