Sells-Floto Wants to Sell All of its stock cars, 60 feet long, because we are going to rebuild brand new trains for season 1911. Sleepers and flats have nearly all been sold. Delivery of cars will be made November 15th. Sells-Floto Wants to Engage performers doing acts of all and every kind for season 1911. Those who desire engagements will please send photos in costume, state fully what they do and name lowest salary so that letter-writing may be avoided. Let it be understood that no act is too big or too expensive or can carry too many props, if the display made lends itself to extravagant advertising and makes good with the public. Sells-Floto WantsSideShow Attractions of every nature and description. Suggestions of any kind whether they have been fashionable or if an entirely new idea are welcomed, and prompt attention is promised all correspondents. Sells-Floto Will Have a 50-Car Circus season 1911—expects to prove to its owners that the best and most remarkable show can be given for 25 cents admission and earn plenty of money, because this season has proven it to be so with a circus not half good enough to satisfy Sells-Floto. Sells-Floto Wants for Menagerie animals (excepting Cats, Hip. or Giraffes, which have been purchased) which may amuse or interest circus patrons. Sells-Floto Wants Folks to Write for engagements for 1911 in all and every department, but those who do not want to work or have the slightest idea of graft of any nature in their minds, save stamps. Sells-Floto Does Not Play the public for suckers, but as kings and queens, and all employees are expected to do their best to help make all visitors welcome, have a good time. Sells-Floto Treats All its employees in first class manner and its rules governing are based on plain, simple, common sense.
Performers desiring engagements may address CHRIS 0. BROWN (care Sullivan & Considine), 1440 Broadway, New York City Or PAUL G0UDR0N (care Sullivan & Considine), 67 So. Clark St., Chicago Or H. H. TAMMEN, 236 Symes Building, Denver, Colorado
