Issue Prospectus
In prospectus issue a few days
ago by the Blue Ridge Township
Fair Association, under the able
guidance of one of the livest cit
izens in the county, the secretary Of
the association, Mr. E. B. Freeman, as
sisted by one who should be given
most of the credit of the success of
the last fair held at Dana, Jonathan
Case, this association is now beginning
to work on the fair to be held this
fall. NJ
Dana is ideally located for about
half the people of the county to attend
the fair Located in one of the richest
farming sections in the midst of some
of the farms owned by the leading cit-l
liens of the county there is no reason
why the fair should not be great
deal more successful than before.
City VIII Help.
The merchants of the city are ready
to aid in any manner to help this fair.
They realize that their future business
is dependent upon a large share of the
trade of this section of the county. The
good accomplished on account of the
fair held two years ago has not died
out in the Ridge section and today
they often speak of the various prize
winners shown during the two days Of
exhibition.
The ladies of the Blue Ridge town
ship and adjoining territory are busy,
just as busy as the men folks in max
ing this years fair "whopping" sue
cess. The ladies society exhibits at
the last fair in Dana were in one of the |
leading departments of the fair and
their rivalry in flowers, jellies and
cakes marked intense interest during
the events.
Since the fair of 1911 Dana has
come into particular prominence to
the outside world on account of the
mammoth canning plant located in the
heart of the little town. The Ottaray |
Canning Company Uimite0 has
$4,000 establishment running full
time and turning out as many canned
goods as any plant of it's size in the |
world. It is said that this plant is one
or the best arranged canneries in the
country, Today there are being built |
two large granite warehouses to hold
the supplies made from this plant !
every season. Hundreds Of young |
girls find good wholesome employ
ment here during the season.
MIR. Case Talks.
In conversation with Mr.. Jonathan
Case, of Dana, he said, I'VE are going, |
to have one of the finest fairs this fall
ever held in Henderson county. The |
people of Hendersonville have taken
an interest in us during the past and
we expect them to help us with this
fair. We want to give our assistance |
to the fair which is proposed for the
city of Hendersonyille, should they
have one and you will find the people |
from the Ridge there with the goods.
In fact the date of the fair at Dana |
will be largely governed by the date |
set for the Hendersonville fair, al
though it is stated that the Blue Ridge
people desire to hold their fair when
the crops are gathered after Nov. 1st. |
A premium list and catalogue will |
he issued some time soon announcing |
the premiums 1t is thought that !
nearly $500 will be given in prizes this |
year.
