BIG FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Corn Palace Clears up Fully $4,000
on the Attractions and the
on the J
Immense Crowds.

HE4s
The corn palace committee, since
the show closed Saturday evening,
have been paying their bills, and as
they are nearly all paid something
definite as to the financial success of
the palace can be figured on. The
palace will clear about 5000 on the
weeks work, and it is a showing
that does magnificent credit to the
comlnittee.
The committee was able to do
this by reason Of the. large CROWDS
which came during the week. and
the crowds came because they were
assured of being we'll entertained.
Mitcnells reputation is s1ch over
the state that when she says she has
a good show dependence is placed in
her word and the people have never
failed her and the city and palace
committee have never failed to make.
good. People who came to Mitchell
on the first daY saw Immediately
that an, excellent show was being
given and they spread the news fast
enough when they returned home,
with the result that the crowds were
simply immense the rest of the week.
Last year the palace committee
cleared up SIS, 1000 and with the same
thing duplicated this year puts the
com palace on a legitimate basis Of
high class entertainment. Last year
the committee went to a great ex-
pense in constructing a new building
and with the balance on hand this
year the Indebtedness will nearly be
wiped cut.
The committee is entitled to high
praise for it's successful management,
and next year will see the enterprise
clear out of debt.
