Hubin in The Billboard, Marc 22, 1902 FRANK B. HUBIN Often have showmen spoken of the many years The Billboard has printed articles encourag ng clean amusements and business tactics in the outdoor show field. It is needless to recount the years successively—they have been cou iinuously. While recently looking in a trunk among keepsakes, Ge rge " Steele, veteran showman of the Sells-Floto Circus and other o iiva ns, came across a copy of The voard dated March 22, 1902. On page 10 of that Issue appeared an article by Frank B. Hubin, now of Pleasantyille (Atlantic City), N. J., with a larce cut 6f Mr. Hy bin. It was headed, “Keep Your Show Clean’, and read as follows: “With pleasure I will write you a few lines regarding the commercial, amusing and advertising value and prominence a city, town or village gains by having a street fair, carnival ibition.

They went to work and apno'nted their committee, raised the necessary amount of lumber, advertising and fireworks display, while we arranged excursion rates and had the town billed for nearly 109 miles on four dif ferent railroads. The Sunday before the fair the shows came, as did the knife boards, caneracks, balloons, popcorn and confetti men, etc. “The people remained over for the fireworks Aisplay at night. They then went home, told friends and neighbors about the great time they bid at the fair, told who they saw there, told atout the shows, brought home presents for theygchildren, and, during the week, they came agiin and thelr friends were there. “Who got the most benelit?
