ADAM EoREPAUGH AND SELLS
BROTHERS, OIROUSkS.

For many years the W. W. Cole Show
WINS one Of the most popular and best
pasronized tented exhibitions In the coun-
try. He operated chiefly through the
Vest and South and made occasional
tours through the Eastern States. and he
also made an extraordinarily successful
tour through Australia and the islands OF
the Pacific.
Mr.. Cole has never had his portrait
printed upon any of his advertising mat
ter In any shape or form, either upon
posters. bills, newspaper advertisements,
stationery or in any other way. Indeed IL
Is said that he has never been in front
of camera but once, and that was in
Australia.
During the past six months the press
commissioners of the Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers Consolidation have
made the most strenuous efforts to sec ure
Mr.. Coles portrait for presentation to the
public as matter of interest in one of
the four proprietors Of the largest institu.
tion providing the publio's most popular
pastime, but these efforts, like all OF a
similar kind in years past. were of no
avail. No oDe can find out from him the
reason for his insurmountable objection
TO have his portrait appear. No one who
knows him believes that it is any desire
upon his part for any kind of notoriety or
to appear different from all his colleagues
In arenio management. IL is more than
likely that it has never even occurred to
him that his disposition toward retire
ment and refusal to acquaint the public
with his features by having picture of
him made and printed makes of him the
one positive, distinctive novelty of the
show world.
