patent medicines, nostrums, and empirical preparations whose
ingredients are concealed, will not be admitted to the exposition. The

to order the removal of any article he may consider dangerous,
detrimental to, or incompatible with the object or decorum of the
exposition or the comfort and safety of the public.

goods in responsible companies.
ARTICLE XIV.
SECTION I. Advertisement by means of posters, prints, handbills, etc.,
will not be permitted within the exposition grounds except upon the
recommendation of the proper authorities, approved by the president of
the Exposition Company, and then to a restricted degree only.
SEC. II. Exhibitors' business cards and brief descriptive circulars only
may be conveniently placed within such exhibition space for
distribution; but the right is reserved to the chief of the department,
upon the approval of the director of exhibits, to restrict or discontinue
this privilege whenever it is carried to excess or becomes an
annoyance.
ARTICLE XV.
SECTION I. Exhibitors will be held responsible for the cleanliness of
their exhibits and the space surrounding same.

SEC. II. All exhibits must be in complete order each day at least thirty
minutes before the buildings are open to the public. No janitor or other
work of this character will be permitted during the hours the buildings
are open to the public. In case of failure on the part of any exhibitor to
observe these rules, the chief of the department, with the approval of
the director of exhibits, may adopt such means to enforce the same as
circumstances may suggest.

department where the exhibit is installed, approved by the director of
exhibits.

crates, barrels, and packing cases, under a reasonable schedule of
charges based upon those levied by similar warehouses, which it will

packing cases to storage places will be provided at a moderate price.

ARTICLE XVIII.
SECTION I. Exhibitors desiring to contract for service of electricity,
steam, compressed air, power from shafting, gas, or water, must make
application to the chief of the department in which their exhibits are
installed. No application for service will be entertained unless made
upon a blank furnished by the director of works, which may be

obtained from a chief of a department, and when an application for
service has been approved by the director of exhibits the contract will
be executed on the part of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company
by the director of works on terms and conditions that will be stated in
each case. The director of exhibits and the director of works, in their
discretion, are authorized to furnish gratuitously to exhibitors a limited
amount of power for the operation of machines and processes. The
character of the exhibit requiring power for its operation will have
much to do with determining the amount of power that will be
furnished gratuitously.
ARTICLE XIX.
SECTION I. Concessions may be granted for private exhibitions for
which a charge for admission may be made; for restaurants, for places
of amusement, for merchandising, and for other purposes not
incompatible with the scope and dignity of the exposition, under terms

case.

president and approved by him.
