r. The following from=tt1e- Western
Publisher is reproduced without CON-
ment:
No town will become a good busi-
ness center as long as the majority OF
it's business men rely upon few mer-
chants to bring trade to town. Too
often the men in few lines of trade
are about the Only ones that reach
out after custom. Other merchants
wait until these business men infiu-
ence people to town and content them
selves with trade that naturally drifts
to their place. A public spirited man
asks himself if he is doing his part to
attract people to town. Any person
who induces people to come to town
to trade is helping the entire business
community, and no town is a success
unless all lines OF trade are working
to extend business as far as possible;
and trying TO bring larger territory
| in the circle of which the town is a
| business center. r.-Ex.

The musical feature of Ringing.
Brothers. Worlds Greatest Shows has
always been an important item in the
enormous program. The concert be-
fore the ring performances begin is a
delight to the musically inclined as
well as the larger element of the crowd
which prefers tuneful numbers. Prof.
Ganweiler, the band master, is COM
poser and soloist of distinguished
fame and singularly gifted as leader.
The music written for the gorgeous.
spectacle, Jerusalem and the CruSadeS,
ranges from the deeply spiritual to.
floridly Sensuous, and is rendered by
the circus band OF so soloists with a
musical skill and effect that lends not
little to the delight of the produc-
tion. This factor of music is one of
the many excellent points which fa-
voritely separates Ringing Brothers
