THE CHAUTAURUA GUARANTEE
Made 1t Easy Sailing For Superinten-
dent Morrison.

An unpleasant thing connected with
campaign made for the sale of sufficient
season tickets to insure their coming
another year. The management made
two propositions, one being that they
follow the usual course but in that case
they would put the minimum sale of
season ticket at one thousand. The OF
her was that the business and professional
men guarantee the sale in which case
the minimum would be placed at eight
hundred tickets The matter was de
cided in favor of the latter method,
thirty-seven names being signed to the
agreement with the Ridpath- Vawter
Company. This insures an advance
sale for the company to the amount of
$1,000 without further effort or expense.
1t also interests directly and financially
all persons and firms who have signed
the obligation and at once makes them
boosters for the Chautauqua. While
these parties have assumed this obliga
ton in order to secure it for next year
in a way to relieve those who attended
from being solicited, it does not relieye
them of their responsibility to assist in
disposing of the tickets and advancing
the interests of the meeting in 1911.
Only 800 tickets will be sold at 81 so
APIECE. We give the names of the
guarantors below so that the people
may know who will have tickets for
sale and we suggest that you give your
order for ticket to some one of them at
an early day.
