  The 
  Hershey 
  Estates 
  Zoo 
  at 
  Hershey, 
  Pa., 
  which 
  depended 
  for 
  its 
  

   attendance 
  on 
  people 
  coming 
  by 
  automobile, 
  suffered 
  such 
  a 
  sharp 
  

   curtailment 
  in 
  number 
  of 
  visitors 
  that 
  the 
  management 
  decided 
  to 
  

   dispose 
  of 
  most 
  of 
  its 
  stock, 
  which 
  permitted 
  us 
  to 
  obtain

  interesting

  desirable
