The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1921-09-30

body connected with that great fea-
ture Of Lubbock's year. The South
! Plains Fair will surpass anything ever
I attempted in this section before, and
! the thousands that will throng the
Fair Grounds Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday Of next week will sur
! mass BY one hundred percent the best
/ day Of last year and the total num-
Der that pass thru the gates this year
/ will be more than three times the
number that attended last years
Fair.
Those are favorable predictions
and like everything else In the world
there are two sides TO the qucs-
tion. The problems Of this Fair in
crease with the volume Of exhibits
and folks - be accommodated A
heavy force o. carpenters have been
OF the job for the last ten days and
a second force were put TO work
| Thursday morning. There is much
yet to be done-in fact the day the
Fair opens there will still be much
10 be done There has never been
Fair in the history Of the world
opened with everything in shape and
ready to 60. But things are in better
shape today--a week ahead OF the
Fair-than they were the day the
Fair opened last year.
