The First Letter
The following letters from Mr. La
nier's files nre self-explanatory:
Americas, Ga.. April 19, 1921.
Dear Sit: Inasmuch ns tlie ladies of
the different charitable organizations
of Ameri run have devoted considera
ble time in collecting the various
guarantees for, the Chautauqua and
have never benefited by same, unless
you can see your wav clear to give,
them Ten Per cent (10%) for the
collecting of the guarantee this com
ing year, sale of Chautauqua ticketa
to amount of such guarantee, alao,
concede, in addition the $25.00 rent
for the ground, and on account of
the men not having the time to de
vote to this, wo will have to pass the
widely different?
Mr. Lanier, please give us a chance
to meet our contract as we planned
it and as we so advised the people we
would do. Either go on and asso
ciate yourself with these other good
people on this contract or notify us
that you have withdrawn your un
reasonable clause, and if you can't
nr won’t do that, let us be .advised
that you withdraw the clause, and if
we can get the other one to make
one hundred without you; We may
do so and you wcill neither talk nor
write, nor act in any w,y to hinder
Chautauqua when it comes next
summer.
Now you will admit this is emi
nently fair and reasonable, and
think that it will 'appeal to you and
you will decide to stay with us and
let us bring this big program to the
multitudca of your city that will
otherwise be denied such instruction
and entertainment. Most cordially
yours. HARVEY COTTRILLI

Althongh wo hnvo gotten one hun
dred men to sign this guarantee,
none of them, individually or collec
tively, arc willing to assume the re
sponsibility of collecting same.
Wo think it very much to your in
terest to do this, as the ladies are
very much dissatisfied nnd this will
put them In n much better spirit to
work for the success of the Chautau
qua. In case you see fit to grant
ths concession, they agree to relievo
you of any-othcr guarantee—no mat
ter how much the Chautauqua might
take in at ticket office from time to
time.
This to become a part of the con
tract and to abrogate any conflicting
clause in same.

The letter which you attached and
which you suggest would be a matter
of making the guarantee approxi
mately *200 less, which, of course,
would be impossible, because we
make the same arrangement with ev

From a financial standpoint, Amor
ims ia likewise a losing proposition
for the Redpath Bureau, excepting
the fact that It is in direct line for
the railroads.
We assure you we would be very
glad to accept the contract without

Mr. W. Harvey Cottrell, care Redpath
Chautauqua, Chicago. Illinois,
Dear Mr. Cottrell; You are right
aoine one it seems has to be tht
“goat,’’ and it strikes me that the
women of this eity have been “it” for
a number of years. Do yon suppose
for a moment that all the work I did
to get the Chautauqua for next year
for any personal gain? You
were pat an notice long before the
hundred names were getten that the
women were going to expect 107c and
th¥y are justly entitled to same from
the fact that you could not get the
work done that they do, for any leva.
It looks to ine that your company it
short-sighted in not seeing this, for
to leave the women pleased means
the success of tho Chautauqua every
season. Who is going to do all the
collecting nnd ticket selling other
wise? If your comoeny does not
desire to comply with the- contract
and wants to cancel, it trill be perfec-
ly satisfactory.
• One of the head ladies at the hos
pital told me the other day they never
intended to do another ihlnute’s work
for you unless you appreciated it
enough to allow them something for
same and she thought 107c was little
enough. So do I.
I fcnndidly believe that 907c
those whom I got to sign the contract
did so feeling that I would protect
their interests, and 1 am. satisfied
that they will be “stuck" for their
whole pro rata share if we do not
get the ladies interested in selling the
season tickets.
Am trulv sorry I ever had anything
to do with it, for my efforts do nvt
teem to be the least bit appreciated.
Never again for me. Your truly,
FRANK LANIER.
