The Fair Dates Set.

The Fair will be held at Gree

1911. The organization of the
County Commercial Club assures
us that the Fair will be bigger
ana better than ever this year.
A beautiful loving cup will be
given to the Commercial Club
that furnishes the best exhibits.
Every Commercial Club in Weld
County should strive to get this
cup.
This is entirely County Fair;
the purpose of which is to i'm
prove the products of the county.
Few people realize the good that
comes from a Fair such as is held
in Greeley. People come from
all parts of the country and see
the products raised from the soil,
the stock and the poultry, and
after it is all over, they realize
the pos sibilities and resolve to inn
prove their products. Everyone
in the county should complete for
prizes offered by the Fair. Moth
ing has ever been devised that
will raise the quality of the pro-
ducts of Weld County as does the
Weld County Fair. 1t educates
the people; they see what others
are doing and learn to do it them
selves. and every time a Fair
closes, the people Of Weld Coun-

they develope the county more

White serge has come into it's own
