Remember this great Centenary
Celebration closes its gates on
Sunday.
Described by william c. Free
man, Associated with Paul
Block. Inc. New York, chiea-
go, Detroit, Boston.
Thousands of requests have come
to the Committee IN Charge TO
extend for another week or two
the Centenary Celebration.
BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO
so.
THE CLOSING DATE-sUNDAY,
JULY 1S,-MUST STAND AS Or
IGINALLY PLANNED.
And this is why this great Expo.
sition Of modern times must close
its doors on Sunday, July 10.
Its success-and 1t Is a remark
able success, as all concede-has
depended on the selr-sacrificing
efforts Of many hundreds Of vol-
unteer workers who cannot posi-
bly, remain at their posts longer
than Sunday, July 18th.
A few might remain. without seri-
Gus detriment to their personal
affairs, but BIG ENGINE, such
as that which has furnished the
power for this Centenary Celebra.
ton Columbus, cannot run smooth
ly with great many Of the parts
inactive.
EVERY ONE of the splendidly
Jealous and intelligent group OF
volunteer workers is necessary to
the smooth running Of the Expo
sition-
Therefore, with SO many hundreds
unable to continue, the BIG EN-.
CINE of which they are essential
parts, must shut off fits power sun
day, July 13.
AND so. WITH MANY REGRETS
AND WITH DEEP APPREcIA.
TON OF THE MAGNIFICENT
TRIBUTE PAID THE CRNTEN-
AIRY CELEBRATION BY THE
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SEEN
1T, THE COMMITTEE BOWS To
THE INEVITABLE AND MUST
CLOSE THE GATES SUNDAY
JULY 10.
1t Is a significant thing that on
several Of the days since the Gem
tenary Celebration started-Friday
June 20th-the attendance has
been larger than was the attend
ance at that much-heralded prize
fight which took place at Toledo
last Friday.
WHICH SHOWS THAr-the NIL
lions-the heart and conscience
and real manhood and woman
hood Of the country-stand back
OF and loyalty support the bis
things done in the world to make
1t better-such big things, for In
stance, as find expression in the
more than 10000 individual ex-
hibits displayed at the Centenary
Celebration, State Fair Grounds,
Columbus.
Each one Of these exhibits REP
RESENTS A TRIUMPH for the
grand work dene by thousands Of
self-sacrific ng met, and women In
teaching thNir brothers and sisters
In all parts of the world how to
benefit themselves by adopting
Christian standards Of living and
apply themselves to helpful, con-
structive industry.
Surely you will wish to see these
wonderful exhibits at the centen-
airy Celebration before the gates
are closed Sunday evening, July
18th.
Furthermore, ] arc sure you will
want to feel the same thrill that
so many visitors have told ma
they have felt.
They tell me
THIS CENTENARY CE1ERRA-
TON HAS STIRRED IN Us THE
FINEST KIND OF EMOTIONS,
AND YET WE HAVE HAD A
JOLLY GOOD TIME IN SEEING
THE WONDERFUL THINGS DIS
PLAYED AND HEARING SO
MUCH INSPIRING MUSIC.
1 think an Exposition that has the
power to stir in us our best emo
tions while at the same time de.
lightfully entertaining US, Is about
the highest type Of Exposition,
don't you think so?
Remember, the Centenary cele-
bration continues only four more
days after today. Don't let 1t
close its gates without your see
ing tho matter how far you
have to travel or how much time
It takes, or how much money II 4
costs.
The Exposition itself charges an
entrance fee of only so cents, 70.
all day long, and an extra fee Of 1
so cents II you wish to see tine
great pageant in the Coliseum.
