Lot of 2 carnival programs. 1). 1903 program from the Comstock Carnival held in Virginia City. There are several businesses that took out ads in the 64 page publication, including The Delta and The Palace Saloon. There are ads on just about every page. The schedule of events for the three day carnival feature vaudeville entertainment, bicycle races, a baseball game between Virginia City and Carson City for the championship of the state, a children's parade, bronco busting and the election of the carnival queen. The book is intact although slightly stained, with small rips on the binding. 2). Official program for the 1910 Sagebrush Carnival in Carson City, July 2,3,4&5.

This is a 22-page program that features several local print ads for such businesses as the Hotel Arlington, Breuners Furniture of Reno and Kitzmeyer Drug Store.

A sign of the times can be found in a rather racist ad for Troy Laundry Company that discourages the hiring of Asiatic Labor.

The publication is intact with some age discoloration. -58868
