fine PIAN0CIVEN
BY STREET FAIR
To the Most Popular Young Lady
Of kandiyohi County. Voting
Begins in a Few Days.

Who is the most popular young
lady in Kandiyohi county? The
Willmar Street Fair Association is
going to try to find out. and to that
end has decided to inaugurate a
popularity contest, to begin next
week and continue until the close
of the street fair, Sept. Is. The
prize to be given the winner is a
1915 Kimball piano, the second
prize will be sewing machine and
the third prize will be some other
valuable and useful household arti-
Gle.
The contest committee has been
at work some time picking out the
best instrument obtainable for the
money, and last Monday they decid-
ed upon a mahogany finish, colonial
style Kimball piano. The Kimball
piano ranks among the very best in
the market, being highly recon-
mended by such artists as Myrtle
Elvyn, who says it is "the most
perfect medium for every phase Of
piano playing" Lillian Russell and
Emma Eames, who says she is
charmed with it's beautiful tone. :"
1t will thus be seen that the prize
is one worthy of the greatest effort.
The field is open to any young lady
residing in the county, and not at
present the owner of piano. No
limitations may be sent in now to
Hans Gunderson, secretary of the
street fair association, or may be
left at the drug store of Carlson
Bros. & Frost. A voting box will
be placed in the drug store next
week, and votes may be purchased
there, one vote being given for
every cent. The piano will be
placed on exhibit at the furniture
store of Andrew Peterson as soon as
it arrives from the factory, and
will be placed in the fine arts
building on Benson avenue during
the street fair.
