Camden Men Back from World's Fair

John A. Burke and Grandson Declare It Is Greatest of Exhibitions

High praise and commendation for the world's fair at Chicago was voiced by a Camden man and his grandson who have returned home after spending all last week at the exhibit.

The sojourners to Chicago were John A. Burke, of 516 Gordon Terrace, a member of the Camden Lodge of Elks, and his grandson, Hobart M. Luther, 17, of 807 Morgan Street, a student at Camden High School.

"In my estimation," said Burke, "the world's fair is the finest exhibition that I have ever seen. I have attended fairs all over the country and this one excels all others.

"I found much to marvel at in the science and transportation buildings. The crowds were tremendous and the railroads were doing a rushing business. There were comparatively few automobiles from other states, but my grandson and I counted 580 taxicabs which passed one point in an hour on the way to the fair."

While in Chicago Burke and his grandson met Floyd Gibbons, the radio announcer, and paid their compliments to him on the success of the exhibition.
