• _
All Expenses of a Six Weeks’ Tour to be Borne by this Paper—Scotland,
England, Holland, Belgium, France and Canada to be Visited by Party
Which will Have Personal Conductor===The Most Stupendous Offer
Ever Made in the History of Journalism in Augusta—Absolutely Un
parallelled for Liberality—Mammoth Competitive Voting Contest by
Which the Public will Decide who the Fortunate Young Women are to
be is Inaugurated by The Herald.
Fifteen women of Augusta and vi
cinity are going to take a grand Edu
cational Tour of England, Scotland,
Holland, Belgium, France and Canada
with all expenses fully paid from the
moment of their departure from Au
gusta to the time of their return to
Augusta over six weeks later!
Think of this! The realization of
the dreams of a lifetime to fifteen wo
men. A personally conducted tour to
the famous and most interesting parts
of the Old World. All arrangements
for a thoroughly enjoyable trip made
in advance —an experienced guide or
conductor to see that the arrange
ments are carried out and to look after
the interest of the tourist, and a chape
rone besides.
Arrangements All Perfected.
We have already perfected com
plete arrangements and not a single
item of expense that would add to
the pleasure or interest of the tour has
been overlooked. Our arrangements
were made with Thos. Cook & Son.,
the foremost tour conductors of the
world. People who have made a study
of every condition of European travel,
and whose seventy years’ of experience
eminently fit them for satisfactorily
handling such a tour as we have pro
vided for.
*
But One Thing Now Remains.
Who will be our guests? We could
select hundreds, but we can not take
them all. If we could we would be
accused of showing partiality by the
public. To determine in the most sat
isfactory manner who are to be our
guests, we have decided to put the
matter squarely up to the people of
Augusta and vicinity. Readers and
non-readers alike are asked to aid us
in making the decision as to who these
fortunate young women will be.
A Mammoth Voting Contest Will
Determine. t
With today’s issue of The Hemld is
inauguarated a Mammoth Voting Con
test —not a “Popularity” nor a
“Beauty" Contest, but a competitive
Voting Contest in which everyone is
asked to take a part. A legitimate
Voting Contest in which the personal
efforts of those entered as contestants
and their friends will determine their
success.
For general scope and extreme ela
borateness this offer finds no parallel
in the history of modern journalism,
outside of'the larger metropolitan cen
ters, and there is every reason to be
lieve that by the time the contest Is
well under way It will have arrested
the attention and interest of this en
tire section.
Who Will Be Our Guests and How.
Every white woman over 15, and liv
ing within the territory prescribed by
The Herald, who is of good character,
THE AUGUSTA SUNDAY HERALD

been divided into fourteen equal dis
tricts and the woman residing in each
district who receives the largest num

THE best IV
TO SEE EUROPE
Unquestionably the way to see Eu
rope under the most favorable cir
cumstances is a Cook Tour. The fact
that Cook Tours are used by those of
almost unlimited means who travel for
more tlifti the mere social prestige
that foreign travel gives is indubitable
proof' of this. And the woman who
will may have such a trip through
Europe six weeks of unalloyed pleas
ure without the expenditure of a
penny, for a little worl/ of a most con
genial sort. Hurely such a prize la
worth striving for—worth your atten
tion, worth your beat efforts. If you’re
going to win it won’t be amiss to re
mark again that your chances of suc
cess will lie immeasurably helped by
an early start.
There will not be a dull moment,
not a second without pleasure on this
unequalled tour. Not a mere party
of sightseers, but a congenial, merry
crowd of young ladles who, as they
are transported from one place to an
other need only enjoy the panorama
which will be constantly unfolded.
The trip will be free of worry, bother
or expense and will afford unlimited
opportunities tor education and recre
ation.
