Hot weather is not conductive to

managers of stores in the contest in
many instance fail to give out the
tickets--and each failure to do SO is
an opportunity lost to advertise the
contest "'' ..#-
People are forgetful and must be
constantly reminded. 1t is the bust
ness of the merchants to see that
everybody who pays any cash into the
till, gets a ticket for every so cents
paid. Do not wait for the customer
to ask for the tickets. They are free
they are paid for and are absolutely
no good as an advertisement unless
put in the hands Of the purchaser.
Every clerk should be admonished to
give out the tickets. People who have
few, want more and will buy more
goods to get more tickets. Also en-
courage the contestants TO notify The
Forum how they stand and make the
contest one of the best that was ever
pulled of in the city-and Fargo has
had some good ones.
