ROYAL NETHERLANDS INDUSTRIES FAIR
The Springfair 1937 was the first fair since the crisis to show a distinct tendency towards improved economical conditions noticeable in this country! There was an im portant increase in participants to such an extent that the available space proved insuficient and many applicants had to be turned down. The Springfair 1937 had 1779 parti- cipants as compared with 1645 dur- ing the Springfair 1936 and thus actually was the largest Fair ever held in the Netherlands.
