But we did it. We built the best and second largest State Building
ever erected at a World's Fair; we collected and installed the most
complete and most attractive exhibit of California's resources that the
State ever made; we maintained stereoptican lectures, gave out verbal
information to all inquirers, and distributed attractive literature;
we gave frequent receptions and dispensed true California hospitality;
we filled the measure of our aim; we did what we believe the State
expected us to do, and it is a proud moment now the work is ended and
we are able to record the fact that we did it without exceeding the
appropriation.
