AN ECONOMICAL OUTFIT.
The Territorial Fair Association located at Helena is supposed to be the most economical outfit in this or any other country. The extreme economy of the Fair concern is noticed in the stingy amount of advertising it does in the Territorial papers to attract visitors to its annual fall exhibitions. The economy of the Fair company is very great. The manager of the Fair outfit is a daisy economist. He even gets dodgers printed at some sort of a one-horse down East job shop. The Butte Miner, mindful of home interests, hits the economical individual a lick as follows: "We would respectfully suggest to the manager of the Territorial Fair that there are a number of printing offices in Montana where as good work can be done as that displayed on the hangers which are hung up around town."
