a NOVELTY WRITING CONTEST.
BY the Baker Piano House in This
City.

Bakers Piano House of 103 South
Market street offer a very unique and
interesting opportunity to either win
a $3.50 Kurtzman piano, or portion
of 5000 in prizes. The rules and regu-
lations of this contest will be found
on page of this issue. The strife
and competition will be very keen
from the fact that the piano offered
is a Kurtzmann, one of Mr.. Bakers
best and finest instruments.
This piano will be given away about
March 20 to the person who can write
the most number of times on U. S.
postal the following sentence: G. B.
Baker sells the old reliable Kurtz-
mann Pianos. We predict that those
who enter will never forget that G..
B. Baker is piano man, and that he
sells the Kurtzmann. The idea does
credit to Mr.. Bakers ingenuity. The
simplicity of the proposition and its
absolute fairness will do much to
make it a success.
