 Preference,
 and
Why and Which

From now to the end of February our store news will be decidedly diversified in the manner in which it will be presented. That is, the dis play will differ and the ar rangement and the size of type. Some days it will be all printed in double column measure. Other days in sin gle column. Then there will be other days when it will differ entirely from anything like either of these.
 All this will be for a pur- pose, and that purpose is to ascertain which of the many styles presented is preferable to our readers.
 We have, therefore, de- clded to give a handsome leather couch to the person who best expresses in not less than one hundred words or more than two hundred which of the twenty-siX ad- vertisements during the month of February he or she considers best in the sense of being the most attractive- ly gotten up, the most read able and the most concise in method of furnishing the news of the store.
 Any person in Birming- ham or the South is eligible to enter the contest. It costs nothing; the only condition is, that you write on one side of the paper and address "The Advertising Manager Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, any time between Feb. 18th and March 10th.
