September 23rd Will Be a Red Letter Day for This City The Good Roads Convention, the Biff Sheep Show, and Four-State Fair All Begin on the Same Day Tens of Thousands of Letters Mailed Willing Workers, Who Work For Love, Wanted. These, are buby days Tor the International Inter-national Sheep Show, the Four-stale Fair and the bis convention of the International Good Roads convention. These three big events all will begin at Ogden on SeptemDer -3rd, 1910. F. W. Heirlngton, manager of ihe International Sheep Shr-w. has his office of-fice in Hoom 3 over the Standard office and has Just sent out twelve thousand thou-sand letjers to the sheep men of the country. . Mr. Herrlugton was smiling all over lap-t evening while going over his mail he held in hjs hand a letter tliHf. said Geo. Caven had Just arrived in Now York with 2.4T.0 bead of Imported Im-ported ?hcep from England and promised prom-ised to send 500 of the6 prize winners to tho big show at Og?en. "This makes 2.500 pure bred sheep entered already, a.i5 It Leata the Wggest sheep show held on the American continent lo date." Continuing Con-tinuing Mr. Herrlngton ald yesterday. "Sir, the sheep show will be the big nl traction this fall." This caused Fcicrcr H. M- Rowe, manager of the Four-State Fair to say ""What's that?" The doctor has his office In the same r'Oni and while he concedes that the sheep show will bo prcat, he looks upon it as a part of the Four-State Fair, while Fred Herrlngton insists that the big sheep show will eclipse the fair and that It will be of such a predominating feature as to make a side ahow of all other attractions of the Four-State Fair. Doctor Rowe has juct 6ent out 15,-00,1 15,-00,1 premium books, covering both the sheep show and Frur-State Fair premium prem-ium lists. The fair and 6heep show managers are worklnft In harmony. Fach has promised to -advertise the other's attractions. Doctor Rowe got out 20,000 envelopes with the follow-Ing follow-Ing advertisement printed on the envelopes: en-velopes: THE FOUR STATE FAIR AND INTERNATIONAL SHEEP SHOW. When Fred - Herrlngton saw his sheep show in small type he had his own envelopes prluted about as follows: fol-lows: THE INTERNATIONAL SHEEP SHOW i AND FOUR STATE FAIR. They both dlcfato to the same stenographer and she has to keep a cool temperament In order to use the right envelopes. Doctor Rowe ha3 asked the mayor's permission to put a sign across the sidewalk for two months with the words ' FOUR-STATE FAIR HEADQUARTERS," HEAD-QUARTERS," and Fred Herrlngton promptly asked for a sign clear across the street. These two men are giving all thir time to the sheep show and fair and they will have to work harder than any body In the city for the next sev-. en weeks, as the three big events begin be-gin on September 23rd. Judge Howell, who has charge of the Inter-Mountain Good Roads convention, con-vention, is furniehlns his own stenographer, stenog-rapher, and has just sent out 14.000 letters, containing the official call of the Good Roads convention. Delegates from the 12 inter-mountain states will attend, there will be governors, senators sen-ators and congressmen and a practical demonstration of good road building. Tho work of these three big events are in the hands of Just three men. If each pulls off a successful show or convention tho people of Ogden will receive the glory, but if any one makes a failure he and he Blone will bear tho disgrace. If it's unsuccessful WB did It. If It's a failure. HE did It. |
