For many excellent reasons, conspicuous
Is furnished by itself, we are pleased TO an
ncuncc the speedy coming OF Sells Broth
ers Millionaire Confederation Of StuPen-
dous Railroad shows. Every possible proof
and assurance IS given that It Is what its u
tie suggests, the grandest and weailhles1
amusement corporation on earth, canopy
ing al wonderland with It's hall 4 mllion'
wards Of great archaeological canvas. But
even more conclusive than the weighty IN
dorsement of the press, and the mighty
voice of public appreciation, Is the straight
forward and unprecedented action OF the
MeSsrs. Sells themselves, in vigorously dc
handing the strict enforcement Of the law
against az exhibitions guilty Of obtaining
money under false pretenses, and Of grossly
~swindling their patrons, 10y loudly adyertls-
inc attractions which they do not present
in ~strcuu0sly insisting that q passable per-
formance in some respects does not excuse
wholesale misrepresentation mother things;
and, finally, in frankly and boldly urging
the press to speak Of their show Just rs IL Is.
Clearly, 10 impoS,Or, no fraudulent adYer-
tiser. no ordinary exhibition would dare to
thus plainly and publicly arouse such pow
ergul agencies 10 crush it. Genuine superb
ority, true greatness and invincible integrity
can alone court such an ordeal, and as the
Mcssrs. Sells are the only ones to do It, the
c~onclus on is irresistible that theirs Is indeed
the very First and Finest Of Shows, and
that. in the words Of the Binshamton n.
