The plats are charts showing

stroke from a red pencil. The buyer
holds tickets of corresponding num

there can be no argument aa to who

The system sounds simple and la
but can become complicated when
several people are purchasing tickets
at the same time for different num

and when they change their minds
after the seats have been marked
off. This happens all day every day
but at the rate tickets are selling,
Mrs. Nelson won't be troubled on
