good fat advertising pages which mus:
be a source of considerable income to
the Fair. There are also a few blank
pages in this little pamphlet, which is one
that can easily be slipped into the side

the case, the fair will be one of the most in

only way of detecting variations in pres

the train was at standstill and note
