"We Suggest High Speed Film'

Billboard for a popular Wisconsin Dells tourist attraction, The Dells Boat Tours. This is one of the grandfathers of Dell's entertainment - I rode on the boats 40+ years ago when on a family vacation.

One of the stops the boat makes during the tour is at Standing Rock, where a trained dog leaps from a cliff over a 5 foot chasm to a stand-alone rock. (When I first saw this trick, the leaper was a man, not a dog. I don't know when the company changed it's feature.) The demonstration commemorates the world’s first stop-action photo taken by famous Dells photographer H.H. Bennett in 1888. The photograph is titled Leaping the Chasm.
