THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS.
Whatever taulis the West may havo, a want of libe
rality can scarcely be reckoned among them. When,
in addu.ou, w e state that tbe purchaser of evcty share
will receive more than tho va ue of that share In the
ei graving which is linmedia oly presented to him, we
cannot iui believe, short as tho time may appear which
is allotted to the disposal oi the shares that It wi i be
ample to jusilly Mr. t rosby'g friends in their confidence
in public sinpathy, puo.lc taste, and public specula
tive shrewdness.

receive more than the value iu the engraving presented

THE PHILADELPHIA SUNDAY TIMES.
As will be seen, Mr. Crosby has submittal bis plan to
the best men in I'hlcayo. and they vave It a cordial ami
unhesitating endorsement. The plan does not propose
that a lew memheis ol the axsocia Ion shall receive a
tew glui, and the great maloritv noue. On the contrarr
every n ember gets a gilt which Is very uear the equiva
lent oi the money which he Invests.
