BUTTON IS SELECTED
For the Wichita Street Fair and
Carnival

Wichita, Sept olive thousand OFF,
cial buttons for the street fair and car
nival will be placed on sale in about
ten days. At a meeting of the general
committee one of a half dozen button
designs submitted by G. H. Scarf was
officially approved and an order for the
buttons ordered placed with a big but
ton making concern in New Jersey.
The buttons will be sold at 10 cents
each.
The accepted button design is both
unique and humorous in conception.
The grOtesque figure of monkey
stands out prominently in the button
design. With a red monkey cap placed
jauntily on his head and an attitude of
utter abandon the monkey is repre-
scented as literally painting Wichita
red. Below is this suggestive observa-
ton:
It want to tell you on the dead,
That everything saw at Wichita was
red"
The title "Wichita Street Fair and
Carnival" occupies the upper part of
the rim of the button and the fair dates
October 16 to q, '99, are inscribed on
the lower part.
