general 200 feet wide by -100 to 900 long and radiatingly spaced by broad courts from a central Court of Homes. To build these stately palaces with their combined exhibit space approach- ing some one million square feet, the cost is some 5S6,750,000, including py- lons, pavillions, stautary, murals, im- pressive fountains and manifold archi- tectural refinements. Apparent in the Treasure Island skyline is the slender 400 foot Tower of the Sun, only 57 feet in diameter. At its base is the Court of Honor. Competing in height with the lofty towers of the Bay Bridge and 72 feet higher than the wooded crest of a neighboring island, this dominant architectural note of the Fair has cost approximately 3535o,ooo. It will mount a -I-I bell Carillon during the Fair. A new Pacific style of architec- ture has been devised to exalt the visitor spiritually into a Never-Never Land where romance in the Ancient mystic forms has been blended into long horizontal lines, setback pyra- mids and mosques characteristic of Maylayan, Incan and Cambodian treat- ments. Tlrere will be a presentation of the distinctive American Indian civilization dramatically presented as part of a Federal exhibit. In addition to be- ing an absorbing exhibit never before presented, it is expected to establish a new vogue for a national crafts- manship that will help the Indian to stand on his feet financially. The Temple of Religion, a 35100,000 structure with a great Tower of Peace, will be constructed where creeds will join in presenting religious displays and activities throughout the Fair. A super-pageant that dramatizes the colorful history of the Eastern Em- pire under many flags from early ex- plorations to modern times, will be presented on a 500 foot stage. There will be a large scale duplica- tion of the real Hollywood Boulevard, including five shops and cafes, a studio with sets, sound stages and typical location scenes, and real celebrities of filmdom. Industrial West, a gigantic mil- lion dollar relief map of the eleven western states, 135 feet square, show- ing dams, transmission lines, rail and highway lines and national resources in exact detail, is in the patio of the Hall of the Western States. A huge model mountain, 50 feet high and strations of every type of Western mining will be found in the Treasure Mountain exhibit. A 2500 mile trip will be made in a few minutes. 400 feet long, with working demon- Be the Guest of the West in '39 is the invitation, See All the Wfest, with San Francisco as host cityf' Here is the 1939 XVorld's Fair at the Pacific Gateway, a significant ex- position of the empires that are build- ing in the golden pathway of the Setting sun.
