Hales Tours and Fig. 8 broke all j cash records. We need two illusion shows 1 and two spectacular shows- This park cost over $1,000,000. I and is filled with beautiful trees, plants, palms, etc. A Signed Tip. I came to England as the pioneer and have had rhe greatest of hard¬ ships proving that the people vi anted a park and all you showmen watched for the result before you came. My advice to you big ones is to come over at once and bring your show. The chances here never were equaled any place. Cities of millions have never seen a modern park show, and the first Scenic Road and Fig. 8 were built in England less than a year ago. Next summer will likely be a hard one in the States, but times never were so good here. I will gladly look after your interests or furnish any advice you require. JOHN CALVIN BROWN. Col. Fred T.
