People have learned to look forward to the NEW LONDON COUNTY FAIR as a county institu- their and others’ labors set side by side and contrasted for the betterment of the crops and stock, They like to meet old friends and compare notes and they like to know that the entertainment for them and their families will be CLEAN and WHOLESOME.
