IT ALWAYS WINS When you go into John Smith's place' You will find a smile upon his face; Whether you're after thread or cheese, You will find he always tries to please, And if you are but a little child, You will find his voice is soft and mild, And some way you will know that he Is the kind of a man he seems to be. For John Smith always seems to know Just what you want and he will show His stock of goods and will help you choose The kind of things that you can use; And if, perchance, you cannot find Just the style you had in mind, You will never see him scowl or frown When you say you'll try the stores in town.

So John Smith's store gets most the trade, And business grade; is on the upwarc He has learned thru years of watchful care That people like a man who's square And who always wears a cheerfu smile, Willing to stop and chat a while; He knows a smile is a store's bes friend, And always pays well in the end.

This year, for the first ime, the fair will extend over a leriod of sixteen days. The attend- ince reached 350,000 in the ten days ast year. Preparations are being made for over half a million this fall. Replete with additions, innova- ions, the event will be bigger, more pectacular and more alluring than ever. In the past months, over 20,00 trees and shrubs have been jlanted in further beautification of he 175-acre exposition park.

Fifty more acres of land have been secured to increase the facilities of the jrounds. Thirty thousand individual exhibits valued at $15,000,000 will compete for the fortune in prizes.
