fair patrons who will be glad to show
their interest in this years show by
purchasing tickets in advance in good
ly numbers. The idea was carried u
with success two years ago. when over
of before the fair opened. This year
Secretary Bachelor says he believes
$4,000 worth of the admission cards
will be sold ahead of time.
Good Insurance.
The selling of tickets before the
fair is good Insurance." explained
Secretary Bachelor this morning. We
do not like the idea OF going after the
advertisers too hard and all the time
and we do not want to have to go out
for contributions either before or
after the fair. BY buying tickets in
advance persons Interested in the fair
will be boosting the fair and will be
helping the proposition along at the
very outset. 1 think the placing Of
tickets on sale in advance is a very
good idea. The directors also believe
it will meet with popular favor"
Two years ago when the fair tick
cts Were placed on sale before the
opening of the annual county EXPOSE
ton many of the business houses and
the banks made heavy purchases Of
the pasteboards. in many cases OFFER

patrons either as gifts or as premiums
for cash purchases. This year. 1t is
anticipated. the merchants will take
big blocks Of tickets to be disposed Of
in various ways Of a publicity ma
ture."
Everything Lovely.
Secretary Bachelor said this morn
ing that everything is moving along
nicely in the direction Of the biggest
and best fair Grand Forks ounty ever
had. Mr.. Bachelor called particular
attention to the machinery depart
ment which. he said, would this year
eclipse any showing of machinery ever
made at previous exhibitions in North

The fair association is his year do
ing more advertising than before. In
order that every section of this district
be plastered with advertising. several
