In fact, the main line tracks cut across the land of the Fair Company near the public road, and it is here that it is proposed to erect a passenger station especially for the Keystone State Fair. Nearby will be sidings and freight sheds adequate to handle the vast num- ber of exhibits that will go to make up the annual Fair. 1€ 1110SC 1 street of the connec- of the NEED OF A STATE FAIR The need of a State Fair for Pennsylvania has been felt for years. Time after time leading agricul- turists and stockbreeders have gathered in Harris- burg to discuss ways and means to attain this de- sired object. A three days’ conference was held in Harrisburg on January 21, 22 and 23, 1913, in which an effort was made to get a State Fair proposition under way. It was attended by Governor John K. Tener, State Secretary of Agriculture, N. B. Critchfield, W. C. Norton of Waymart, Pa., President of the Pennsyl- vania Livestock Breeders’ Association; Chester T. Tyson, Secretary of the State Horticultural Associa- tion; G. G. Tyson, a noted feeding expert of Warri- or's Mark, Pa., and by farmers, fruitgrowers, stock- breeders and agricultural implement people from all parts of Pennsylvania. It was the unanimous con- viction of this gathering that a State Fair is an abso- lute necessity to the future growth and development of Pennsylvania. 1 Fairs central reports grand- sheep, geese, build- pump- GOVERNOR FAVORS STATE FAIR Governor Tener said: “I am in hearty accord with the proposition to establish a great State Fair for Pennsylvania.” W. C. Norton said: “I am heartily in favor of a State Fair, and let it be understood that by a State [Fair is not meant simply a place for exhibit and dis- cussion of what pertains to the agricultural develop- ment of the State alone; not by any means. Every- thing that is of an educational, scientific, mechanical yr other economic character should be included. Not only farm products, mind you, but machinery of all kinds and exhibits to show the development and im- of the State ought to have a place.” be on rough- 1e sea- ries provement Secretary Sandles, of the State Agricultural So- ciety, took up an entire hour discussing Ohio's great State I7air, telling of what it has meant to the devel- opment not only of the farming pursuits in the Buckeye State but of its untold advantages in other States. “The Ohio State Fair,” he said, “not only pays its own expenses but yields a substantial profit. Let Pennsylvania people see what Pennsylvania can do. A State Fair would do more to make farming more of a science and a profitable business than any oth- er factor. But don’t be stingy when you establish your fair, Farmers; don’t be penny wise and pound foolish.” Secretary Critchfield presided and when he called for a vote as to the advisability of a State Fair for Pennsylvania, every one of the 500 dele- gates present voted “aye.” AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE 460,000 square feet of space will be allotted for exhibits of agricultural, horticultural and floracultur- al nature. The display of fruit will be worthy of the great peach and apple growing sections of Pennsyl- vania which lie at the doors of the exposition grounds. Lancaster County, nearby, richest farm county in the United States, will exhibit their pro- ducts, and the Cumberland Valley, just across the river, and the Lebanon Valley on the other side, will all contribute. There will be a Grange building and it is hoped to have the various Granges make collective exhibits in competition for substantial cash prizes... Educa- tional experiments from experimental stations and agricultural colleges will also be arranged and every agricultural implement dealer in the United States will be invited, and, it is expected, will participate.

Substantial, sanitary show places and stables are to be erected and the live stock features will bring together on Review Day a parade of prize winners that will rank with anything of the kind in America. Provision will be made for at least 5.000 animals of large size, not to mention pens for poul- try and small animals in immense numbers. AUTOMOBILE SPEEDWAY CONTESTS The clean, scientific sport of automobile races is the most popular as well as profitable amusement of today. The manufacturers of the world build mo- tors for these contests in which they incorporate ad- vanced scientific ideas, that their improved construc- tion may be subjected to the most severe tests for speed and endurance. Racing a car is concentrating its use; it is sub- jecting the car to every possible disadvantage n the shortest period of time. Out of every automobile racing event has grown a motor car of better and truer construction. Indianapolis, Indiana, has the only automobile speedway in the United States worthy of the name. Contests held on this track one day in each year draw one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and fifty thousand spectators from every state in the Union, and during the first five years of its opera- tion a profit of more than a million dollars has ac- crued to the owners. THE KEYSTONE STATE FAIR SPEEDWAY A two-and-a-half-mile track, one hundred feet in width, of vitrified brick, laid in concrete, together with a fireproof grandstand, seating eighty to one hundred thousand people, will be a most attractive feature of this enterprise. twice eyearly, July 4th and September (Labor Day) will attract hundreds of thousands to five hundred mile national and international contests. Tt is our purpose to construct this speed- the first racing contest on (Labor Day) September, 1915, that it may mark the formal open- ing of the great Kevstone State Fair and Industrial Exposition in September. 1916 T races these wav ior PPEECLOCOREEREOE] ls 1S PNE STAT ES OF PAR, TO BE YOUR FAIR SEND FOR BEAUTIFUL FREE BOOKLET AND LET'S GET BETTER ACQUAINTED FAIR AND INDUSTRIAL Executive Offices Kunkel Building, Harrisburg, Penna. > 0600060000000000EEOEEOEEOEOEOEEEEOOEEEEEEOEEOEEOEOOOOOOOO0OEEOOOEEOORAOEOEOEOES =XPOSITION CeeEEEEEEEEOOOEOOEEEEOOEEREOEOO the plum- softness of of their estifies to the Miss Grace at A, K.
