list of prizes ever offered by a local newspaper in this section of the country has been made
ready for distribution among those who participate most heartily. Ambition and energy
are the only requisites for success.
The plan adopted is flu- fairest and most im partial conceivable. There will be no
“ double vote” offers, exm? prizes given or any other inducements whatever inaugurated dur
ing this competition. The plan of the campaign is straight-forward and simple, and is fully
outlined in this announcement.
Lét it be understood at the very outset that this is not a “ beauty” nor “ popularity” con
test. but a strictly legitimate competitive proposition for enterprising men and women, boys
and girls and one into which no element of chance enters. One feature of this competition is
the fact that there will be no losers in this race.
