Georgian’s Want Ad Contest Of
fers Great Opportunity for Or
ganizations and Individuals to|
Win Gold, Automobile, Tour to|
California or Any of Splendid i
Prizes Offered by This Paper.!
At half a dozen Atlanta churches j
Sunday morning a group of member* j
gathered after the sermon to discuss \
eagerly a plan to earn $1,000 for the j
church fund. There’s not a church j
anywhere, you know, that doesn't ,
need a new Sunday school room or i
an addition to the parsonage, a bit of j
repairs to the building or a newly I
brightened interior. And here was *
the opportunity to get what was need- 1
ed without drawing on the treasury. |
“Did you see the offer in The Sun- |
day American and The Georgian?”,
was the question everywhere. “Well,
why can’t our church go after that I
$1,000? Or. if we only get second j
prize, there’s $500 worth of furniture, ’
enough for fitting up the pastor’s
study or his parlor. Let’s go in and '
win.” I
Everybody Interested.
Lodges and charitable organiza
tions, chapters of women’s clubs, all (
kinds of bodies of Atlanta men and j
women are showing interest in the j
organization prize offer made by the
Want Ad Man. It was announced
Sunday that a prize of $1,000 in gold |
would be given the organization
leading In the Want Ad Contest, with !
$500 worth of furniture as second J
prize. Before the week is over there
will be a number of entries, with j
members of the churches and lodges
working among their friends. 1
The contest is simple. There is no
gamble, no guesswork Members of
organizations or individual* will see
their friends, secure want ads for
Hearst’s Sunday American and At
lanta Georgian, get ten votes for*
every cent taken in for want ads, and
the leader at the finish will win the
grand prize. The whole city la an
open field, and there is a splendid op
portunity among business firms which
use classified advertising in large
volume.
Individual Prizes.
But organizations are not the only
contestants, by any means. Individ
ual men and women, boys and girls,
are offered splendid prizes for want
ad votes. The leader in any class,
whether grown-up or child, man or
woman, will be awarded a five-pas
senger touring car, the first grand
prize, while the second best will win a
double tour to California—every ex
pense paid for two persons on a trip
from Atlanta to the Pacific Coast and
return.
And besides the organization prizes
and these two grand prizes there are
individual trophies for the five lead
ers in four classes, arranged to giv<
everybody a chance. The first prize
for men is a twin-cylinder motorcycl *
The first prize for women is a play*»r
piano. The boys’ first prize Is a mo
torcycle. the girls’ a piano. But every
body. bey or girl or grown-up, has a
chance at the two grand prizes..
Enter Without Delay.
But it will not do to put off enter
ing. Early starters have the best op
portunity to win, of course. The con
test is open and this week will see it
well under way. Contestants and
those who consider entering should
