CARNIVAL CARAVANS (Continued from page 148) be quite a success. It represents many improvements on fundamentally profitable ideas, tho composite in this one. The Rubin & Cherry Shows have issued very tastily prepared invita‘ion cards, soliciting the recipient's presence at their ninth annual opening, set for March 24, on Todd's circus lot, Montgomery, Ala. A letter from J. V. Morasca advised that he had signed a contract with C, Burkholder, of Buffalo, N. Y., for the latter to furn'sh rides with Morasca’s Circus-Bazaar Company the coming season. Mrs. J. B. Cullen spent the winter at her home in Renfrew, Ont., Can. She was scheduled to leave there about the middle of this month to join her “‘hubby"’ at the R. & C. winter quarters. J. C. Fields, of Fields’ Greater Shows, expected to leave Milwaukee about the middle of this month for his winter quarters at Ladysmith, Wis., where prepirations for the new season have been in progress for several weeks. We wonder if the “Cheating Cheaters Club” still holds its sessions at ‘Mercury Hall’? “Them was the happy days.’’ How about it, Billy, Harry, Kelley, Lynn and others in the know? General agents making St. Louis this year are certainly going to miss genial Tom Rider's smile and handshake, and the Annex will not seem like the ‘‘home’’ it has always been with Tom gone. “Lacky boys’? and diszu‘sed “°49 camps"’ and “girl shows’’ still ply their trade itn certain isolated parts of the country, but the net is slowly tightening around them and it won't be long until they are gone forever. W. H. Brownell, who has been working on special promotions with Elks’ circuses, etc., in Florida the greater part of the winter, has joined the advance staff of the Dykman-Joyce Shows as special agent. Remember, folks, you needn't get Somebody else to send your news notes to Ali unless you so prefer. You may send them yourself. All items for “‘Caravans’’ should be addressed to our Cincinnati offices. General agents are finding that the public Goes know about the Showmen’s Legislative Committee. One of the first questions asked by many committees is: ‘Is your show a member?"’ Bhow your card, boys! *“Huntres”, sword walker, infoes that he has signed with the American Exposition Shows and is at home in Glens Falls, N. ¥., getting all new wardrobe and a new plush drop ready for his act. When a feller really does need a friend: When a concessionaire fails to receive a ‘“‘shipment’’ and the Saturday night crowd on the lot cleans him out of stock at nine p.m., and he can but look longingly at his neighbor's big supply. Among the early street fair shows to start out in this country was the ‘‘Merrymakers"’, of Augusta, Ga., organized in 1906. Joe Vion, the veteran showman and press agent, booked the free attractions for this organization over a period of several years. George 8. Henderson, last season ride manager with the ©. A. Wortham Shows, has accepted a position as freight sclicitor for the Buffalo & Lake Erie Traction Company, with headquarters at Erle, Pa. Says he is deeply interested in his new work. Jack Rice, of the Lachman Shows, ‘tis sald, has been a frequent guest at the good eats at the home of Harry and ‘‘Maggie’’ (‘‘catrack qneen"’, of the Mimie World Shows) Mahon, and that ‘“‘Maggie’’ and Harry are host and hostess supreme. Charlie Docen, impresario of denizens of the freak animal exhibit of the Greater Sheesley Shows, indignantly denies a report that he will present a “hodag’’ from Northern Wisconsin. After exhaustive research Charile announces that “they ain't no such animal.” Among visitors to ‘George H. Coleman's Indoor Circus, gander the Union Hal! Association at Racine, ia., técently, were Edward J. Beaver, carnival evpply merchant, and Claude R. Ellis, Greater Sheesley Shows’ publicity director, who was vieiting in Milwaukee. A report was that “the re will be no more wheat shows at Wichita, Kan., in which event the date will probably be changed to a civie celebration of some kind. Incidentally, In that city is the abode of one hustling press and special agent, and it dawns upon Ali that “KO", who used to bande like affairs for the é sre*iesy Just another of Parker Playgrow'd Rides, now sellfmg fast. More than twenty Carnivals will carry Parker Miniature Rides this season.. They are safe, handsome, easy to operate and unexcelled money-makers. Cc. W.
