For thousands of years, people have flocked to these market places where business is combined with pleasure. Fairs were held in ancient Babylon 5,000 years ago. Countries and dy- nasties have risen and fallen and been forgotten, but fairs are more popular today than ever. The dense crowd shown above is attending the oldest and largest market place in the world. For more than 700 years crowds such -.s this have been attending the historic Fair at Leipzig, Germany. {n the ipsig Fair—— A Typical Street Crowd early middle ages, people travelled to the Fair in long caravnns, guarded by soldiers carrying picturesque hal- berés and pikes. Today business men from seventy-four countries in every corner of the world are at tracted to the same historic ex- change. From the crude trading center has grown a great world fair, where 9,000 exhibits are displayed. Amert- ¢an merchants have been regularly attending the Fair for 150 years.

(By Associated Press) GRANITE CITY, Ill, Aug. 6.—An automobile parking lot is an infallible index of prosperity to Chris Bechtoldt, employe of a steel company here. “After the crash in cars began disappearing the dozen,” Bechtoldt said. “From 1932 to 1934 there weren’t a hundred cars a day in the lot here. In many cases five or ten workers sold their automobiles and bought a second-ha: truck, co-cperating on runnnig ex- penses. “Now look at the lot.
