Where children could play under fig trees

Let us travel to Beaumont where acres

The price is low,
Then up to Beaumont we will go

And make a pleasant home "on high.

DICK FERRIS INDOOR
CIRCUS TO BE A TREAT
SIX EXTRA ACTS ADDED TO Al
READY BIG PROGRAM
Menaeerie, Clowns, Performing Ponies
and other Features viii Be Pre-
sented-Baby Tigers a Feature.
House Well Decorated

Dick Ferris Indoor Circus. to be in
augurated at Ais South Hill street next
Saturday afternoon, is assuming pro-
portions altogether out of proportion to
the original plans.
Instead of giving the program that
was first mapped out. Mr. Ferris has
augmented the list of performers by
six extra acts-two of them foreign
acts that have just arrived In this
country.
The menagerie, also, has been en-
larged, and when the big show throws
open it's doors Saturday afternoon the
visitors will have an opportunity of
viewing many of the rarest specimens
of the animal kingdom.
Prominent in the, menagerie will be
the only baby tigers ever born in this
country. Circus folk aver that while
there have been numerous baby lions
on exhibition the tigers that Will be
seen at the Dick Ferris Indoor Circus
are distinguished for being the only
ones of their class.
The display CT polar bears, camels,
lions, monkeys and other animals Will
be both large and varied.
Sunday the smallest horse in the
world will prove a source of wonder
and delight to women and chlldren. In
the ring will be exhibited the troupe of
Royal performing elephants, six in
number, that perform all sorts of in
tricate military evolutions and marvel
Gus maneuvers with marked sagacity
and skill.
Ponies Will Perform
The troupe of performing ponies UNI
der the direction of Johnny Carroll will
be another big feature of the ring show,
while half dozen bareback riders,
both men and women, will display their
grace and experiences in true hoop-la
style.
Acrobats, aerial artists, contortion-
lists, musical acts, comic clowns who
sing popular songs, will al. be found
contributing to the program. of the Fer
ris show There will be daily matinees
when bills planned especially for wo-
men and children will be offered, and
special popular prices will prevail.
The building in which the Ferris Cir
Gus will be exhibited has been renovat-
ed to comply with the building regula-
tons AS a matter of fact Manager
Ferris has gone even further than the
building department deemed necessary,
and the interior has been gaily deco
rated with myriads of flags of all ma
lions and multi-colored bunting.

Let us first tell you why we are hold
ing this sale The reason is a logical
one. We find that we have been car
rying altogether too many agencies-to
give each agency a fair representation
meant carrying a stock entirely too
large. And we felt that we were not
giving each individual agency the at
tention it deserved. We are, therefore,
closing out six important lines-and
shall in future confine our operations
to the -Four Great German Leaders"
--Steinway, Kranich & Bach, Sohmer
and Kurtzmann.
Every other new piano on our floors
is now offered at cost or less. Included
are all the Emerson, Estey, Laffargue.
Sterling and Huntington pianos.
S225 buys a new Sterling piano worth
, $3.50: $225 buys a new Huntington

PLAYER Piano for $40O

Special attention is called to the
Player Piano offered in this sale. This
player piano at $500 is the same grade
that is sold regularly at from $500 to
$500 by many dealers in the West.
This. price does not begin to pay us
proft-in fact, profit is entirely elm
mated from this sale.
When we have cleaned up our stock
and put our money to work; when we
have our stock down to what reson-
able demands require and can devote
our energies to the -Four Great Ger
man Leaders" then, and only then,
shall we begin to think of profits again.
We know many people will say,
well! how can you do it?' and why
do you do it?" We believe we have
given reasons which explain our po-
sition. We state emphatically that
pianos in this sale are being sold at
cost or less. These statements we are
prepared to prove. Let that be dis
tinctlV understood
