It’s Bigger , Better , Brighter Than Ever! You will be pleased when you see what a beautiful place Riverside Amusement Park is being made. And you will be even more pleased when you see how cleanly it is being operated. Riverside Amusement Park is still growing, still in the making. But you’ll readily see, when you visit it, what a wonderful change has been wrought in the last few months. Since last August a force of workmen has been continuously on duty, making for you a playground that will be a real asset to Indianapolis and Indiana. It is a Park you’ll be proud of. When finally and fully completed it will exceed in magnificence many parks in the larger cities and few parks in the country will equal it. Os course, no public amusement enterprise can be so conducted that it will not occasionally meet with criticism. There are some among us who seem to feel that life should be stripped bare of joy and happiness. Realizing this, the management of Riverside Amusement Park is conscientiously endeavoring to so operate the park that the long-faced ones can find no point upon which to hang their protests. You can know that when your mother, sister or sweetheart visits it, either with you or alone, she will see or hear nothing that can in the slightest degree annoy her. See the Smallest Living Mother and Her Baby in the Zoo!
