In the matter of general amusement
that has been arranged for this years

80, until the end of the last day, Nov.

on the Gladway, and there will be va
riety enough to please everybody.
Many people go to the Fair to take
in the carnival attractions. Exhibits
don't amuse them very much. They
want something that will require no
thought or study; something that will
simply entertain without any effort on
their part And it is this that the
Kline shows will furnish.
Throughout the country Herbert A.

line of business. This is evidenced by

and eNpositions that he attends. His
&hows are constantly in demand, for
tIa various managers know what TO
lNlect when Kline is booked. In Sc

pleased immensely. Last year he was
