Why We Sell Season Tickets
You can get all kinds of cheap shows to come to town
with no guarantee. Just let them hang up their adver-
tising and they’ll take the chances on being paid, for they
depend upon catering to the cheap impulses of the crowd
to fill-the house.
That sort of thing degrades, never builds up a commu-
nity. That is what the preachers preach against, the
teachers and parents oppose.
You cannot get the high-grade Chautauqua attractions
we are bringing to town unless you guarantee them in
advance. They are too worth while. Among them are
men and women leading in the world’s work.
