This will have the effect OF giving
johnson City new opera house and
will enable us to take care OF the best
shows on the road, as the Home plays
them under guarantee, and the price
to citizens is regulated by the manage

made as low as possible. The Post
Fund takes care Of the guarantee, and
as that fund is made up CT the profits
of the canteen it is naturally very
large.
