Uncle Sam and His Boys. This stirring and patriotic number shows the familiar figure of Uncle Sam in heroic size. Under his protecting arms stand his two sons, a soldier and a sailor. Two flags fall from his arms and drape them with their folds. What more fitting for a Fourth of July celebration? 65. The Flying Eagles (6 in number).

These arms of fire revolve very slowly, passing each other in their travels, creating a most beautiful L.nd novel eifect. 68. Statue of Liberty. We make a perfect reproduction of this famous figure in fire. Its outline covers 200 square feet, and its height nearly 30 feet. The large majnejiun torch, which it holds aloft, lights up th? surroundings like mid-day. It is one of the best liked numbers in fireworks. 69. Yellowstone Geysers.

The entire set piece is encircled by a rim of blue and gold, making a fitting companion to "OLD GLORY." 72. Steamship Siren with Flashlight Signals. This is a new, surprising fireworks novelty, and one of the most amusing ever made. It is a massive set piece 20 feet in diameter, fitted with 7 large wheels that revolve around an everchanging center. During their revolution they whistle and groan in a very amusing manner. Their display closes with a series of blinding flashlights. This device never fails to please. 73. Progress in Fire. The first number shows an Indian of heroic figure, 20x20 feet, leaning on his bow, while in vision passes before him the past and the future. He sees his happy hunting ground gradually transformed Into the horns, the arts and the industries of the on-coming pale face. The first to rise out of the forest is the rude home and trading post of the trapper, a log cabin 10x15 feet, and as a companion he visions its modern offspring, a skyscraper. Then he sees industrial progress. A backwoods blacksmith shop is transformed into a modern factory.. This panorama of progress will extend from 200 to 400 feet, according to available space. "No longer monarch of the scene. He looks with sad prophetic eyes. And sees where once his realm had been The modern city in its grandeur rise." 74. Lincoln's Carriage and a Studebaker Limousine. Following close upon the ox-cart and the covered wagon come the horse drawn carriage. Splendid equipages are still remembered by us all. The subject of this number on our program shows the carrige of our lovingly remembered president. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, and a 1921 Stüdebaker Limousine. ; 75. LaSalle at the Miami Treaty. Two hundred and forty years ago the intrepid French explorer met at the town of the Miamis and there formed a treaty. The scene was worthy of a great artist. This number on our program is taken from a historical painting showing LaSalle and the Miami Chief in Council. 76. The Falls of St. Joseph. When all of noi thern Indiana and Michigan was a wilderness, the St. Joseph was a mighty torrent in spring time and its falls a sublime spectacle. This number shows a solid sheet of aluminum fire which in falling has the appearance of glittering water. The particles of glittering fire, as they strike the ground, splash the earth in a jsilvery mist that produces a realistic reproduction of the mighty cataract. 77. The Tempest. An arenic display of exceptional beauty. Jewelled ejectors are arranged at intervals of 50 feet, interspersed with aerial batteries which form a curtain of vari-colored fire 50 feet in height and 400 feet in length. 78. The Stars and Stripes- A large set piece displaying in colored fire "OLD GLORY," so arranged as to appear to be gently waving in the breeze. It is flanked on either side by saluting batteries paying honor to the flag of our country. She's up there Old Glory no pirate dealt scars, No blur on her brightness, no stain on her stars, The brave blood of heroes has crimsoned her bars, She's the flag of our country forever I" 79. Grande Finnic. A Grand Finale that eclipses any display of pyro-technics ever devised, producing in realistic effects numerous aerial bouquets of beautiful pyro-flowcrs, suspended from brilliant streamers of fiery multi-colored stars, followed by a heavy barrage of vivid flashlight and comet-like effects, interspersed with the thunderous reports of mammoth batteries and the final grand aerial salute filling the entire heavens with a multitude of "OLD GLORY" stars, terminating with tremendous detonations. A number that has no equal for its brilliancy and originality of conception and will forever be remembered by your audience as the most beautiful pyro-technical spectacle ever witnessed. 80.
