iaD-Probably no one was more
surprised than was Mr.. Herber
Tetlow, Washingtonville, Ohio
when the postmaster delivered
to her an envelope containing a
certified check for 50, 500, signed
by the Woolson Spice Company
of Toledo, Ohio.
This good fortune is the result
of an estimate made by Mrs.
Tetlow in accordance with tn
Lion coffee premium offer to
those coming the nearest to esti-
mating the 4th of July attend

The total paid attendance at
the st. Louis Exposition on July
4th was 139, $50.
AS Mrs. fellows estimate was
exactly correct, she was given
first reward. Mrs. Tetlow sent
in only six estimates.
M. K. Hassinger, Lamona, Pa,
received the second prize of
81, 900. E. B. Roseboom, Frank
fort, o., and James Ashcroft, of
Raleigh, N. c., each received
$500 prizes. In all. 2139 prizes,
amounting to $4,000 were
awarded.
Throughout the last six months
Woolson Spice Company has
been publishing in the leading
newspapers of America an offer
of $4,000 in cash prizes. The
500, 900 just awarded is in the
Worlds Fair Contest. Another
500, 900 will be given in the same
way to those who make the best
of the total Presiden-
