MODERN cARNIvALs AS THEY ARE TODAY

In the year 1893 two gentlemen by the names of
Carter and Catonl in the city of Alliance Ohio were en-
deavorlng to figure out scheme by which get the best
OF certain dog circus, which playing in that city
Mr. Carter suggested the idea that they put together
few Playground shows lemonade and lunch stands and
play the streets Through their efforts they interested
COL T. W. Gask. of Canton, Ohio and together they
organized what is known 5 the street fair PLAYING in
various portions of the country under the auspices of the
Elks
The following the Great Frank &. Boctock
from London England introduced three-wagon, painted
animal show, to play the streets This the first
introduction of the carved and gded wagon front Later
in the field the so-called Parker Amusement com
pany with their Grand Glorious Glitterng, Costly and
Magnificent wagons.
Did the public stop to think when the gentlemen who
were talking the fronts of these various shows called
their attention the beautiful fronts that the best part
of the show in the big fronts and the tents,
Now, let compare the carnival company that carries
neat clean fronts and good shows behind those plain
fronts, and the company that carries the gold and silver
wagon fronts to look at outside, and no shows inside
When the people 90 home from the latter, their cry is
the wagons look lovely, but the show was-"wel won't
say
In regard to the Brundage & Fisher Amusement Co.,
while they the largest company the road they
carry nothing with them but what they can proudly say
that it belongs to them and that they present clean
moral refined highclass and strictly upodate perform
and that each and every performer Of reput,
tion, and are bound to be ladies and gentlemen
The Souf Befo de Wah, commonly Jailed the Old Plana-
tion, is meror1ous show in which Frank Demane has
taken particular pains to select nothing but the of
the coored performers and truthfully say one
of the best negro minstres that has been placed
under The Novelty Circus, under the direction
of Captain W. O. Nichols, is composed of trained dogs
and novelty acts, including the Great Rosey and little
Barney the pony with the human brain The Zoo under
the management of Mr. Kmpach one the best zoolo-
gcal collections ever placed on carnival grounds
The Electric Theatre the featured attraction of this
company, under the management of Mr. Leo Willard pre-
sents of the best electrical displays seen in our
city
TIL electric merry-goround is what takes the eye of
the children and always of its share Of the nckes
and for the ferris wheel it takes its turn and takes
the people with it.
Prof Wagner. who furnishes the music. has a small,
all American band of twelve pieces but he does adver
tise big band of the other so-caled amusement com
panie which generally consist of foreigners that make
music like the hand organ the dago and the monkey carry
around town. We say that Wagoner's Military band
of the best carnival bands the country we'll worth
going to hear Taking it all in all, we still stick to the
old adage, Good goods in small parcels' There
fore will say the Brundage Fisher Amusement
pany though small in comparison to that have been
here well recommended and honestly advers-
ed They have delivered the goods and far above the
big carnival companies that here with their carved
wagon fronts and misleading advertisements and if Mus
kogee wants to put another street fair carnival
the Brndage Fisher company will be looked for, and
given hearty welcome by the citizens of Muskogee Our
for thinking that from the managers down to
the little boot black, to each and every person. the
pany is composed of ladies and gentlemen, and nobody
point finger of disrespect at any lady with them
as might be done with some Of the other carnival com
panies that have played in Muskogee The Brundage &
Fisher company does not have to depend tin carved
wagon fronts to please the amusement loving people
