BUSINESS IS ALL RIGHT:
COXEY HERE FOR BARNUM
Says Outlook Was Never Brighter
Plans for the Big Exhibition in
This City Next Monday.

Circus men are notably good bar
ometers of the financial situation, and
W. d. COXey, one of the press agents
of the Barnum & Bailey circus, which
will be here next Monday, says that
there is not the slightest indication
that this presidential year is going to
show a falling off in business.
Mr. CoXey was in the city today
looking after the interests of the cir
Gus. He is an intelligent and inter
esting talker.
In times of financial depression"
said Mr.. COXey, the circus is one of
the first enterprises to feel its effects.
This is because large part of the cir
Gus clientele comes from the country,
and the farmers are very quick to
scent financial danger and practice
economy. Our business instead of fall
ing off is constantly on the increase
and our greatest trouble is to find
room TO seat the people.
You may think the latter statement
surprising when l tell you that the
seating capacity of the Barnum & Bal
ley show is in the vicinity of 10000
greater, in fact, than any other circus
in the world-and even superior to
that of the Barnum & Bailey show
prior to its trip to Europe. This great
show, however, is restricted in it's ca
pacity by one important fact-it abso-
| lutely Will not sell Standing room
Every scat in the big tent-even the
| cheapest is a coupon or section seat.
The capacity of the tent has been ac-
curately figured out, and only enough
| tickets to fill it are printed
But this is not all Not only is the
audience not crowded, but it's comfort
| is also provided for in a way that
would have seemed chimerical a few
years ago. There are four classes of
seats. If you wish to pay the price
you may have a box seat; 81 gives you
an opera chair on a solid platform.
and 75 cents pays for a folding back
seat, the same as other shows exact a
dollar for. The greatest triumph. how
ever, is in the so cent seats Every
| admission seat has a foot rest and a
comfortable foot rest at that. The
popularity of such an innovation is
evident. While the danger in walking
from seat to seat is totally eliminated
From the standpoint of magnitude
| a great deal can also be said. The
show will come to Rock Island next
Monday, July %, with over So railroad
cars"
Mr.. CoXey's views on the business
situation are interesting as bearing out
the contention of the optimistic ones
| that the good times are with us to
stay.
Some men are born great and some
are born to go in advance of a show.
Like the show he represents there is
only one COXey and his coming is d
feature in itself. His word pictures
of the great white-tented fairyland are
worth the while to listen to. The big
gest and best event of the whole sum
mer season will be when Barnum &
Bailey come to town.
