Sunlight Soaps Latest scheme.

Messrs. Lever Bros, Ltd, prOprietors of
Sunlight Soap, do nothing by halves. They
have built up the largest soap business in the
world first, by turning out very superior
article, and second, by pluck and attractive
advertising. Their latest stroke in the
United States is a bold one. 1t is a Monthly
Wrapper Competition, the tempting features of
which are the presentation of So, 400 in cash,
bicycles and gold watches every month of
the year 1897, to those who collect and send
in to Lever Bros New York Office the largest
number of Sunlight coupons" The total
value of the prizes to be awarded during the
year 1897 is $40, 800.
This competition will commence in Janu-
ary, when four first prizes, each of 500 cash,
20 second prizes, each of 500 Pierce Special
Bicycles, and 40 third prizes each of $25
Gold Watches will be awarded to the sue
cessful competitors of that month.
A great advantage in this competition is
that it is held monthly, and, therefore, those
who do not succeed for one month have
plenty more opportunities during the year
Rules and full particulars are given in our
advertising columns from time to time. The
firm Of Lever Bros. is thoroughly respon-
sible and will do all they promise.
