The Levant Fair, the sixth Palestine and Near East Trade Exposition closed today after five weeks. It was one of the most successful fairs in the history of the Near East, with an attendance during the five weeks of over 600,000 guests who came to Tel Aviv from all parts of the world.
The seventh Levant Fair will be held here on the permanent fair grounds in 1936. The expositions have been an important factor in the commercial development of Palestine since their inception in 1929.
