MOBIKSON
TO THE PUBLIC :
y/jf From' 1823 until the present day the John Robinson Shows have been continu- \vTjA
rfa ousiy on exhibition during tlie renting seasons, ever maintaining their position at Y«gl
fa the liead of ail legitimate amusement enterprises. Three - quarters of a century has yaga
§ passed down the great stream of time since the genesis of this, the now greatest, most VK
/ comprehensive and eminently attractive Show on either side of the broad Atlantic. For wB
" Fifty years “ Oid John Robinson,” the Nestor of American amusement managers, guided A
and controlled the destinies of this superb organization, always in advance of competition, IS
and always in the van where enterprise, novelty, originality and opulence of attraction were \
the points to be reached and to be maintained. !n the world of amusements there was none so ’
exalted or so illustrious as John Robinson; and from the northern limits of civilization on this
great North American Continent to the gulf-washed shores cf its southern coast, his name was a
household word. No city, town, village or hamlet but what was ever ready to greet his show as a
welcome visitor. For the past thirty-seven years I, John F. Robinson, have had supreme control
and management of these exhibitions, and the public will heartily endorse the statement that since
I have assumed the management there has been no retrograde movement, and that the universal
popularity of these exhibitions has ever been maintained and annually augmented. And 1 am war
ranted in the belief that there will be no hesitation on the part of the amusement-loving public in
substantiating the claim that I have each year infused the exhibitions with fresh life and vigor;
permitting nothing to be omitted from the personnel of my companies, nor from the attractiveness
of my collections and the sterling novelty and merits of my ring acts and special features—new,
attractive, sensational or prominent — that capital could purchase, or enterprise, energy and
research procure. It is the determination of the Management to make the present year prominent
