GREAT CORN PALACE,

October 5ths

People who have never visited
Sioux City Corn Palace have little or
no conception of its magnitude, nor of
the opportunities there afforded for
exhibi,Ing every product and manu-
featured article of any section OF our
country. The attendance average from
10, 600 to $4,000 per day, for thirteen
consecutive days, and as role, ard
class of people VINO are close observers
of the resources and the products Of
the different sections. For this rea-
son. the Illinois Central Railroad is
DESTROYS that Tennessee, Mississippi
and louisiana should be represented
Al tne coming Corn Palace, with fine
exhihibits Of all the products and re-
sources of these three grand states.
The south looks to the Northwi st for
capital and immigration, and la no
possible way can they SO we'll reach
, the masses, with specimens OF what
they can probably grow and manu-
facture, as through creditable exhibits
at the Palace, which opens at Sioux
/, City. September %, and closes Octo-
: Der S. To secure such an exhibit re-
I quires patience And hard work by
enterprising citizens who are anxious
Q to see their respective states creditably
represented. The Illinois Central are
: willing to cooperate with the people
u in securing such an exhibit, and will
70 not only transport free all such exhi-
= bits TO and from the Palace but will be
to the expense Of fitting up the space
81 assigned each of the above named

Is look after and return all exhibits after

lie featured articles, when the row una

possible exhibits, and have them a
