 STICK CANDY CONTEST

Roy Tomln, 1926 South Twentieth street, Birmingham, wins the first prize of $5 this week in the contest started by the Huston Biscuit company.

 The contest has proved very inter esting one indeed and the letters sent in during the first week have been so good on the average, that it has been no easy task to decide which was best. The judges, however, after carefully weighing every point decided that the first prize should be awarded to Roy Tomlin 1928 South Twentieth street, Birmingham, whose letter commended itself to the ma jorty of the judges as the best sent in.
 The five next best letters were those written by John McReynolds, Powell street and Second avenue, West End; Mildred Eastman, 1911 Fourteenth ave- nue, North Birmingham Mary McLaugh- lin; Nina Vivan Carlise. R. F. D. No. g, Birmingham; Gladys Garden, Irondale who are therefore each entitled to $1 as the result of the judges decision.
 Contests will take place every week on the same terms the above, until other wise announced by the Huston Biscuit company. That means that some boy or girl each week will be able to secure a prize of s5 by simply writing a nice lit- tie descriptive article of not more than one hundred words, telling about Hus- tons Seal Brand Pure Stick Candy and five other boys or girls who write the five next best letters will each receive a prize of S1.
 The only conditions of the contest are that each letter must be accompanied by a trade mark taken from package of Seal Brand Candy and that no boy or girl shall send in more than one letter each week.
 Winners in one weeks contest will not be prevented from competeing again, but they must send in original letters each time.

Judging by the interest that has been taken in the first weeks contest the prop osition of the Huston Biscuit company is likely to be a popular one with boys and girls.
