Dear Sirs,
The Organising Committee asks me to convey their
grateful thanks to Exhibitors who replied to their circular
letter of 20th June inviting comments upon the Empire Fair held
in May last, and opinions as to the desirability or otherwise
of repeating the Fair.
As replies have now been received from practically all
the principal Exhibitors, I have pleasure in communicating to
all concerned a summary of the views expressed.
The circular was addressed to approximately 100
29 replies have been received.
Exhibitors.
QUESTION
As to the Benefits derived from the Fair:
فيا
Five firms say that, while they cannot trace any definite
business results to the Fair, they consider it did good from
the point of view of publicity for their own or for Ampire
goods.
Ten fires say they consider the Fair was "beneficial"
from a business point of view, but only three (two general
agents and one motor car factor) definitely ascribe actual
sales to the Fair. One motor car factor informed me verbally
"It is stated in the town that we sold 12 cars at the Fair:
as a matter of fact, we did not sell any.
