The fact that even a mighty two-car show would erect this great stand is testimony to the importance of lithography to circuses in their heyday. It also says that attendance was a local phenomenon---"here." The fact that the paper edges are perfectly horizontal and vertical, and that it looks pleasing also says something about the skill of the men who posted it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-12845973788720692412007-08-21T21:40:00.000-04:002007-08-21T21:40:00.000-04:00Tuesday, November 2, 1909.Tuesday, November 2, 1909.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-69804144307366392792007-08-21T21:11:00.000-04:002007-08-21T21:11:00.000-04:00Somebody ought to comment on that nice 68 sheet st...Somebody ought to comment on that nice 68 sheet stand of paper. Very nicely done. <BR/><BR/>Notice that the name of the town does not appear on the paper- with the possible exception of a stenciled-in town on that one-sheet date up at the top center. <BR/><BR/>This means that the show just got booked (one assumes by H J Williams) and the billposters went right to work. <BR/><BR/>Lots of shows used to work such a tight schedule that there just wasn't time to order paper giving the town's name.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes the paper just said "Here."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-2666418651893316222007-08-21T19:49:00.000-04:002007-08-21T19:49:00.000-04:00Thanks, CaseyThanks, CaseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-13463946458057130112007-08-21T17:08:00.000-04:002007-08-21T17:08:00.000-04:00Culpepper and Merriweather Circus will be in Tremo...Culpepper and Merriweather Circus will be in Tremont, Ill, Thursday, Aug 23rd.
