a barefooted small boy has felt that
he would be the happiest' youngster
on earth if only he had circus all
his own.
George F. Getz felt that way when
he was a lad of on a Pennsylvania
farm. Circuses came to town seldom,
and when they did come Getz often
didn't have enough money to go to
them. But he vowed that some day
he would own one-or at least own
a lot of wild animals.
And now, at so, millionaire,
Getz has made his boyhood dream
come true.
owns His own Zoo
He has established his own private
zoo on his beautiful Lakeside Farm
near here, and has filled it with all
the strange animals he wanted to
have when he was a youngster.
And he keeps the place open to the
public. He even holds big barbecues
to give an added treat to the people
who come to see his collection.

of tigers, a lion, varieties of mon
keys, jaguars, the smallest pony in
the world and what not.
Getz loves his animals. They re-
! mind him of poor kids. He was poor
himself once and knows the value
! of a little kindness.
And he loves people. That's why
he has his informal parties at which
he has fed as many as 10000 guests.
I'm getting too old to go to other
peoples celebrations. want them
to come to mine instead" he says

he isn't much of a hand at talking.
He laughs most of the time be-
cause his dream has come true

burg, Pa. He had to work hard.
He recalls when he first saw a
circus poster, depicting some of the
jungle denizens.
! There was a picture of tigers and
an elephant on a cross-road sign
board.
! "fWhat are those?" Getz asked.
''Tll get some like that to play
/ ixryffh
But wages for six-year-old SO
years ago were not sufficient even
for the purchase of the dog that
Getz craved, to say nothing of a
grown tiger or elephant.
Then came the turn of fate. Getz
rose. Today he is one of the couu-
try's most influential coal mine ope-
rators.
He has the menagerie coveted dur
ing his boyhood and he is sharing
his happiness with the world.
With his two sons he lives be-
tween his farm here and Chicago
driving back and forth as fancy
dictates.
Gave Steeds Away
Some time ago he dispatched
commission to Arabia when the no
tion seized him to have a herd OF
pure blood Arabian horses.
When the animals arrived Getz
gave them all away to friends. Why.
Because his friends admired then
so much.
Il wanted them to have some fun
too," he says
His zoo. and farm are constantly
