EACH TICKET.
Admission to the Armory can only
be had by ticket. These tickets will
be sold at 40c. each, but 25c. OF this
will be represented by a coupon which
is to be retained by the purchaser and
can be applied as a payment for that
amount on a Liberty Loan. This
makes the actual price OF admission
15 cents.
or course the majority Of people will
buy more than one ticket, but no mat
ter what the amount OF their purchase,
each coupon Will stand for 25 cents
toward securing a bond; that is to say,
one hundred tickets would represent
$500 and they may be cashed in for
that amount as against the total pur.
chase money on Liberty Bond. Lesser
amounts will be computed in the Same
way. For instance, a man holding two
coupons and wishing to purchase $50
bond would bring to his bank $49.50
and his coupons, which would be taken
at their face value, or two coupons and
so cents would be taken as first pay.
ment on partial payment plan.
The Committee appreciates the fact
that as a usual thing most Maryland.
ers visit Baltimore in the spring; and
1t feels that those in the more Distant
portion Of the state should time their
spring shopping or business so that the
date Of their visit would occur during|
the progress of the Exhibition. 1t will
well repay the journey from every con-
ceivable standpoint.
