to Lose by
Entering the Contest.
What ThinK You of Entering Now?
What
is time worth to you?
Asa matter of dollars and cents
what salary will a $376-00 Piano
be during the life of this contest.
(The day is not yet named; but it
will not last so long.) Should the
contest last say for an exanple five
months and you win the Melodi
grand Piano. Your salary would
be $75.00 per month; but should
you miss the first prize and land
the second you get $62.50 per
month.
What
is doing for the contest in your lo
cality? Who is getting all the cou
pons and subscriptions around
you? If you do not secure the
votes of your own community who
will be first to visit your territory
and pick up a pile of votes that you
could easily get for the asking.
You have plenty of time now to
enter this contest and win a piano
or some other handsome or valu
able prize. All to gain—nothing
to lose.
What
of that Diamond Ring?
Would you like to wear it? You
can. Votes are as plentiful yet as
the leaves falling from the trees in
autumn. You can gather in
enough to wear the buautful Dia
mond ring Your neighbor’s cou
pons are going to waste each week.
You do not ask for them conse
quently you do not get them. If
you think of entering this contest
notify your friends to hold their
votes for you.
What!
would you like to have the watch?
It’s a beauty. Have you seen it?
Solid gold—will wear you a life
time. Now just how much effort
will you put forth to win the
watch. If you let someone else
come into your own territory and
get the votes of your friends and
neighbors you can blame no one
but yourself. They are going to
help somebody and will help you
now or later if you ask them. This
watch will be about fifth prize.
What
will happen by next Tuesday
night? Why nothing except the
two ladies who stand highest in
the count will each be given abso
lutely free a beautiful Easter Hat.
That's all. Now if you can pick
the winners of the two hats you
will be a good guesser. Time is
short on this Hat proposition.
Some unexpected hustler may
come in yet for her share of free
hats. Who knows what’s going to
happen on the last Easter Hat
count?
What
have you been thinking about all
this time? Had you thought that
one contestant has an equal chance
with another? Had you thought
that one section has just as many
votes in it as another? Had you
thought that when one contestant

Homer, Banks County, Georgia, Thursday, March 6, 19 I 3-
has secured all the votes in her
own lacality, she should have just
as many votes as some other and
is then ready to go out into some
other section hustling for votes?
What
kind of smile would be on your face
if you just knew that the beautiful
Melodigrand Piano was yours?
Should you win the Kingsley, your
smile should wear a lifetime- Eith
er instrument is worth the price in
gold.
