Graceful, soaring archways will add to your enjoyment of the Fair

You will see them towering 60 feet above the crowds - beautiful General Foods Archways, erected to "Peace Through Understanding."

In big, bright letters moving across their message panels, they will tell you about special events at the Fair and give you instructions for reaching them.

They will bring you weather forecasts, reports of traffic conditions, public-service announcements, sports results, the correct time, special bulletins about important events in the news.

There are 11 of these handsome, helpful structures; they comprise the "electronic newspaper" communications system at the Fair.

They provide a service which General Foods brings you with best wishes for a rewarding experience at this great international exhibition dedicated to "Peace Through Understanding."

 "Meet me at the Archway"

Thousands of Fairgoers will be saying, "Meet me at General Foods Archway Number Four" - or Number Five, or any of the 11 Archways they designate as a convenient place to meet.

You can't miss these dominating landmarks; they stand prominently in the open, where you can easily spot the persons you're looking for.

When you're seeing the Fair in a group, a good idea is for all to agree on a specified General Foods Archway as an assembly point in case you become separated.

The map above shows you where they are; and all 11 are numbered.
