Get Your Tickets Now.

The attention of our citizens k called to the fact that season tickets for the approaching Chautauqua will not be on sale after the Chautauqua opens, and those Who fail to purchase season tickets b, ore that time will have to pay the single admission prices for each attraction these price, in the az greEate amounting to $.9o Season tickets soli al the reduced price of two dollars are not transferable. and each one can be usei only by the person for whom it was purchased. However. if you expect to attend the Chautauqua at aiL t will certainly pay yot to in vest NOW in season ticket. As may be seen by the program in this paper, the single admission price to hear Sen ator laEollctte i, 11c. The New York City Marine Band Is also 15c, and most of the other attractions are 5oc each. Not only k it much cheaper to buy a season ticket but sense of loyalty to the local business men who have guar anteed the fund required to bring the Chautauqua here, should prompt you to buy season tickets now. because 1t k fact that the gate receipts. after the Chautauqua opens, go to the Ghau- tauqua company, and will not help to make up the amount guaranteed.

People Are Not
Investing

That is all the more reason why investments must
be exceptional to interest them. But capital is loosen
ing up in anticipation of the greatest boom this country
has ever known. 1t is, however, utterly useless to at
tempt to interest investors unless the investment re-
presents something absolutely sound, something excep-
tional, something of big returns and guaranteed future.
1t must be something that will interest the speculator of
big profits and also something that appeals to the con-
sentative, hardened investor.
Such an investment has just been offered to the
public on a tempting basis. Investors are offered the
opportunity to investigate this sound business invest
ment, where assured returns of from LOO per cent to
800 per cent are practically certain but where possibili
ties are unlimited; a world enterprise founded upon a
staple business but branching out into a fabulously rich
field never before capitalized, where the profits are enor-
nous and where there is no competition; an inves tment
in a new industry monopoizing the richest field of the
most lucrative business in the world. Think what this
means!
1t is practically certain that every investor originally
interested in this enterprise will get handsome returns
on their money regardless of the amount invested; re-
turns out of all comparison to dividends earned on any
other safe investment. The small investor of TODAY
will be the rich owner of tomorrow.
This opportunity is offered investors on a ground
floor basis, a basis pursuant OF a broad business policy
for mutual advantage and cooperation, founded upon
the same principle as the cooperative plan of all big
businesses of today. Nothing like this investment has
ever been offered the public before, nor has anything
like this world enterprise ever been Appropriated before.
This you can readily appreciate upon investigation.
Investors are readily taking advantage of this OPP
portunity given them on such a liberal basis. The big
gest and shrewdest men in the country are investing in
it as well as the investor of limited means. The chance
is yours too: Act today before this offering is taken up!
Exceptionally good things do happen along
sometimes. The only way to prove that this is one of
them, The One, is to investigate it. The privilege is
given the investing public of investigating this oppor-
tunity without Officiating them in any manner whatso-
ever. Simply ell out the coupon and full particulars
will be MAILED upon request without trouble or obi
CATION in any way.
