THE GREATEST OF FAIRS NOT FOR
PLEASURE AND AMUSEMENT ALONE
BUT TO IMPROVE AND TO EDUCATE ANI) TO INCREASE
THE MEASURE OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
AND HAPPINESS.
Atlanta, Ga— Indications point to
larger aitpudunc* and exhibits at
the eighth annual Southeastern Fair
In Atlanta, October 6 to 13 this year,
improved conditions in the South are
evidenced by correspondence arriving
from prospective exhibitors ami thia
condition i going to bo reflected la
the number ami quality of the dia
plays
Public opinion, so often indifferent
concerning matters of real import
ance, is beginning to give proper rec
ognition to the merits of this great
fair. The Southeastern Pair Associa
tion wiiH not organized for profit or
gain to its incorporators, but solely
for constructive and educational pur
poses. Mon have given their time,
their money and their ability to the
development of this institution, and
not one grain of selfishness has been
behind their activities.
“The true value of the fair," soot
Mr. R. M Stripliu, the secretary and
one of Us founders, “will bo moasuied
by the number of persons who puss
through its gates between October 6
to 13 to receive educational benefits
provided by iia various departments.
"The Midway attractions and
ainußtniciita are excellent. The thril
ling displays In front of the grand
stand are unsurpassed. The horse
races and the automobile races will
contribute their part to the entertain
ment of patrons but one must look
lor the fill's lasting results to those
things that make for individual and
community advancement that tend to
educate. The fair is in itself an edu
cational short term course."
Nature has been bountiful In bless
ing the Southeastern Fair with a loca
tion for its home which is incora
partbif-. The scenic beauty of the
grounds at Lakewood as the grounds
have been named elicited the follow
ing tribute from Mr. John W Kent, of
Toronto, who is president of the In
ternational Association of Fairs, and

Atlanta, Ga. —Johnny Is coming !
Johnny of tbe Jonas family—Johnny
#. Jones, if >ou please.
Everybody ought to know Johnny,
and almost evedybody does. He bus
Aeon here before, and he ia coming
Again with his great troupe of cuter
laiacra to make fun and amusement
foe the visitors to the Southeastern
fair In Atlanta In October.
therefore an emlnontiy qualified
judge: ‘The race track nod the en
tire grounds are the moat picturesque
that 1 have ever seen. After ail, the
breathing space and the beauty of
the grounds are the essential things
when crowds that attend fairs arc
considered. The permanence of the
plant here l another great feature."
The 1D23 Fair will have increased
facilities for handling the crowds, and
tho beauty of the park wtll be en
hanced. The number of graded and
paved drives and walks will 1>
doubled; another entrance for auto
mobiles provided,-which wiil shorten
the distance between the city and
the grandstand arid make traffic con
gestion impossible; a permanent wire,
Iron nnd concrete fence will encircle
the whole grounds with moderniy
equipped gales. All those Improve
ments are well under way and will be
completed before the opening of the
fair in October.
"And do not forget,’’ Hays Mr. Oscar
Mills, who has been president of the
fair for three years, “while the Dia
mond Jubilee, Atlanta’s seventy fifth
anniversary will bo celebrated in
grand style at the fair thia fall, it in
the fair of all of Georgia, of all of
the Southeast, and of every individual
who cultivates the land, who raises
u ptg or a cow or chickens, a fair
of tho whole people, if you please, and
everybody is Invited.”
The Southeastern Fair la fortunate
in having In its active directorate
men who are intensely interested in
the different departmental exhibits.
President Mills Is not satisfied if the
hog and cattle show Is not bigger and
better than ever, and Secretary ,Strip
liu is always looking for new.ways to
train and interest the young people,
while Director 11. G. Hastings takes
great pride in the excellence and high
standard of the agricultural exhibit.
They all co-operate, however, for one
big thing—success.
Johnny has one of the beat aggre
gations in ihc whole country, and he
has never iost an opportunity to im
prove and add to it in every possible
way. That’s his business, and he
knows it. He knows what ,tho people
want anil be gives it to 'em. That’s
the secret of lihs -nccess.
After a round of the Northern end
Canadian cities during the summer
he Is bringing his bunch South again
to meet you at the big fair.
Old King Tut probably remarked
that there was nothing new under the
■mi nud a lot of folks hay? been re
peating it ever since, but Tut died
three thousands years too soon to see
Johnny's 1923 Troupe, and if you are
not a dead one too, you will sea it
this year.
Yea, Johnny is coming. He's al
ready signed up with Secretary Strip
lin to 9e here, and even if ho had not
elgsed he would be here anyway for he
could not afford to miss the Fair.
