The poster advertises the Phillips Climation as the successor to The Great Dayton Show, a pairing that tells you the promotion was built on the reputation of an earlier attraction. It is a color lithograph printed by Russell-Morgan Print, with The D.L. Co. credited as creator under the number 1937, and the notes name Phil Sheridan's New City Sports Company among those involved. Color lithographs like this were a main way traveling entertainments announced themselves to city crowds in the decades around 1900, and this example, held in the Library of Congress performing arts collection, shows how such shows were marketed on the street.
