THE BIG BUTLER FAIR.
OF Whom the Butler Fair j.
Composed--Physical C0ndi-
ton of the County--W on
derful Growth in Popula-
tion--Why We Should At
tend the Fair.

The Butler Fair is corporation
chartered under the laws of Pennsylva
MIA, with capital stock of s25, 900, which
stock is owned by more than 800 repre-
sentative citizens of Butler county, wh'
are engaged in almost every line of bus
iness The board of managers or direc
| tors number - men, who are chosen by
the stockholders every year to manage
! tha business of the association. You
will realize by this that the Great But
/ Ter Fair il not the possession or lie"
people, but that there Is scarcely ram
! lly in the county that is not IN some
way represented as part owners, exmD-
itors or helpers.
1t would possibly seem that 1t would
! take but short time to arrange and as
semble a Fair even of this magnitude,
but such is not the case, as there Is
scarcely week in the entire year that
the managers do not devote part OF
their time in securing attractions or ex-
hibits for this great affair. You Will
therefore not be surprised when you see
the Fair this year and realize the great
Improvement in every line over last
year.
Every citizen of the county Will real
ize and appreciate that we have passed
through a period of great prosperity
during this past year-the crops nave
been good and commanded the highest
price, with ready market, which has
helped to place the farmer, business
man and mechanic in very prosperous
condition, and now since harvest is over
and before we begin to prepare for ar
other winter it would seem like great
pleasure to join with all our nelghbors
and friends at the great homecoming
Jubilee 10 be held on the Butler FAIR
Grounds, when we can not only meet
our neighbors but many friends in this
and adjoining counties that we nave
not seen for a whole year. Combined
with the above pleasure we will also en-
joy the privilege of seeing the best pro-
ducts of our county composed OF agrl.
cultural products. machinery and
stock which enables us to increase our
efforts for an even more prosperous year
for 1907.
All the railroads are cooperating with
the association by furnishing cheap ex-
cursions and special trains. with extra
equipment for this great affair which
they realize will eclipse any former
gathering in the history of the county.
While Thursday. 23rd, will be the
banner day in attendance yet the ex'
hibitioDs, free attra rtions, racing, etc,
will be equally as good on every other
day and in order to realize the enormity
this year it will be entertaining az well
as educational to arrange your affairs
to attend every day, as the admission is
so small that it is only tritie compared
with any other outing at which you
would receive much less benefit.
The entries in speed department are
coming in earlier and more OF them
than at any former Fair and the same
is true of the stock, for exhibitions and
every other department.
The grounds are finer and accomoda-
tions more complete than they have
ever been. The Street Car Co. has pro-
vided new cars-the Association many
more free attractions and the whole ar
fair is in readiness to show to the
patrons of the Fair, composed OF people
all over Western Pennsylvania what
wonderful county we live in.
1t is scarcely necessary to enumerate
the many attractions and amusements
as the managers have guaranteed us
that the Big Butler Fair will stand in a
class by itself at the head of the list
compared with other fairs in this sec
tion of the country.
In addition to all the above mention
ed facts the merchants of the county
are cooperating in forming a great in
dustrial perade for Thursday forenoon
that will promenade the grounds in
connection with the brass band and ex-
hibit their wares and merchandise on
loaded wagons which IN itself is fully
worth more than the small admission
charged at the gate.
Do not forget to hear the 10th Regi-
mont Band and the Juvenile band of
Greenville composed of 36 boys in uni
form. All get ready and we will meet
you at the Big Butler Fair, August 81
"a, and see the Great Wild West Show.
Chariot Faces, Drummer Boy of
Shenandoah, Colored Jubilee Singers of
Petts., etc. First class dining hall on
the grounds or bring your dinner with
you and eat it In the beautiful grove.
