Officers Announcement
The officers of the fair association make
the following announcement
state fairs are commercial builders,
they present to the public great opportuni-
ties for market exchange. They repre-
sent the possibilities of the state, its pro-
ductiveness and manufacturing industries
The exhibits collected yearly indicate the
progress of method and labor, and stimu-
late energies among those who are seeking
development.
Comparison gives a wonderful lesson,
and criticism points TO broader means of
growth.
Hence the public spirit that prompts
the getting together of the peoples re-
sources into yearly exhibition is one of
the natural constructive forces of citizen
ship Wherever you see the lack of CO.
operation, you find business stagnation.
Exhibitions foster that spirit of coop
Grafton and raise the market value of
home products.
Articles for Home Use
with the real purpose of creating de-
mand for Alabama home products the
management has determined upon the plan
of exhibiting for prizes, only such articles
as are prepared for home use, excluding
all preparations of fruits vegetables, etc,
as are executed by the use of acids or pre-
| serving fluids. In fact, we are building
better, more practical and more prosper
Gus homes in Alabama today by demand
ing pure foods for such consumption. Give
to nature the elements conducive to health
and you lay the foundation for energy,
muscle and character. Home is the incu-
bator-from its center are born the facul-
| ties that guild states and statesmen.
| Nor can these occasions be successfully
| founded on the altogether practical; they
must be interspersed with the spirit of
| fun. Pleasure, combined with the real,
will hold the public interest and entice the
crowds. with these conclusions the man
agement of the Alabama State Fair and
Exhibit association has put forth every
| effort to educate and amuse the visitors
to the fair of 1913 to be held in Birming-
| ham, October to IS.
| THE programme will reinstate horse
| racing, not alone for the love of the sport,
| but to encourage the breeding of better
speeders in the south.
Besides this there will be featured
daily before the grand stand high-class
music and shows that you may laugh and
have the world laugh with you, before you
penetrated the mysteries of the Mid
| way "
