COMFORT ARRANGE
MENT AT THE FAIR
One of the important features of
every place where thousands of peo
ple gather, is modern comfort arrange
ments. The management of the South
eastern Fair Association has' 1 .been
soliciliomi- not only f*r the health of
those who atend the fair, but for their
r onal comfort ds well and it is the
desire of the management that every
one shall know in advance of these
comfort stations with toilets, wash
bowls, mirrors, etc. the use of which
adds much to the enjoyment of the
fair especially to mothers with small
children.
The main comfort station is in the
Liberal Arts building at the main en
trance to the Midway; another station
for the exclusive use of the women is
in the basement of the Auto Building
directly opposite this building.
This place is really the most comfort
able and has a number of rocking
chairs for the elderly ladies who may
wish to go there for an hour’s rest.
There is also added conveniences in
this respect this year in the grand
stand providing for the health and
comfort on a scale unknown at any
other fair in the South.
Pnvs’ Corn Clubs of Georgia “show off” at the Sout’ ca iern Fair,

on horseback. Alongside this big
menagerie is the Wild West of Dakota
Max, the most complete show of Its
kind that is traveling today. Rough
riders, cow girls, bucking bronchos
with all the flavor of the roundups of
the great w r est of the past.
Other features are Etta Louis
Blake’s Superba; Consul the Great and
Lady Betty—those great apes which
have created interest and wonder
wherever they have been shown;
Stella, The Midget City—Jenson the
great Magician—Serpentina—The Fat
Folks Chautauqua—Over the Falls—
The Midgets The Modern Siamese
Twins with an autodrome where Mile.
Marie rides at the rate of a mile a
minute. v
Then there are the rides —the Whip,
the Frolic, Merry Go Round and Giant
Ferris Wheel, with the permanent
attractions of Lakewood Park, wiiich
include the new dancing pavilion,
Giant Coaster, Old Mill, Four Abreast
Carrousel, Bug House, Circle Swing,

The foregoing provides such a
varied list of attractions that they
practically combine everything in the
amusement world commonly shown in
the midw'ay of any fair or exposition
each, being shown for a vei’y small
admission.
SCHOOL DAY AT
SOUTHEASTERN FAIR,
ATLANTA, OCT. 11-21
As an enducational enterprise, the
Southeastern Fair leads all others in
the Southeastern States because of
the possibility of giving the finishing
touch to “book learning” to thousands
of people annually. We may fancy we
know T much about good corn, fine cat
tle, swine and poultry, but many peo
ple will learn that they really were
poorly informed about these matters
until they come in contact with the
best produced in the world which will
be on exhibition.
In order to encourage attendance on
the part of those who will be most
benefited, Tuesday, October 14, has
been designated as School Day when
all school children will be admitted
for 10 cents when provided with a
special ticket which may be had by
any school teacher in Georgia on ap
plication to R. M. Striplin, Secretary,
Box 1006, Atlanta. A special program
has been arranged for that day and
every child in Georgia, who can should
attend.

I had done last year at a cost of $35.00.
Yours truly, FRANK LEAHY.
