Some come for instruction—to see what the other fellow is doing— others for entertainment; some out of curiousity—but all come for a good time Old-timer meets old- timer; friends renew acquaintances; families make it a reunion—it’s the gathering place of Western Ontario- and almost ’everyone is there. This year will be the ^Ist con­ secutive exhibition of the Western Fair and by far the largest and big­ gest exhibition it has ever held. In the matter „of progress that of the Fair has always been exception­ al, but during the past three years it has been phenomenal. Exhibitis has increased both in number and size entertainment facilities have doubled, visitors have grown to al­ most unheard of numbers until the Western Fair stands out to the fore front of Canadian Exhibitions. Probably the most impressing evi­ dences of the Fair’s progress is the number of fine buildings that have been lately erected. These buildings are fine examples of the latest in exhibitional architecture and include the Manufacturers* Building, the Confederation Building and the Live Stock Arena, all of which will be centres of great interest during the coming exhibition of the week of Sept. 8 to Sept. 15. The Western Fair Board has made arrangements to receive the larg­ est crowds in history and have lann- ed a rogram that does not leave a dull moment during the whole week. There are many things to interest everyone, young and old, and no one will attend this year’s Western Fair that does not profit in knowledge and education gairted through many happy hours, | 0 Every Business Need COME in ana see the new Chevrolet Utility Truck!
