AN HONORABLE SNOWMAN
1t is so rare an occurrence to see a big show
pursue an absolutely honorable course in adj
vertislng, especially as TO its size, that we
heartily commend the manner in which Wal
ter l.. Mains advance corps are doing in this
city, particularly as it applies to the press.
Articles are not falsely written up aud then
quoted as coming from responsible journals
where the show has appeared, but the bona
fde clippings taken just as cut from the col
umns OF the papers quoted from are placed.
IN the hands of the newspapers ahead, and
the local reporters deal with each as they
deem proper. This is what The Oil City, Pa.
Blizzard, May II, 1898, says of this big show
coming to Westminster, Saturday, October 8.
I'VE have been reading lately many com
plimentary comments on the greatly increased
size and unquestionable merit of the newly
equipped Walter J.. Main shows now touring
the East, but were agreeably sur lrised today
first by the magnitude of the show as a whole
as II came IN sections on lis elegantly con-
structed trains, and again by its stupendous,
clean and novel parade. A show never pre-
sented more gorgeous pageant. We,visited
the grounds later OH a business errand and
again met surprise. The show is absolutely
new throughout, and covers not only the en-
tire show lots, but all the streets surrounding
them. The tents at the afternoon perform
ance were packed with visitors, and the circus
programme for novelty, great features, com
edy aud real refinement excels anything Oil
City, Pa, has seen in many years. The
Blizzard endorses the Walter l.. Main shows
to the world in general as the most meritorious
they may possibly ever see, real fashion
plate show ifever there was one"
