No Circus in Waterville!?

       This newspaper ad from July 6, 1894 talks of "No Circus this year." J.F. Larrabee warns that there will not be a circus but that's okay because you can get all your flavoring extracts at Larry's! Fortunately for the good folks of Waterville, there was in fact a circus that year and this ad was incorrect. The Great Adam Forepaugh Show would be coming to town on August 11! 

This ad reads as follows: 

NO CIRCUS THIS YEAR.

But you can get Flavoring extract for home-made ice cream etc., and bottled soda for picnic parties

AT LARRY'S.

A glass of soda taste best at LARRY'S

Because:

He uses Ingall's Soda.
Fresh Park Farm Cream.
Fruit juice, and Makes his own Syrup.
It is pure, cold, sweet, just right,
5c.

Imported and Domestic Ginger, also for home use. Moxie.

J.F. LARRABEE,

THE DRUGGIST

107 MAIN ST.

All medicines for Summer diseases. Toilet Creams, Mashes and Perfumes.
