The title " International ' will not have been given to this exhibition without cause, for, being held in the closest proximity to Hamburg, the chief commercial town of the Continent, manufacturers will undoubtedly exhibit on a large scale, in order to draw the attention of Hamburg export houses to the adaptability of their wares for shipment to all parts of the world. His Excellency the Minister of State, von Botticher, has consented to act as president of this International Exhibition.
