Redpath Chautau-
qua This Week
5-Day Feast of Good Things Begins
Thursday Season Tickets Dirt
Cheap.
ADVANCE MAN OFFERS
MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE
v The Redpath Chautauqua, the
biggest and best in this country, opens
a big five-day engagement here next
Thursday and pennants, window
cards, and newspaper advertising are
heralding its coming.
The advance man, Mr. C. J. Stout,
J T7. J J 1 .L '
arrived Friday and hopes to enlist the
services of every man, woman and
child in a' high-powered campaign to
raise the money which the public
spirited business men of Lumberton
have pledged to bring this splendid
organization here. He asks no one
to gamble on his statements in re-
gard to the program to be offered. If
any one holding a season ticket de
cides that anyone of the performances
is not worth the entire price of the
season ticket he can get his money re
funded without any question asked at
the gate. He will put this statement
in writing for any one desiring him
to do so.
Every man and woman on the pro
gram is a star professional perfom
er with years of experience com
peting against the best in the music
and lecture world in this country and
is sure to delight the people of this
community.
Mr. Stout feels there is no doubt
whatever that the people will be ex
tremely enthusiastic about the pro
gram before the week is half over be
cause of a similar reaction in the
forty other towns already covered
this season in Florida, Georgia, and
South Carolina.
Every town ha8 been so well pleas,
ed that despite the financial depres
sion it has rebooked with 'extreme
enthusiasm for the following year.

On the opening day the full quota
of season ticket, had been sold and a
check in full turned over to the. Red-
path Bureau and definite arrange

Judged by the crowds at the tent
