1O1 Ranch Real
Wild West Show.


will be here Tuesday November is SO
distinctively different from that given
by any other similar organization that
it cannot be likened TO any SO called
western exhibition that was ever be-
fore seen in this section. 1t is truly
western not only in the graphic por-
trayals but the participants are real
western characters and not of eastern
birth and associations. They have
not acquired the western manners,
but are TO the manner born.
For many years Wild West Shows
have been an important factor in the
amusement world, but never until
the organization of the 10l Ranch
Real Wild West Show was the op-
portunity offered to see the west as
it was years ago and as it is at present.
While other owners of wild west ex-
hibitiOns based their merits on long
haired individuals and pseudo military
titles the lOl Ranch wild west has &C.
quired succers solely on the truthful
and graphic manner in which they
transplant the west of the prairies to
the very doorsteps of your homes. In
other words every day life on the
great l0l Ranch at Bliss, Oklahoma
is lived in the huge arnea of the show
Not only is this a feature that no
other Wild West Show has been able
to produce but in doing it the l0l
Ranch Wild West Show has been able
to bring into play character that could
not be obtained from any other quar-
ter than the ranch, which is owned by
Miller Brothers. who with Mr.. Edward
Arlington are the owners of the Snow.
In other words no other show has the
same source of supply.
In organizing the show for the pres
ent season the same policy that has
governed this show since its concep-
tion was enforced. That was to select
from the hundreds of boys and COW
girls on the ranch the most expert
and thus obtain the very cream of the
cowboy and cowgirl element as it truly
is. Those on the ranch have learned
how this selection is annually made
and they seek to be among the ones
selected. It is considered an honor
greater than any others that could be
bestowed 20 be among those who are
to represent the ranch with
the show. The Indians, who at other
times wander over the plains, have
got wise TO the fact that every spring
there are a number of them to be
selected TO represent the real goods,
and this spring in the neighborhood
of a Thousand of all tribes mingled
with those who wintered on the ranch
in hopes that they might he among
those chosen. Not including the chiefs
Of the various tribes that are with
the show, over one hundred squaws,
bucks, medicine men and Indian child
rem were selected from the most prom
inent and interesting that presented
When one considers that the 10l
Ranch is the Largest Ranch in the
World, it does not require a very
great stretch Of Imagination to realize
that the possibilities to organize a
perfect Wild West show from the
at hand are limitless, and of
such nature as to preclude all
thoughts of any other organization OBJ
tanning them. The fact that this ranch |
IS the home of the show and owned by !
the same men as is the show, gives it
4. ring of truthfulness that none of
The so called wild west shows can |
boast of. 1t is only the truth here to
state that the lO1 Ranch Wild West |
Show is the only one of western origin |
and the only one that has a western |
nome. Every other so called wild west
show engages its people in the east,
Ind those who have homes, have them
east of Chicago. This is why the l0l
Ranch Real Wild West show, to dis
,riminate it from the counterfeits,
lses the word "real' in its title.
