Only eight days remain in which to
register as contestant in the Refor-
mer's Great Quaker Range Voting Con-
test, and we are surprised and amazed
that so few entries have yet been made.
Seven magnificent prizes, consisting of
seven of the famous Quaker Ranges,
actually purchased by the Reformer
and ready for immediate delivery upon
the final estimate of votes, are waiting
to be awarded to the winners in the
contest, one in each of the seven dis
tricts specified in the announcement.
These prizes will be given absolutely
free of any cost to voters. since full
value, in subscriptions to the best
weekly newspaper in Southern Yer
mont, single copies of the same and
valuable advertising space, is given
for every dollar paid US in connection
with this contest The votes and the
prizes they represent are free. In ad-
dition to the seven ranges, second or
consolation prizes will be awarded in
each district to the contestant having
the next highest number of votes. Only
three contestants are necessary in each
district. but any number may enter.
Not only individuals, but churches,
clubs, lodges or other societies are ell
igible and the entry of such organiza-
tions promises to add vivacity and in
terest to the voting. No element of
uncertainty or hesitation need enter
into this matter as all the details of the
contest will be conducted along lines
of perfect fairness and honesty. Ul-
lery & Co., the new owners and pub
fishers of the Reformer, are thorough
ly reliable, as any Brattleboro bank or
business firm will testify, and they will
do exactly as they agree.
All the conditions of this contest be-
ing highly favorable to the public, we
naturally expected prompt and gen.
eral response to our offer. But none
has yet come from various quarters
Hinsdale, Wilmington, Putney, Dunn
mersoD, Brattleboro, Westminster,
Marlboro, Northfield, Bernardston,
Townshend, Londonderry and Jamaica
all remain strangely silent. What's
the matter? Doesn't anyone want a
Quaker Range? Is fuel, then, so very
scarce that stoves are useless:
Readsboro, Guilford, Vernon and
Chesterfield are not so slow. They will
get their forces finely organized and
well to the front while their neighbors
are waking up. An early entrance is
of the greatest Importance because it
gives people time to advocate your
cause among their friends without
crowding out the vital results of such
advocacy Read the advertisement in
this issue and fill out the entry blank
to-day, before it is too late. Prizes
will be withdrawn from districts in
which there are not at least three con-
testants entered.
These ranges which we offer as prizes
may be seen at the store of Emerson u
Son, Brattleboro. They are first class
in every way; burn either coal or
wood and, fact that will appeal ire
sistibly to the men, they take in two
foot wood Go and see them.
Above all, register your name or that
of your club. lodge or society at once
before it is too late.
