INSTALMENT.

The instalment plan of payment has been
adopted as best calculated to meet the wants
of all classes, although our Certificates can
be paid for I'm one or more payments by
those desiring to do so. The advantages
of being allowed to pay for a Certificate in
small monthly payments will be appreciated
by the majority of those who wish to visit tho
Worlds Fair, and will enable very many to
come who. If they waited until the opening"
would not have tho ready money. Another
great advantage Is In knowing beforehand
just how much 1t will cost, and having no an
noyance or uncertainty TO anticipate.
