1 have received 3O1 answers to
my little puzzle ad and only 1872
found to be correct. Many spelled
my name Haaps, some Wash, and
many left out the word "who'' some
would send the W to the
newspapers instead of to me, and
some would leave out the words
Montgomery City, NO., others would
put Montgomery City, Mo-, before
the sentence. The most of the the
answers wrong would be using the
word nice instead TO fine.
Little did / dream when l put in
this little puzzle ad that it would
turn out the way it has. 1 did ex-
poet 8 or 10 to win and expected
them to be a big ad for me as l am
locating in Montgomery City.
l have opened a Portrait Enldrging
Studio over the Haas Clothing Store
and am doing a straightforward,
upright business, treat the people
honestly and guarantee all my work.
That is why l put in this little puzzle
ad expecting to publish my name
30 as to ring in the ear of many
people and that l would only have
10 give away 8 or 10 SO. 90 portraits
as premiums. Well, my name, no
doubt rings in the ears of 301 per-
sons who have sent in their ans
rel to the puzzle and perhaps in
many other peoples ears who are
talking about me. w ell, that is
what l like, is to have people talk
about me and when I have deliver
ed some of my portraits I will
arsure the public that none but the
best of talk will go around about
Jeff O. Shaw, 80 now I hope the
good people will talk fast and
bring me lots of business for here
I am, up against it, to give away
1872 $500 premiums.
Well 1 am a man Of my vord, each
and every person whose name ap-
pears in this dd are entitled to q
$500 Enlarged Black Sepia Portrait,
and my conditions are that you
patronize me for the framing of
the portrait instead of going else
where. Nice frames can be bought
of me from two dollars & upwards.
People living in Montgomery and
near by can bring their orders in
to my studio and those who live
far away can send them by mail.
Send any picture you want en-
larged just so 1t is a good original
to work from. If more than one
person is on a photo mark s'x"
overt the one you want made and
state if you want it bust or as It is.
One thing l shall do Is to limit
your time of coming in, as time Is
money to a man besides / want to
get this work out as soon as possi-
BILE go as to advertise me and these
premium orders will perhaps be
the means of bringing me many q
paid order in the future.
Now all premiums orders must
be in my Studio by March I6, 1907,
6p. M. II you have no picture on
hands that you wish enlarged
come in and see me by March 18th
and we might make arrangements
to have Mr.. Bush our home pho
tographer to take your picture,
rs l don't take pictures myself
only enlarge them. All work finish
/. ed right here in Montgomery City
and guaranteed. I must say the
Montgomery papers are winners
to reach such q large territory
Little did I expect answers from
/. Massachusetts,, Michigan, Wis.
consin, Minnesota, Illinois, Kan.
sas, Texas, Arkansas, North Da.
!. kota, Kentucky, and one from New
!. Orleans, Louisiana that failed tt
!. be correct. 1t pays to advertis,
In the Montgomery papers, but
don't know how lam to get pait
}. except by expecting my premium
work TO bring me good success I,
. the future. Yours for business,
