INTRODUCTION.
The management of the Grange Fall Association have not, for various
reasons, been In a position to send out their Catalogue earlier. Although
so short a time will elapse before the Fair (Oct 8 to 14) they are persuaded
this will not militate against attendance—especially from the class to
which this Fair especially caters, to-wlt.: faumkus—from the fact that
it has been advertised among them for more than two years.
The public will understand that this is unlike most other fairs. In the
majority of cases money Is lost In fairs in order to boom the commercial
enterprises of those engaged in them, or to boom some special section or
city. This Fair Is for the one purpose of advancing the Interests of all
Texas, and all Texas farmers.
While this Fair cannot yet afford to offer the extravagant premiums
given by purely commercial fairs, It can give a guarantee that when it
gives a premium, the award will carry the merit of having been bestowed
by men engaged in agricultural pursuits exclusively. In other words, a
premium by this Fair awarded a plow, wagon, reaper, mower, cultivator,
or other implements, will sell the article by the thousands. The same may
be said of Its live stock and other awards. This is not given as a criti-
cism of other fairs, but as a fact merely.
The Association has made ample arrangements to make this first exhi-
bition a success as to management.
Every department will have Its special Director or Manager: Police
Department; Gates and Tickets; Purchasing Department; Premiums,
Privileges and Space Department; Music and Entertainment, and others.
The dally Programmes wlil furnish variety: Speaking, Music and
various amusements will be so distributed as that each day will have at-
tractive features.
Accommodations will be provided for all who visit this Fair, and at low
rates. Extortion will not be permitted.
People who can come In their wagons will be provided with attractive
camping grounds and convenient water and other privileges free of
charge.
The management confidently expect their two years' work to merely
start this grand enterprise to be awarded the largost assemblage of farm-
ers over gathered In Texas. Let this first be a glorious success—and we
guarantee that every subsequent year will witness great improvement.
