Great St Louis Fair Postponed to 1908 for Better Exhibits
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, planned for St Louis in 1903, is postponed a year to 1908 to allow time to secure elaborate foreign exhibits. Governor Francis and Adolph Busch cited a forthcoming Japanese fair in 1908 and steps to appoint foreign agents through the state department. Prince Henry was invited via the German embassy to visit St Louis, but no reply by noon.
