bnsiness not only in realty bat in al branches of trade will have been1 chronicled The perennial grumbler is beginning to admit that the Midwinter Fair will benefit some people and he names particularly the real estate men and the builders If it only benefited those two classes directly it would be worth holding and if it directly benefited these classes directly it must to the very nature of thingsbenent many others indirectly as teal estate men and builders are notapeo 1 pie unto themselves The fact is the Midwinter Fair will benefit even the grumbler in spite of himself though he may never acknowledge it Urhbsens 3Vai faf Jteeord says of the Midwinter Fair The effect of our exhibit at the East has been to arouse a peculiarly earnest interest in our State and now that the word has gone out that we propose to demonstrate that what we resented it Chicago captivating as it as been was but the shadow of the reality we may expect a large influx of visitors during the continuance of our fair To make the fair what it should be must be the ambition of every citizen of the State andspecially thoss who hare been blest with prosperity The rich and the poor alike are interested in the success of the enterprise Enough has been assured and already accomplished to satisfy the waverire and convince Yhe doubting This should prompt our more wealthy citizens to liberality oh behalf of a cause that is possibly more in their interest thanrjf many who have already rendered aid The amount of benefit that our fair will be to the entire coast cannot be estimated and it should be and will be a success Lenda hand TRAKSTEES ASn X04KS The business September was 2S4 sates for 875265 Toward these totals the Western Addition contributes forty eight sales for 338030
