The Lafayette Jahr Markt.

That the Jahr Markt and Festival at Lafayette, week of October sth to 10th inclusive, is receiving statewide publicity is an established fact. Everywhere have been beard only words of praise for it and a well known traveling man in the city recently remarked upon it as follows: "The Lafayette Jahr Markt has been heard of everywhere I go. When my

territory was first arranged to include this city, 1 notified some friends of mine that I was going to ‘make’ Lafayette. Why that is where th 6 e Jahr Markt and Festival, which is being given by the Retail Merchants’ Association, is to be held,’ they remarked, and whenever I mentioned the name of Lafayette to friends at different places they all made the same remark about the

Jahr Markt. I was astonished and when I first arrived in Lafayette, I Strolled out in the evening to see the wonderful and beautiful city where this Jahr Markt is to be held. It was all that had been claimed for it and there are ideal locations for shows and concessions on Lafayette's main thoroughfares, making this an ideal spot for a project of this kind, with plenty of railroad and interur-

ban facilities, giving the visitor plenty of car service in and out of Lafayette. And I know of no better way of spending a pleasant and enjoyable day than at Lafayette during the Jahr Markt, where there will be plenty to amuse and entertain both citizen and visitor.” and thia is the concensus of opinion and argues well for the Jahr Markt Advertisement.
