At various times during the circus

portions of the country have seen

aware Of their Importance. They are
put out to notify the public that the
Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth will most assuredly visit the
section where the bills are posted some
time during the season. and act as
notice to all other shows that such
town or city has been preempted for
exhibition purposes by the big show
putting up the bills. and that others
must not encroaCh thereon. 1t is also
a measure of protection, as such Il big
show must look after its territory and
see that no small shows absorb any
of the revenues absolutely necessary
to maintain the largest of them ALL
That is good reason why people
should wait goes without saying. for
