three days to reach Baltimore, going tickets may be purchased on a date which 

 will permit members to reach Baltimore by December 26, 1908. 



2. Present yourself at the railroad station for ticket and certificate at least 

 thirty minutes before departure of the train. 



3. Certificates are not kept at all stations. If you inquire at your station 

 you will find out whether certificates and through tickets can be obtained to 

 the 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 pur- 

 chase a local ticket thence, and there purchase through ticket and secure cer- 

 tificate to place of meeting. Be sure that, when purchasing your going ticket, 

 you request a certificate. Do not make the mistake of asking for a receipt. 



4. On your arrival at the meeting, present your certificate to Mr. F. S. 

 Hazard, assistant secretary. It has been arranged that the special agent of 

 the Trunk Line Association will be in attendance at the office of the Perma- 

 nent Secretary, to validate certificates daily (9 a. m. to 6 p. m.) from Tues- 

 day, December 29, 1908, to Saturday, January 2, 1909, both dates inclusive. 

 A fee of 25 cents icill &e charged at the meeting for each certificate validated. 

 If you arrive at the meeting and leave for home prior to the special agent's 

 arrival or if you arrive at the meeting later than January 2 after the special 

 agent has left, you cannot have your certificate validated and consequently 

 you will not get the benefit of the reduction on the home journey. "No refund 

 of fare will be made on account of failure to have certificate validated. 



If the necessary minimum is in attendance, and your certificate is duly 

 validated, you will be entitled, up to and including January 6, 1909, to a con- 

 tinuous passage ticket to your destination via the route over which you made 

 the going journey, at three-fifths of the limited fare.
