FAIR GROUNDS.

IL you have not already made up
your mind to attend the West Michi-
gan State Fair, you should do so now.
Make your preparations to be able to
have the time to spend at least part
Of the week of Sept 12-l6th in Grand
Rapids on those dates.
There Is not only "a reason" why
you should do this, but there are sew
eral reasons.
Did you ever stop to think that this
great exposition, the West Michigan
State Fair. is YOUR fair?
The West Michigan State Fair Is a
public, not a private, institution. The
men who compose the business com
mittee OF the West Michigan State
Fair and who have the actual man
agement OF 1t are: William II. Ander-
son, president Of the Fourth National
bank; Lester J. Rindge of the Rindge-
Kalmbach-Lodie Co.; Sidney F. Stew
ems of Foster, Stevens and Co.; Robert
d. Graham, president Of the CONNER
cial Savings bank. and Eugene d. Con-
ger. secretary, cashier of the Peoples
known and prominent business men OF
Grand Rapids and give their time and
services to the West Michigan State
Fair without any compensation what
ever. except the secretary. who has
charge of the Office during the entire
year. Every dollar Of profit made BY
the West Michigan State Fair. YOUR
FAIR. 10 Immediately put back into
Improvement Of the grounds and
buildings. A public, itemized report IL
issued every year by the officers Of
the Fair and every member Is fur
nished q copy Of 1t. Any citizen Of the
state may ask for and receive a CON-
piete detailed account Of just what
was done with the money received by
the Fair.
During the past eight years, with
the exception of one year, the West
Michigan State Fair has been a finan-
cial success. The men who have been
responsible for this success are bust
ness men, successful in their own af-
fairs, and who take pride in making
success of everything they undertake.
Without your assistance and patron
age, and that means the people of
western Michigan, they could not have
been successful
The 1910 Fair will be bigger and
better than any fair ever held on the
West Michigan State Fair grounds.
There are larger premiums offered and
more entries and finer exhibits in
every department. There will be larger
purses in the speed department and
better races, and the free attractions
presented during each day of the Fair
will be Of the highest class Above all,
following their former policy, the man.
agement Of the West Michigan State
Fair refused to allow any gambling or
liquor selling on the grounds and
thereby guarantee a clean, up-to-date
exhibition to which you can come and
bring your family, feeling sure that
you will be we'll repaid for doing so.
Do not miss the West Michigan State
Fair this year. There are reasons.
