DOYLESTOWN
FAIR BIG EVENT

Right in line with its efforts to
give Doylestown the biggest and best
Fair possible the Directors of the
Association have just closed con-
tract with the American Exposition
Shows, Inc, to furnish five amuse-
ment devices and ten big side shows
as the feature midway attraction.
The Importance of this contract can
easily be seen when one considers
the fact that this show travels in its
own railroad cars and requires 20
ears to transport all the show para
phenalia. Included in the five amuse-
ment devices are a merry-go-i and
the whip, ferris wheel, airships
and a sea plane, all popular amuse-
ments that appeal to old and young.
This contract was made almost en-
tirely on the reputation of last years
successful initial fair and this yoar's
good prospects, The American Ex-
position Shows believe that the pos
sibilities of the Doylestown Fair
are great and are bringing in super
ior shows and amusements that are
seldom available TO the smaller fairs.
The ten shows are all high class
and furnish such variety of amuse-
ing and educational features that
everyone will be pleased and enter
tanned. Included in the list are the
following: a Water Circus, Athletic
Show; Dog and Pony Show, Motor
Drome, Freak Animals, Ten in One,
Wild Oats, War Show, Musical Com
edy and Strange Girl. The immensely
of this proposition is brought out
very clearly when one realizes that
the American Exposition Shows
alone will occupy space approx
mately $50 feet wide by 400 feet
deep, in other words, an area just
about 10 times as large as the big
Woman's Building which has just
been erected on the ground this
year. In addition, there will be a
midway which will contain great
variety of attractions of all kinds AT
the night fair this whole outfit will
be blaze of light that can be seen
for miles around. Doylestown has not
seen anything like this since the last
big circus was in town and the Di-
rectors of the Association are
sure that people of this commun-
ity have a treat in store for them.
In addition to this important ac-
QUESTION, the other departments re
port excellent prospects. X. j. Week
erly, Secretary of the Speed Depart
ment, says that entries for the rae
ing are coming in fine and he ex-
poets fine lot of horse racing on
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday
There is a great demand for space
IN the Woman's. Building and local
merchants have already secured the
majority of the available space while
the demand for outside concession
space is increasing daily The Inter
national Harvester Co., cooperating
with N. Buckner & Son, of Dublin,
is sending a big tent, 60 x 20 feet,
and will put on fine exhibit of all
kinds of farm machinery. This same
exhibit is at Reading Fair this week
and travels to Allentown and Tren-
ton before coming TO Doylcstovm.
Many other farm machinery con-
Germs have taken space. The local
automobile dealers are enthusiastic
about this years exhibit and in al
most every case have increased the
size of their spaces over last year.
Many makes of auto trucks will be
shown in addition to the cars.
Doylestown has conctracted a
Pair fever" that should grow into
an epidemic when the dates October
8-9-10-11, day and night, roll
ground. 1t is remarkable that such
a Fair as this could have developed
from such humble beginning got
ten together in six hurried weeks
last year.
