But it must be pret- ty and conventional, and either so novel or mo tastefully arranged as to serve as a sat- isfactory model. There is no limit to the fnimner of picture's which any competitor may send, nor to the number of the above prizes which he or she may win.

A Most Successful Attraction. -g Of all the attractions which have appeared pft expositions, parks and fairs during the Jast few years, none have become more pop- liar and better known by reputation than pe educated horse, Beautiful Jim Key. At he New Orleans Exposition a year ago, Irhere Jim gave a- show every half hour, as *• his custom, the theater, which held 400 ~ople, was crowded at almost every perform- iice. When the final receipts were in it was bund that Beautiful Jim Key had taken in pore money than any other show on the "-ounds. Jim then went to Riverside Park, •-ultimore. where he was booked for two geeks. He proved to be such a drawing card giat it was ten weeks before he left. From ialtimore he went to the National Export -position, where he made the phenomenal jj-^ord of having over 175,000 paid admis- Sons, aggregating nearly $21,000 in the six geeks he was exhibited. I Jim Key's act is a nnique one; is clean and fefined. which fact probably accounts for the '-eat favor in which the show has been held -/ ladies and children. . |Mr. A. R. Rogers, once a Cincinnati boy, Sit for many years a prominent manager in Hew York, is the proud owner of this intel- ligent animal. He also acts as Jim's man- ?e r - Mr. Rogers is a member of several humane icieties and an honorary member of many lore. He is" an enthusiast upon the subject J all educations and the good influences Remonstrated by his- pet's exhibition. And 5* speaks of these benefits not without cause. Sr in this view he has been supported by Jany leading papers and Boards of Educa- r)D. ' In our own city of Cincinnati two years :go they closed-the schools, as they have fnce in many other cities, to send the chil- i-en to see the. wonderful horse. IMt. Rogers will show Jim Key the coming iason at large Yairs and parks.. Kext season |m will be seen in a building especially fected for him at the Fan-American Expo- tion. I»oint; Secretary. J.

IlThe officers of the Northwestern Indiana |?air Circuit, composed of the Counties of Pjake, Porter and La Porte, met at Valpa- ,*iso and reorganized with the following offi- prs: President, W. C. Letherman, Valpa- tWso; Vice President, Edward Laws, Crown " f~1? Distributing as a Medium of Advertising. iJistributhig from house to house, or from ;,;iml to hand, has long since been recognized U\ all expert and judicious advertisers to be ,.'ur of the best methods extant. Distribution will bring quick returns, perhaps more rapid sliati any other method, except it be the post- ing' of bills on a large scale. Those who can 1.in post bills in the cities on a large scale had best stick to distributing and sampling until they have grown to such proportions that they can afford to issue an eight-sheet in- larger poster, and then combine them, using both the distributing and the bill post- ing. Dill posting has been reduced to a sci- • inf. The stands are numbered, and a list Riven the advertiser, where he can..verify «-vfry sheet of paper contracted for, so there is 110 possible loop-hole for dishonesty on the part of the bill poster. It .is also very grati- fying to be able to state that the matter of distributing is very rapidly approaching a -similar position. The International Associa- tion of Distributors has an organization of which we. the members, are, and should be, justly iiroud. A few of us only a few years :igo felt the necessity "of inspiring confidence with the advertiser in regard to sending the matter for distribution to the local d:£tr.butor instead of sending it with their own indi- vidual traveling men to be distributed by them. .Vow. I am proud to say, nearly all the ad- vertisers in the country are doing what dis- tributing they have through the-I. A. of D. members. We are not perfect yet, nor do we claim to be, but we are nearing that end rcipidJy. as we are weeding out all who have proved unfaithful. We do no "whitewash- ing," as we play no favorites. It has been my most unpleasant duty during the past two years to vote, as an officer of the asso- ciation, to expel some of my friends, who have had charges sustained against them. The ax will surely fall on all alike, be they high or low, when the welfare of the asso*- ciation is at stake. The advertiser needs the best service now, more than ever. Competition is growing keener ever}' day. The price of paper and ail kinds of printing material have nearly doubied in price. Distributors who have work entrusted to them should be the verv soul of honor. By not doing what they contract to do. thoy not only steal the advertiser's money, but they steal his confidence and destroy his opportunity of reaping the harvest in the territory in which they have been paid to sow the seeds. The cost of paper has increased nearly double since the paper trust has been in existence, therefore the cost of distribut- ing a city is quite an" item now, and if dis- tributing does not bring returns commensu- rate with ether mediums, the distributor will lie the loser, for the advertiser will seek some other avenue of advertising to bring his products before the public. Distributors should never, under any circumstances, take work at a price that they can not make a profit, and do the work thoroughly and hon- estly. If a prospective customer Insists on cheap work, it is far better to let your com- petitor have it, for the work will not give satisfaction and you will eventually get it at a price that will justify giving efficient and honest service. We have found boys, as a rule, very un- satisfactory, therefore do not employ them, using men 011 everything we distribute, re- gardless of weight of distributing matter or price received for it. There is no distributing under the sun that can be placed for less than $1.30. per thousand, and where it is weighty $2 and over should be paid. These prices refer only to cities. Small towns, where only a small amount is used, will have to re- ceive more. , it is not so much a question of how much they will pay, as it is of having the work properly done. You can keep a watch-dog and lock and bolt your doors against the busy burglar, but there seems to be no absolute protection for the advertiser who wishes to make a thor- ough distribution, except the safeguard which is thrown around him by the full indemnity bond of the International Association-of Dis- tributors. F. M. GROVES, Mgr. Evansyille Bill Posting & Dist. Co. will be held. This has been the best pay- ing of all parks in Baltimore. The won- derful horse, beautiful Jim Key, played to ciowded houses in the large casino last season for ten weeks, giving five per- formances a day. Mr. Albert A. Rogers, of New York, who is known as one of the most successful managers of the day, is to have charge, and under his able man- agement the midway can not help but be a success. A Letter from Paris. Receiver Appointed. The East St. Louis (III.) Bill Posting Company is now figuring in the courts. A rereiver has b*en appointed. Servie Sil- versparre, nephew ot' K. J. Gunning, will serve in that capacity Charles Bernard nowSoleOwner. Charles Bernard recently bought out the F. C. Fuller Bill Posting Company, in Charles- ton, and is now the sole owner, although there is no change in the name of the firm. The office, however, has been removed from its old location to 152 King street, and A. Donnell is in charge as local manager. E. W. Walker. AVe present as a frontispiece this month a portrait of Mr. H. \V. Warner, tiie well-known proprietor of the bill posting plant at Detroit, .Mich. He has been a prominent figure in the bill posting world for a number of years, and is at present the first vice president of the Michigan Bill Posters' Association. Mr. Walker s plant has always been spoken of as a model one, and his large business has been built up by his own energy and perseverance. Mr. Walker has recently been granted the I. A. of D. franchise for his town, and will no doubt prove an enthusiastic and influential member of the association. Riverview Park, Baltimore. Riverview ParR, Baltimore, is to have a three n:onths* midway. The-only park in this great shew city that has a 5-cent car fare, situated on the river, but a short ride from the heart of the city and run by the Street Railway Company; beautifully situ- ated, crowded every day, often 25,000 and more a day; lit up by over 10,000 electric lights; a large casino to be in the mid- way, a big switch back, one of the largest merry-go-rounds in the State, and all the latest up-to-date arrangements make it an ideal park- This will be a big opportunity for first-class shows and attractions. The finest free attractions will be engaged; fireworks once every week. A large base- ball park is being erected on the grounds, where all the games played iu Baltimore J. H. Bell, Staunton, Va., in a letter to "The Billboard,** expresses himself concern- ing the I. A. of D., as follows: "I have been a member of ten or more distributors* asso- ciations, and none have ever been of the same benefit to rce as has the I. A. of D., of which I am a charter member. No money that 1 pay out do I give as freely as the dues of the association—which, compared with the great benefits we receive, are merely nom- inal. J. E. Campos, of Savannah, Ga., writes that an unusual, active condition of business, es- pecially among advertisers, exists in Savan- nah, and be predicts that the year 1900 will show the best record in the amount of out- door advertising ever experienced in Savan- nah. It is difficult to handle all tbe business, and nr.merous new firms have gone into the territory to introduce their goods, and all seem ready to supply a liberal quantity of advertising matter. What is more, they want Association service. To the Editor of "The Billboard:** r No doubt your readers will be pleased to ' hear of what the showmen are doing at the> coming Paris Exposition. Most alt the?! buildings are nearing completion, although" they certainly will not be ready for the ad-^ vertised opening day, April 14. The f.air£ will be oftieially opened on that day, how- a ' ever, and admission charged to the grounds..! The United .States Building is nearly corn-^ pleted, and compares favorably with the State l ( buildings of other countries, as does also t its space arrangements for exhibits in theA several buildings where we will show thep world what we can do, and have done. f Among the largest and most beautiful^ buildings for show purposes are the "Tour < de la Monde," "Celestial Globe," "Miorama,"* "Palais de Costume," "Tenice in Paris,** **Lal Vieux, Paris," "Palais de Optique," and the', "Swiss Village," each of which represents^ an investment of several million francs. Of* course, none of them are as yet open, it*; therefore being impossible to judge of their*, merits as money-making propositions or ar- tistic successes. »* Among other attractions—which, by the*, way, are erected very expensively, with ex- ceedingly artistic fronts—are: "Bon Homme* Guillame," (a marionette show); "The Houses Upside Down," "Danse des Nations," "Ta-t bleaux Vivants," "Maison de Rire," "lies,, 1 Auteurs Gales." The Andalusian Village and; Theater. Dahomey Village, Algerian Streets,*; Tunis Village and the Transvaal Mining, Camp, Chinese Theater, Japanese Theater*? and the ''African's Jubilee," owned by S.ji C. Haller and Mark L. Stone. f l The attractions outside the grounds are; very numerous and costly, in some instances* whole blocks of buildings having been torn : 4 down to make room for them. There is "L%* Pyramide des Egypt," "Oracle d*Isis," "The,* Falls of Niagara,** a very beautiful creation^? "Mount Vesuvius," "The Combat Naval,"£ "Panorama Madagascar,** "MaTchand*s Mis-,.' siou.** "Revolution of the Empire Pano-j rama," "Campes des Nations," and **Za2a,"*^ (who is a very mystical miss), the rights ot* which for America have beeu secured by Mr. I S. C. Haller, who will probably be the first to exhibit one of the new Paris attractions'- in America, as he intends to send it over at§ once. *t Paris is filling up very rapidly with Amer-"> ican showmen and exhibitors; also with peo- t pie who have things to sell. The Parisians',, are not overlooking any opportunity to get' our money, and raised prices for everything^ is the general thing all over town; in factw an American is a good thing for the hotels*- and shopkeepers, and a man who can't "Par-? lez Vous" is in the consomme. 1 M.
