Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 August 1901 — Not Like Other Circuses. [ARTICLE]

Not Like Other Circuses.

The Great Wallace Show, which will exhibit here at an early date, is unlike other shows-in many re spects. People who absent themselves from the Wallace Show be cause they have seen some other circus are using very poor discretion. The fact that all books are books does not make the books alike. The fact that all cars are cars does not make all cars alike. Some are so much superior to others that they are not similar except perchance in shape. So it is with the Great Wallace Show. It gives an exhibition under a canvas, but that is about the limit of its similarity to other shows. Its superb equipment, its “finest horses on earth,” and its concert bands of best musicians, its waterproof canvas, its rich harness and trappings, its score of original clowns, and its hundred of the highest salaried performers to be found, all co to make up a magnificent show that places the Wallace Circus in a class entirely by itself. Every year thousands of people attend the Wallace Shows who do not pAtronize others This in accordance with the well founded conviction chat the Great Wallace Show’ is well w’orth seeing because of the host of novelties seen with it that are not to te found elsewhere. By appearance of the street parade which is so much richer, costlier and more gorgeous than anj’ other -of like character, the truth of the assertion that tlie Great Wallace Show is different from others is impressed upon the public. After a visit to the Million Dollar Menagerie, and after witness ing a great performance bj- all star performers and well trained animals, the public in each community visited by this show’ has nothing but unstinted praise for the Wallace Show since it exhibits all it advertises, and fulfills every promise. This latter fact alone is sufficient to put the Wallace Circus in a class by itself. The Great Wallace Shows will ex hibit one day only, afternoon and night, at Rensselaer, on Tuesday, August 27.
