TO THE MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS OF THE FIFTH AVENUE ASSOCIATION INC.
SUBJECT: Request to display flags during the celebration of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the Greater City of New York.
As you doubtless know, a mammoth municipal exposition will be held from May 26th to June 23rd inclusive for the purpose of celebrating the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the Greater City of New York. To give you some idea of the aims and purposes of this Jubilee, we are enclosing herewith a brief outline of the objects sought to be accomplished by this exposition.
Mr. William H. Woodin, Chairman of the Mayor's Advisory Committee, has requested the co-operation of our members towards making this Jubilee a success. He suggests the following:
1. That you display the National and City flags, as well as decorate your place with bunting of the National and City colors, on Saturday, May 26, 1923, on which day there will be a large civic and military parade on Fifth Avenue.
2. That you display the National and City flags DAILY during the weeks of the exposition - May 26th to June 23rd inclusive.
3. That you use a part of your windows for appropriate displays which will suitably portray the Silver Jubilee of this great metropolitan city.
4. That you carry in your advertising columns a reference to this municipal exposition, which will be held at the Grand Central Palace, 46th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, so that all who visit this city may read of this celebration and visit the exposition.
We are confident that you will extend your co-operation, as requested, insofar as you can consistently do so.
Very truly yours,
Robert Grier Cooke
