The Gollmar Circus.


Since its conception, the circus has
evolved from its pristine glory to a
realization of almost speculative mag
nifcence, and Gollmar Bros. are to be
credited with keeping well abreast of
the stride. Their show this year is
larger, more perfect in appointment
and comprise more unique features.
The menagerie alone IS worth the price
of admission.
The Gollmar Bros. with their popular
show will be in Mineral Point on Friday,
Aug. 90 and give two performances;
doors open and Z p. m.
