Excerpt from Condensed Catalogue of Interesting Exhibits With Their Locations in the World's Columbian Exposition: Also Complete Plans and Diagrams of the Exhibit BuildingsThe immense area occupied by the ground ¿oor of the Agricultural Building has been laid o& with a view to offering the readiest facilities to visitors to locate the exhibits. A reference to the ground ¿oor plan will show, plainly marked, four great sections. These are lettered A, B, C and D, and that portion of the ground ¿oor on the west side of the building is known as section E. These'five reat divisions contain the exhibits from the various states and territories and from some foreign countries and dependencies. The state exhibits occupy nearly the whole of sections C and D on the south side while the foreign countries with a few exceptions claim the major portion of sections A and B on the north. The larger nations such as Great Britain, France, Germany and Canada make exhibits belonging exclusively to the Agricultural Department, but many of the smaller ones, among them Trinidad, the Orange Free State, Liberia, Curacao and Cuba, have in this building been granted most liberal space for the display of what is known as collective exhibits. To~locate exhibits on the ground ¿oor the following system has been adopted: Beginning at the center of the building in each section, each column is lettered from. A down the alphabet, toward the outside of the building. Beginning with the outside, and going toward the center of the building, the columns are numbered from 1 up. The col umus in each section are lettered and numbered separately, that is, for example, in each section column i-a can be found. The location of an exhibit is indicated by two letters and a figure such as e, e-10, which means that the exhibit having this location sign is installed in section E where the lines of columns E and 10 cross or in other words the exhibit can be found in section E on the west side of the building at the corner of E and 10th streets.
