The winners of the prizes were yesterday
advised of their success by The Century
Company. Mr.. G. w. Riley, who represents
the publishers, was seen at the Bates House,
and he stated that the competition had been
wonderful success and that the people of
Indianapolis who took part in the compe-
tition now fully appreciate the unique use
fulness of The Century Dictionary and Cy-
clopeda. This, he stated, was the object
of the competition.
So many competitors indicated a desire to
buy the sets they had used so profitably,
that The Century Company arranged that
the thousand families might each purchase
their sets at a handsome saving. The pub
fishers realized that the cumulative inf1u-
ence of 1000 families constantly using and
constantly talking of The Century would
prove to be extremely beneficial to them
when they come to sell the work here in the
regular way, at the regular price. They
every competitor by quoting the same terms
as would be paid by a wholesale dealer
those who prefer to do SO to pay for the
sets in small monthly payments.
The saving that each family effects is $55,
so that this means very large sum when
looked at in the aggregate.
