Shawn Patrick donated this Premium Book from the 1901 Morris Fair.

The book measures 5 inches by 7 3/4 inches. I opened it as I scanned it so that you see two pages at a time.

In 1901 the 25th Annual Exhibition took place October 1, 2 & 3. The Morris Chronicle published the fair book.

The Morris Chronicle also wrote about the fair. Two newspaper pages are linked below for your reading pleasure.
