Dode Fisk, Conquerer in the Circus
World, Appears in Mineral Point
Monday, July 26.

To have built within four short years
circus of such magnitude as the Dode
Fish. Great COORDINATION Shows is an
achievement never before accomplished
by any other oner Mr.. Fisk's sue
cess was obtained only through care
full studysof the wants of circus
loving public.
When Mr.. Fisk entered the circus
world four years ago with single edu-
Gated horse he realized that his success
was to be obtained only by treating the
public fairly and giving it the best OBJ
tainable. That horse was the most
wonderfully educated animal iii the
world, being capable of doing every
thing but talk. Each year since then
Mr.. Fisk has added to the show, and
especially keeping up the excellent
standard he set himself to attain, until
now the node Fisk Great Combination
shows are on a par with and rival the
older and more widely known circuses.
Perhaps one of the greatest factors
in making a success of this most sue
cessful of circuses is the fact that it at
all times has been entirely clean, free
from Objectionable features, and abso-
utely without a graft or catch-penny
game of any description whatever; and
today Dode Fisk's circus has the repu-
tation of being the cleanest show on
earth.
Monday, July 26, is the day set aside
for the great gala day event when Dode
Fisk will exhibit here under the aus
pieces of the Mineral Point Commercial
Club
