as well as the
largo and in

of tho UNITED
STATES GOV
K R N M E N T ,
which was lo
cated at tho San
Francisco Expo,
sition during
1915.
This beautiful and imposing EXPOSITION was opened on March 18th, 1916, by the
pressing of a button by PRESIDENT WILSON, in Washington, D. C. The electric spark
was conveyed to an immense gong in the Exposition grounds, and at a few seconds before
twelve, noon, the gong pealed forth the announcement that THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES had officially declared the INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION open to
t the public.
FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE were gathered in the Plaza de Panama, lo
cated in the center of the Exposition grounds, and were listening to Secretary of the In
terior FRANKLIN K. LANE, the personal representative of PRESIDENT WILSON,
when the gong pealed forth the glad tidings. A mighty shout arose; bells were clanging,
and whistles were blowing, and the deep undertone of the cannons of Fort Rosecrans and
the warships anchored in the harbor, joined in celebrating the opening of the SECOND
YEAR of SAN DIEGO'S EXPOSITION. Among the speakers were, GOVERNOR
HIRAM W. JOHNSON, of California, and COUNT DEL VALLE SALAZAR, representa
tive of THE KING OF SPAIN.
REMEMBER, this Exposition will be open until December 31, 1916, and plan yonr
trip to California so you can remain in SAN DIEGO at least two weeks, to see the EX
POSITION CITY and surrounding country. And if you wish to inquire about opportun
ities for business or investment in SAN DIEGO, the COMING CITY OF THE PACIFIC
COAST, or to see the orange groves and alf Jfa fields in our back country, call on us and

Colonel Fred Jewell, the President of this company, will be remembered by many of
the older residents of Nebraska, he having acted as Private Secretary to Governor
Poynter, of Nebraska, in 1898 and 1899. He removed to San Diego in 1900, and having
been located in San Diego during the last sixteen years, and actively engaged in the bank
ing, loaning, and real estate business, he is eminently qualified to furnish desired valuable
information relating to Southern California, the Exposition, and SAN 'DIEGO in particu
lar, and extends to all Nebraskans, and Lincolnites especially, a very cordial invitation to
call and renew acquaintances.
