A letter is found in a bottle at the Point, advertising the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901.
Found in a Bottle.
The following letter was picked up from the beach near the L. S. S. on Nov. 3rd, inst. by patrolman Wm. Hugell. It is an unique way of advertising the big exposition to be held at Buffalo in 1901. The bottle was dropped overboard from the steamer North West during the Buffalo Merchants Exchange Excursion from Buffalo to Duluth.
On board the Steamship North West. To the finder:--The Pan-American exposition is to be held at Buffalo, N. Y., from May 1st to Oct. 31st, 1901. Its chief purpose will be to show the commercial progress of the republics of the western hemisphere. It will be larger and more beautiful than the World's Fair or Paris exposition, and no one can afford to miss it. From May 1st to Oct. 31st, 1901 all roads lead to Buffalo. Ask to be dropped off there.
It may be to your advantage to send this note to the Pan American Exposition company at Buffalo, N. Y., with a report of the circumstances of your finding it. Also please notify the newspapers of your town and city.
