and Western Canada, Summer excursion rates
are lower.
1. Be sure to get a certificate when you buy
regular one-way ticket to Chicago after June 3
or 4 (according to distance) and not later than
June 10. Do not make the mistake of asking
for a "receipt."
2. Present yourself at the railroad station for
tickets and certificates at least 30 minutes before
departure of train on which you will begin
your journey.
3. Certificates are not kept at all stations.
If you inquire at. your home station, you can
ascertain whether certificates and through
tickets can be obtained to place of meeting. If
not obtainable at your home station, the agent
will inform you at what station they can be
obtained. You can in such case purchase a local
ticket to the station which has certificates in
stock, where you can purchase a through ticket
and at the same time ask for and obtain a
certificate to place of meeting.
4. Immediately on your arrival at Conven-
tion headquarters, in the Drake Hotel, Chicago,
present your certificate at the registration desk,
as the reduced fares for the return journey will
not apply unless you are properly identified as
provided for by the certificates.
5. It has been arranged that the special agent
of the carriers will be in attendance on June 8
to 13 from 8.30 a. in. to 5.30 p. m. to validate
certificates. If you arrive at the meeting and
leave for home again prior to the special agent's
arrival, or if you arrive at the meeting later
than June 13 after the special agent has left,
you cannot have your certificate validated and
consequently you will not obtain the benefit
of the reduction on the home journey.
6. So as to prevent disappointment, it must
be understood that the reduction on the return
journey is not guaranteed, but is contigent on
an attendance of not less than 250 members
of the organizations at the meeting and de-
pendent members of their families, holding
regularly issued certificates obtained from
ticket agents at starting points, from where the
regular one-way adult tariff fares to place of
meeting arc not less than sixty-seven cents on
going journey. Certificates issued to children
at half fares will be counted the same as certif-
icate held by adults.
7. If the necessary minimum of 250 certif-
icates are presented to the special agent, and
your certificate is duly validated, you will be
entitled up to and including June 17 to a re-
turn ticket via the same route over which you
made the going journey at one-half of the regu-
lar one-way tariff fare from the place of meet-
ing to the point at which your certificate was
issued.
8. Return tickets issued at the reduced fares
will not be good on any limited train on which
such reduced fare transportation is not honored.
9. No refund of fare will be made on account
of failure to obtain proper certificate when pur-
chasing going tickets nor on account of failure
to present validated certificate when purchasing
return tickets.
