Convention OF CarnivaF Gel
ebrities.
From time immemoriaL the idea of
getting together, exchanging iedas and
opinions has been desire on the part
Of man, and one can see in this prog
ressive age that the apex has been
reached. To a person who can remem-,
ber-say twenty years back, the radical
difference in advertising methods is
decidedly evident The business man is
ever ready to spend his money adver-
tising and each year fortunes are ex-
pended in printers ink. Long ago some
one said: zone drop of ink makes mil
lions think" Even they program that
you scan as you enjoy the play is devot-
ed largely to singing the praises of the
progressive merchant Oh manufacturer.
The problem of obtaining the best
results in advertising has been a con-
tinual one. Of late years the idea Of
combining business with pleasure has

man and his methods have been brought
into play.
The success of the county and state
fairs of today depends largely upon the
attractions furnished by the manage
ment. 'The yellow pumpkin" the
patch work quilt and the horse races
furnished by the local manager have
been strengthened by the addition of
amusements Of all kinds. and visitors
both young and old, are amused and
instructed by outside talent in the shape.
of high priced, high grade features and
the fair today is open day and night
and naturally attracts much larger at
tendance. than the old time fair. The
results have been so satisfactory that
nearly every city of any size in the
United States each year, has one big
event in the shape Of Carnival, Fete,
flower show or street fair, held usually
| in the heart Of the city for the purpose
of keeping the visitors in the city and
! not out on the fair grounds or race
| race track as of old. When after be-
ing isolated for the day they would re-
| turn (tired out and usually disappoin-
ted to their romes in the country or
| to bed at very early hour at their
respective hotels and the consequence
would be that visitors would have a
poor opinion Of the business man that
entertained him So .sha billy and the

! The fair and carnival of today is not
only gotten up with the idea of bring
ing outsiders to your city in larger
numbers than before, but to take care
of him in a better shape. Excursion
! and hotel rates are secured. the town
is gaily decorated, the attractions are
carefully selected and must be Of high
order and suitable for ladies and child
rem as well as men, and visitors to the
city are amused and edited, and have
! plenty of time in the forenoon to do
their shopping and visiting and then
! to the carnival grounds to drive dull
care away.
! Commencing July 6 and continuing
six days and nights Duluth will have
a big iair and carnival, the first one to
be hello in the Zenith CITY, but our
readers are assured that it will not be
the last. Preparations are already under
