Stock Association.
The committee charged with Issuing
an address to the citizens on behalf OF
the Fair association and arranging for a
public meeting, have issued the follow
ing address:
To the Citizens of San Antonio and South.
western Texas:
We have been requested to call upon
you and request you to attend a mass
meeting at the courthouse, on Saturday,
November 27, at 1880 p. m. to insugu-
rate an agricultural, mechanical and
live sto k association.
The time has come when San Antonio
can no longer afford to stand back, but
must keep abreast with this age OF pro-
gress. of agricultural and industrial de-
velopment. And one Of the most effect
ual and profitable investments city can
make is fair.
No half way measures or parsimonious
investments will pay. Our sister cities
have and are now paying out large
amounts of money to aid their fairs. Dali
las alone put $3.50, 0OU into her late fairs.
The superintendent says 1t was a good
Investment, the estimate being that hail
million dollars were brought to the
city.
AS to the question of location OF
grounds, the committee deem Ii best to
leave that to the association when or
gained.
A permanent, substantial and char.
tered association need have no fears OF
failure with fair at San Antonio. Let
every one who feels pride in the ad-
vancement of our highly favored city
come out upon that occasion and take a
hand in this worth undertaking.
