Palestine General Agricultural Show, 1927 – Programme. Jerusalem: Eretz-Israel Press, 1927. Hebrew, English, and Arabic. Trilingual (Hebrew, Arabic, and English) program published in time for the opening of the Palestine General Agricultural Show, organized by the government of the British Mandate in order to boost demand for the agricultural produce of Palestine. The fair took place in Haifa from the 20th to the 22nd of September, 1927, in the aftermath of the serious earthquake that shook the country in July 1927 and took the lives of hundreds of people throughout Palestine and Transjordan. Some of the proceeds from the fair were donated to a special fund established to offer assistance to the earthquake victims. On exhibit at the fair were samples of the agricultural and industrial products and produce of local farmers, craftsmen and industrialists, both Jewish and Arab: fruit, vegetables, and tobacco; livestock; horses; machinery; handicrafts, and more. Participants were judged for the quality of their produce and products, and prizes were awarded. British High Commissioner Herbert Plumer and the mayor of Haifa, Hassan Shukri, were in attendance at the opening of the fair, along with thousands of visitors. The present booklet gives a list of the items on display alongside instructions for the exhibiters; names of the organizers; timetables for trains arriving in Haifa from various destinations; schedule of events at the fair, and numerous advertisements. 20, [1], 1-3, 5-12, 5-34, [1], 27 pp., [1] f., 23.5 cm.
