We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Number the left bank with odd numbers: 1-3-5-7-9, etc. Number the right bank 2-4-6-8-10, etc. Number the seats in the center bank, begin- ning with center left aisle-seats, with odd num- bers starting with 101-103-105-107, etc., up to one-half of the number of seats in the row; number the center bank beginning with center right aisle-seat with even numbers, beginning with 102-104-106-108, etc., up to one-half of the number of seats in the row. If an odd num- ber of seats should be in any row in the center bank—i.e., 7, 9, 11, or 13 seats—use one more of the even number plates than of the odd to complete the number of all seats in the row.

The price varies from $2.50 to $4.90 per yard in three-quarter-yard widths, depending upon the grades and colors, figured goods, blues and greens costing 35c to 50c more 82
