SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS
CUTS PRICE IN HALF

The popular priced circus is an as
sured fact
Last season when the Sells-Floto
circus decided to cut the regular
price of admission in half those who
thought they knew the circus busi-
ness best voiced the opinion that s;;cii
a move meant nothing short of in
solvensy. But the management OF
this magnificent enterprise was game
enough to try the experiment and
the world today knows how success
full this new departure has proved
itself to be.
Last year the price Of admission
misplaced at rs cents" said Arthur
Bennett who is here representing the
promoters. 80 far back as the his
tory of the circus goes double that
amount had always been charged AT
| first sight 1t seemed as If it would be
| impossible to conduct any attraction
costing more than 5000 a day TO
operate successfully at the cut price.
But Sells Floto proved beyond 9
doubt that the idea of popular prices
when applied to the circus was no
| idle dream, but from an intensel!
business standpoint was possibly the
our attendance. Still by that time
! we were pretty well immune so fai
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-05-29

wisest move they could have made.
This season the twenty-five cent
price will be In force everywhere the
Sells-Floto circus appears. When we
say twenty-five cents, we mean
twenty-five cents. No more, no less.
Wherever the tickets are on sale this
price will prevail. None OF our en-
ployes are authorized to take any
more. We carry no so-called "ac-
comodation wagons" where greater
sum Is charged. The regular ticket
offices will be open at nine o'clock on
the day of every performance. Gen.
eral admission tickets purchased at
any time will be honored either at
the matinee or evening.
Perhaps 1t would be Just as well
in this place to tell you something
about the Genesis of the Sells-Floto
circus, because we started In In q
small way and for many years were
forced to bear the brunt of one of the
most desperate fights ever known TO
the world of big tents. No matter
where we went we found ourselves
the target of an opposition which left
nothing undone even to the destroy
ing of our property In order that the
name OF Sells-Floto should pass into
history as one OF the mile stones that
marked the many failures in this par
ticular line of endeavor.
at is true that year after year we
came home with very little money
in our treasury. in fact, more fire.
quently than not we faced a very SER
ious deficit. But we always thought
then. as we do now, that some day
or other our patrons and those who
have seen us coming back year after
year always striving to give clean
and appreciable entertainment would
recognize our efforts and realize that
we really had the best interests of
the profession at heart.
Last year, as before stated. we
decided to cut the price In half. II
, we had fought battles before, you
should have seen the lineup against
, us from the time We took the road
last season until we had completed
as fighting was concerned. We were
: seeking an unqualified verdict OF the
great American people and we got IT,
that's the answer.

I'll ihuepeHueht circus' oWiHB dlleBl-
ance to no trust or combination. We

q same line of business. We dom,

Il Now just one thing more. tn,

Elmer Dahlgrin could spare part
of that ver-noticeable trait which

some of this upon Sylvia Harvey.

Straughn which is causing him to be

own welfare be given to Will Breith-
aup who with it might suppress his
inclination to be coquettish, at vari-
Gus times.

visable to leave as permanent trophy
