GREAT CORN PALACE.
At Sioux City, Iowa, September
23rd to October 9th.

People who have never visited a
Sioux City Corn Palace have little or
no conception of its magnitude, nor OF
the opportunities there afforded for
exhibiting every product and manu-
featured article of any section of our
country. The attendance averages
from 10000 to $4,000 per day, for
thirteen consecutive days, and as u
rule, are class of people who are
close observers of the resources and
the products of the different sections.
For this reason, the ILLINOIS CEN
TRIAL Railroad is DESTROYS that Ten
nessee, Mississippi and Louisiana
should be represented at the coming
Corn Palace, with fine exhibits of all
the products and resources of these
three grand states. The South looks
to the Northwest for capital and i'm
migration, and in no possible way can
they so well reach the masses, with
specimens of what they can profitably
grow and manufacture, as through
creditable exhibits at the Palace,
which opens at Sioux City, Septem-
Der %, and closes October 5. To Sc
cure such an exhibit requires patience
and hard work by enterprising citi
zens who are anxious to see their res
pective states creditably represented.
The Illinois Central are willing to CO.
operate with the securing such an ex-
hibit, and will not only transport free
all such EXHIBITS to and from the Palace,
but will bear the expense of fitting
up the space assigned each of the
above named States, land furnish acom-
petent man to look after and return
all exhibits after the Palace is closed.
We want small quantity of every
kind of canned fruit and vegetables,
every kind of grain, cotton seed,
cane, syrups and sugar, every variety
of wood, manufactured articles, when
the raw material is grown in the State,
any and everything that will advertise
what the South can produce.
Citizens of Tennessee, Mississippi
and Louisiana, shall we have your
hearty and immediate cooperation in
this matterf Will you not at once Or
ganize at every station on the line of
the Illinois Central, and through sys
tChdtiC CuolG, 5CCuiC IuC NCly oCst
possible exhibits, and have them at
your very nearest station, September
10th, nicely packed, and carefully
with owners name and town
to which they are to be accredited?
A Southern exhibit such as these three
States can make, would be the center
of attraction at the Corn Palace, and
would advertise your resources as
else possibly could. Parties
who are willing to aid in this matter
should at once write Capt. j. F. MER-
RY, Assistant General Passenger
Agent, Manchester, Iowa, for printed
circulars concerning the Palace. And
anyone who can possibly attend this
eighth wonder of the world, will not
only have an opportunity of see
ing an immense Palace of Corn, but
they will visit the coming great me-
tropolis of the Northwest, a city that
to-day has greater possibilities than
any other in the United States, and
whose people for enterprise, push and
genuine aggressiveness, are uuparall-
ed in the history of the world.
Friends of the South this is your
golden opportunity, will you improve
itl Letters addressed to either the
undersigned will have prompt atten-
ton.
