The following official announcement
of the coming state fair was issued
today by the Kansas State Exposition
company:
sas State Exposition company will be
held at the old State Fair grounds, To-
peka, during the week of September
1917, 1904.
1T is quite gratifying to state that
the fairs held so far were quite sue
cessful financially and otherwise, and
fully met the expectations of exhibit
ors and visitors as a creditabIe Kan
sas exposition. The Kansas Exposition
company promptly met all of its OBJ
legations and paid all premiums to ex-
hibitors as soon as won. The COM
pany also erected a magnificent grand
amphitheater for the speed depart
ment, equipped one of the most COM
modious cattle barns in the west,
erected new pens and sheds for the
swine and sheep departments and
built new horse barn.
The Kansas State Exposition COM
pany has the official Endorsement and
cooperation of every state industrial
society. such as the Kansas Improved
Stock Breeders association, State Hor-
ucultural society, State Poultry assoc
citation, Kansas State Dairy associa ton,
etc 1t is the desire of these state So
cietieS that a permanent state fair will
be located at Topeka by the next leg
islature, with such equipment and sup
port as will place Kansas on a similar
basis with other western states.
We desire to call special attention
TO the liberal premiums and the COM
petent and experienced management of
the various departments. The general
classification is ideal from an exhibit
or standpoint, and while many of the
cash premiums may seem small for a
state institution, it will be remember
ed by everybody concerned that the last
legislature failed to make any provis-
ion for the equipment or maintenance
OF state fair. therefore the Kansas
State Exposition company, with the CO.
operation of the Topeka Commercial
club, has assumed the enterprise with
It's attendant duties and expense, be-
heving that the majority of the public
spirited citizens of the state want a
permanent state fair located at Topeka
the railroad center and capital of the
state; and in appreciation of the fore
going fact ii is confidently expected
that the people of Kansas will do their
utmost to make our annual event a
great success by honoring US with their
presence and using their influence to
secure a creditable display from their
own county.
Indications are that this fair will be
the greatest display of Kansas re-
sources ever made in our state. Whose
