OUR OPPORTUNITY
MAKE IT GOOD
Lssn SAOulA bs at the plid-wiAtsr
Exposition.


The NOSE wonderful attraction OF
show at the Worlds Fair at ST. Louis
was Roltair's creation. 1t was patron
lied BY many Floridians who visited
the Exposition. Mr.. ROltair, the build
er OF tt, will bring TO the Jacksonville
Mid-Winter Exposition, which opens
January 10 and continues for three
months, two OF the most remarkable
illusions ever built, one Of which is
known as the Flying Automobile. 1t
was sensation at the Dreamland Park
at COney Isand the entire summer
past Mr.. ROltair will build building
80 ~ 100 feet in which to install this
tlluslon.
This is an illustration of the charac-
ter and extent OF the Florida Mld.Win-
ter Exposition, inasmuch as when such
shows as Roltair's, BOstocks, Infant
lnenbators, are brought here, 1t means
that the show people nave great conf.
dence In the Exposition and its draw.
ing power.
Among the two score shows that will
be seen at the Florica Mid.Winter Ex-
position, which opens January Is in
Jacksonville, Bostock's Wild Animal
Show ranks above all.
The Bostock Wild Animal Importing
Company has had animal shows at all
the great expositions of the world. No |
show was more popular at the Pan.
American than Bostock's. For three |
years In Paris the name of Bostock was |
on every tongue. His Partisan Wild |
Animal Arena was remarkable in every |
way. He has brought his entire collec-
ton OF animals to Dixieland Park, ad.

be part Of the Exposition for the win.
ter. Over thirty animal acts, four hun.
dred wild animals, an arena 75x16O
beautifully lighted and seated will
prove an attraction equal TO that of any
other exposition in the world. This is
an illustration Of the character Of
shows that will help make the Mid
Winter Exposition a grand success.
The Infant Incubator institutions at
every big exposition in America sinceI
the Buffalo Pan-American have been
Datronzed by thousands Of visitors. Itl
ls the most wonderful exhibit Of carel
and culture OF childreA ever known.
In tiny incubators rest II little babes,
and they are carried to life, health and
vigor by the tender, loving care Of
trained nurses and doctors In charge of
thebs incubators. 1t is a humane ex.
hibit that appeals to all true men and
women. The infant incubator is (,

lecturer who explains all the ,

great attractions as the Infant Incu. I.

age, and a score Of other well-known
xpoeition shows, stamps the Florida 4
AAd.Winter Exposition as equal in {
very way to those that have preceded (
IN the years past throughout the 8
ountry. The Midway shows alone O
VII be worth travelling to Jacksonville 2
or, IL for nothing else.
Ot course the prime object OF the
Exposition is the showing OF products v
4 the State Of Florida. This will be t
rranged by means Of exhibits made by 9
ne eDterpTising counties and cities of
ke State. Il
Very wisely, the price of admission a
las been placed at 20 cents. The rail. c
Dads will run the lowest rate known r
the tourist season for the past ten c
ears in Florida. Everything points to
he great success OF the Jacksonville o
Exposition.
