The public exhibition of domestic
animals, farm and garden products,
fruits, flowers, farm implements, ma
chimes, and all manner Of mechanical
and domestic handicraft, and works
Of art and taste, has becOme one of the
recognized institutions and national
holiday occasions of the American
people.
In view of this fact, and To bind in
closer fellowship a large and homo
penous class of the citizens Of Ohio
and adjoining States, We, the COrpO-
rators and Stockholders Of the North
ern Ohio Fair Association, have de
termined to institute such an eXhlbl-
ton in our midst, and by liberal and
attractive provision, TO make IL
worthy the cooperation and attend
ance of q people whose chiefest glory
is their recognition of intelligent, pro
ductive Industry, as the foundation
of the prosperity of the State; and
who. i'm sutSserVience to this, also rec
opnize the importance of the great
social benefits to be derived from as
sembling themselves together 10 look
upSn the successes of each others la
bors. and to cultivate more intimate
acouaintances and friendships, at this
great Harvest Home Festival of the
Industrial year.
In the belief that Northern Ohio
and the Lake Shore region, by its pc
culiar geographical and commercial
pOsition, as well as by its live stock,
agricultural, horticultural mechanical,
and other local industries, would be
largely benefited by regular annual
exhibition of all these, the Northern
Ohio Fair Association extends the
hand of fellowship to all and several
of the peoples and like industrial As
sociations, within and without the
bounds of our organization, and III
woke their good will and hearty co
operation in the common cause OF IN
dustrial and social progress.
In this work we disclaim all feel
ings of sectional jealousy or petty
rivalry, and taking our stand upon
the broad platform of good will to all
we throw down the gage of honorable
connection to all who may enter ouI
{ lists to strive for the crown of excel
/ lence, i'm which the success OF one Is
alike the triumph of all.
The Northern Ohio Fair Associa.
ton is a legally chartered institution
under the laws of Ohio, with a capi.
tai stock of S3OO,OOO, divided into
shares of $50 each, to bring the pro
prietorship within the reach OF al
who feel an interest in the success o.
the enterprise, and to enlist the great
est number of persons in the ranks o.
/ its stockholders. On this capital
stock, ten per cent. must be paid down
and it is supposed that future Install
ments need not exceed twenty-five
per cent. more, which will be ample
for all expenses of putting the Fan
upon q safe basis for successful opera
tiOn, and it is not Otanticipated that any
further installment upon the capital
stock will ever be required while
with judicious management, fan
dividend may be returned TO the stock
holders, besides the untold benefit
not to be estimated by dollars apC
cents. which will annually accrue
from permanent and well ordered
exhibition of the products of our skill
and industry, and the happy result;
of the social and friendly intercourse
of our whole people, under such favor
able auspices.
A business office has been opened a
l37 Superior street. Weddell HOUSE
Block, opposite the American House
where books are open for subscription
to the capital stock, and liberal sub
scriptiOns are already made. 1t is al
so proposed to establish local agen
cies for this purpose III the severa
counties OF Northern Ohio, for which
and to afford an opportunity for tax
ing of stock outside of the City o
Cleveland, correspondence is solicite'
from any persons who desire to co
operate with us.
