REHABILITATION,
crosby Opero House Art Association

[From the Chicago Evening Post, Sept. 24.l
1t will be observed by the card of Mr..
Crosby below, that the books for subscrip-
tion to the Crosby Opera House Art Asso-
citation will be kept open for short period
beyond the time originally advertised
This course is made necessary by the ina
bility OF the Association to furnish the en-
gravings-one Of which, ,1oTth The Subscrip-
tiOn price Of a certificate accompanies each
subscriptiOn-ast fast as was made necessa-
ry by the demand and in order to close out
all tue certificates by the day set for the
drawing. That day, as experience has
proved, was set too soon. The printers
could not furnish engravings fast enough
to accompany all the certificates within the
time specified. ...-,I .,.ff.
We take this occasion again to assure the
public Of the entire good faith of the man
agement of this association. If there is
any failure to answer fully the promises of
the advertisements, there need no longer
be any faith iniman. The character of
the Actnary of the Association, and the
financial standing of his gnarantor, Mr..
NickersOn, could not and would not be sac
riticed for any amount of money; and
it will be recollected that such men as
James Ii. Bowen, President of the Third
National Bank; J.C. Dore, President of the
Board of Trade; James G. Fargo, of the
American Express Company, and others
of our well known and unimpeachabIe
citizens, have 'indorsedJ in the strong
est terms iu the public prints their
entire confidence in the integrity of
the management. Whatever may be
thought of this enterprise elsewhere, it is
certain that in Chicago, the home of the
origtnators OF the Association. entire conf
dence is felt that some lucky certificate
holder will fall heir to this magnifcenC
temple Of music, which Is the pride of our
city, and which is at present the finest
Opera House fiji the Union. ~ = 4 ~ Z
The following is the card referred to,
which will explain Itself: .
Crosby OPERA HOUSE ART ASSOCIATION. z
1t has been heretof re announced by the
management that the books of the AssOci-
alton would be closed on September 22d;
but the time thus. limited has been found,
too short to complete an undertaking Of
such magnitude. ..t,,5 .,,.,,s o:,,I
The sales haYe been very large-suffi-'
cient to insure, beyond doubt tbe entire
success OF the enterprise. Had it been pos
sible within the short time allowed, to have
furnished the engravings as fast as they
have been required, thereri is mot the least
uOuDC InaC every cerLl1caCe W0uIu now
have been disposed of.
There has been general desire, howev-
er, to receive the engravings at the tinieof
subscription, and the difficulty Therefore of
fully complying with this desire has mate
rally retarded the progress of the SALE
A portion of the certificates, Consequently,
remain unsold.
The committee agree with the manage
ment that the books should not be closed,
while ashort extension of the time, at the
sfate OF sales, will suiiice TO
dispose OF the remaining certificates.
The subscription books will, therefore,
be continued open for short time longer.
The day for the award Of premia1hs win
soon be announced. arat....
