Mexico Was Honored at the World's Fair
La Lucha, Aug. 18, 1934
The Mexican Republic was worthily represented at The World's Fair. It is well known that Mexico is a beautiful land with plenty of regional color.
Mr. Luis Lupian, general inspector of consulates, arrived from Mexico heading 26 commissioners of industrial negotiators. Messers. Rafael De La Colina, Consul-General in San Antonio, Texas and Enrique D. Ruiz, Consul-General in New York, arrived also at the same time.
The noted Tipica, (characteristic musical group) which form part of the Banda De Publicia (police band) brought the fragrance of the old Mexico and enlivened things with its selected music.
The Mexican visitors were lodged by the quartermaster-general of "The International Lions", 332 South Michigan Avenue. The visitors attended a reception in the Exposition fields at the Honor Court.
2In the Mexican Village a luncheon was served and Mr. Edward Brown, president of The First National Bank, was the host and toast-master.
There were many toasts, and plenty of cordial greetings and wishes for friendly relationship between both nations.
