Chautauqua Promoters

When Chautauqua was started in
Ashland the promoters first had, as
a matter of business, to first get the
people of the town to sign life men,
berships, which would insure them
against loss. These life memberships
were tickets that admitted the owner
to the Chautauqua sessions through
out their life. Many of the loyal
supporters took out these member
ships, and we print the names below.
These life tickets can be secured at
the present time for cost of $25.
