Circus Day.

Convincing skeptical people ia
the hardest task that the circus pro-
prietor nowadays has. Where a
strange public has been led to be.
lieve the best and the final proof
was the worst, what can you expect
when some of your brethren have
preceded you and got the people to
think we'll of them and then disap.
pointed and to say the least cha
grined them?
Campbell Bros, which is billed to
appear in Virginia on Monday, July
q, are just now convincing the peo-
pie all through southern California
where the show is at the present
time that they have all they adver.
tise, conduct their shows-which
are the largest independent CIRQUE
in the world-honorably, on strict
business principles, with a system
that is only equalled by our own
postal service and in a manner that
does not befit the ordinary show
man. but your own home merchant
or business man. Newspapers say
they cannot speak too we'll of the
chow, mayors of different cities
force recommendations into the
pockets of the Campbell Bros. coats
and vests. City officers everywhere
make it a point to speak to any one
of the five Campbell brothers per-
sonally and comment principally
upon the moral character of the
show.
Any fair minded person from this
will know what to expect of the
show,theu, should they attend. And
just such principles will always be
followed around the show.
Giving value for value received.
leaving nothing undone to satisfy
a critical public, establishing a
spotless reputation-all come uu-
der the list of accomplishments
which the Campbell Bros. possess.

boyhood DaE.

As we speed through life, on the
wings of time, our thoughts go
back to our youth at the approach
of the circus. There ia not one
among US who does not remember
his first circus in the days gone by,
when they travelled overland from
town to town. Who does not re-
member the funny old clown, with
his comic actions and quaint say
ings; the lady rider skipping BAN
ners on the back of the horse; the
smell of the old saw-dust ring, and
of the animate and how you packed
water for the elephant to work your
way into the show?
Mother Time and the demands of
a never satisfied public have chang
ed all this. The modern show con
tains three rings; two elevated stag.
es and a menagerie that would have
been an impossibility with the old
wagon show. They are now trans.
ported by rail, and oftimes cover ae
much distance in one night az the
wagon circus did in two weeks trav-
Ell. Yet the circus, as of old, is the
one great pleasure looked forward
to by the children. On that day
even the old grow young and join
in the revelry and pleasures of the
children. How often have you
heard it said, II am going to the
show to take the children" when
way down in their hearts they are
glad of the excuse? Now that oul
city is to be visited by Campbell
Brothers Great Consolidated Show
on Monday. July Is, let US all be-
come children once again, and get
the tull enjoyment of all the many
features this great modern enter
prise offers to the public.
July Is. Wait for the Big Show.

the travelling salesman who comes
around monthly and takes orders
from the home merchant.
And lent it relieving to have a
stranger come along occasionally!
Especially one who has never been
in your town, but if treated right is
a booster for you, and comes back
again; the next time with more
goods. of better quality, and the
knowledge that his visits are vel.
coined.
Campbell Bros shows are max
ing their first tour of California.
Although being the largest indie
pendent circus in the world, and
having Travelled in every other state
and territory in the union they are
as yet new to this state. And they
will be for some time to come, be-
cause the show ia esta blishinR a
reputation for itself of being hon.

Quoted, right now, through South

Barbara, San Luis, Obispo and
many other newspapers say that
the show is the goods, az do the
mayors and city officials of each
town. All of which means there is
something new beneath the sun,
and that when you see the show ad
vertised that that ia the one you
read of and that has a spotless rep
utation wherever they have been.
