ONE OF THE FINEST THINGS
TULSA HAS EVER HAD.

Tulsa's first horse show and
live stock exhibition will come
to close tonight. II is one Of
the biggest events. from the
standpoint Of worth and merit,
that Tulsa has ever undertaken.
The horse shows Of New York,
Chicago. Loncon. Paris and
other large cities are events that
attract worldwide interest and
attention. Nothing any of these
cities have ever had in this line
have anything on the show In
Tulsa. Horses, owners, breed
ers. riders and drivers from
many of the principal stables in
the United States are represent
ed here. The arena events are
the very finest obtainable. In
addition the third most notable
band and company OF grand
opera singers furnish music OF
the premier class. 1t has cost
the promoters over $4,000 to
stage this show. They have no
, hope of financial gain. but 1t Is
the patriotic duty, as well as the
greatest personal privilege of
every citizen of tulsa to be able
to attend mere IN our own CITY
an event OF this superlative
, character. Every man, woman
aSd child should take advantage
! of the last opportunity this aft
ernoon and night to witness at
least one program Of the show.
t, The World has never known
ANYTHING that II can so unrc-
/ servedly and enthusiastically in
dorse and recommend to the
people of Tulsa as the present
magnificent horse show. To
miss 1t will be to miss one OF
, the really great things this city
has ever had the privilege of
, presenting to its people. None
are so rich, and few too poor
/ to take advantage OF it. 1t is
I not only an Entertainment of
stellar worth and merit. but 1t
, is held for the purpose of foster
, ing and promoting an industry
| and a business of the country of
, the first importance and benefit
! the breeding OF fine horses
I and cattle. Let there be n veri-
I table exodus of Tulsa people to
