Politeness to
All Is Ambit ion
Park Manager Tries to (lom
i bine Courtesy With Firm
ness, With Idea of Mak
ing It Pleasant for All.
Roams of copy have been written
on the psychology of a mob—of how
a mob thinks and why people do
things in a body which they would
or would not do alone.
Tho manager of an amusement
park has the intricate little job of
dealing with people in groups and
singly, at one and the same time.
He must have his park and its at
tractions in such shape that it has
an individual appeal to each and
every visitor, and at the same time
he must keep in mind the problem of
mass psychology and how the events
of each and every evening are going
to appeal to the big masses of peo
ple gathered there.
Democratic though he may claim
to be, the average man in a public
place likes to be welcomed with a
smile and treated with just a little
' more than mere politeness. He
realizes that he is a “paying guest”
and believes that it is the duty of
park employes to put themselves
out for him, even though his wants
may be a little outside of that em
playe's regular duties.
The spirit of courtesy is just a
little in advance of what the guest
expects in a well regulated park.
Nothing that can be done to make
the visitor feel the place is his, is
neglected, and the manager would
at all times rather that a visitor im
pose on the park, than have any
one go out feeling that he or she had
not been accorded the proper re
spect.
So a nice balance of make every
one feel at home—and at the same
time see that no one else’s fun is
spoiled by a few, is the goal for
which all employes strive.
Out-of-Town Excursions
Bring Thousands Weekly
Out-of-town excursions have be
come quite the thing during the
last two years and never a Sunday

several thousand out-state patrons
who come in groups of a hundred

pleasures.
This season a number of cities
within a 76-mile radium of Omaha

The happy smile on nil these faces is sufficient proof of the fun to be had on the many rides. Above are shown a few of tha
park’s rides—the whip with its cargo of four happy youngsters squeezed into the big “tub;” the captive aeroplane, and a close-up of
some young folks enjoying the frolic. In the upper left corner are four people starting on a ride through the tropical scenery in thn
Swanes river.
