Every way in which you add new attractions to your town makes for a larger patronage. Every wholesome home activity you support brings you and your townsmen into better comradeship. Every GOOD motion picture you can bring to your city gives a new impulse to right living. Every RECEIPT (of this kind) that you buy will help to do all this. It will maintain a free educational program, (three reels each week) on some regular selected day. It is good for four admissions to motion picture entertainments. It will pay for all rental of films for ten weeks. It will leave a profit balance in your committee's treasury to aid them in becoming braver in bringing to you the best picture entertainment the producers can offer. The surplus prpfits will come back to your home town as "bread cast upon the waters."
