The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1910-03-24

/ The enterprising department
store of Simon Loeb & Bro. show
their keen interest in the contest
this week by offering an elegant
special prize silk dress pattern
as reward for work performed
by the young ladies between
now and May 2.
This beautiful silk dress pat
tern is one of the popular shades
this season, and will prove a
source of delight to the young
lady fortunate enough to win it.
This is the proposition:
To the young lady who secures
the largest number of subscrip-
tion votes in the contest between
Thursday, March oath and Sat
urday, April End, at A p. m, will
be awarded the elegant special
prize. Votes will be counted for
the grand prizes as we'll as on
the special prize.
The winner of the special
prize will be given an order for
it as soon as a representative of
Simon Loeb & Bro. have counted
the votes of the week and an
4Ioo
This is an exceptional opportu-
nifty for the ladies who are in the
contest to get to work and win a
valuable prize, and at the same
time make good headway in the
race for the regular prizes.
The silk dress pattern is given
without a cent of charge by the
big department store, to show
that it is just as much interested
as anybody in the big diamond
voting contest.
VOTES ARE COMING IN.
The past few days have been
busy ones with the contest de-
partment. Almost all of the
candidates have been favored by
their friends with quite num-
Der of votes. This support has
been so we'll divided, however,
that no one candidate has any
great advantage over the others.
1t shows that the people are very
much interested in the success of
their favorites, and they will
help the ladies and gentlemen
who show a desire to help them
selves.
Very few of the candidates
have dropped out of the race.
While several of the timid ones
have hesitated to measure their
vote getting ability against the
others and have withdrawn, but |
those whom the public seems de-
sirous of assisting to win the |
elegant prizes are going to stay |
in the race to the end and they |
are the ones who deserve to win.
Diamond rings and brooches are
never thrown into the hands of |
people these days, if they ever
were. Everything worth while
comes as a reward for effort and
and those who do not
possess these virtues are wise to |
leave the issue to those who
have the energy and popularity
necessary to win.
But for the candidates who ap-
preciate the value of the prizes
in the big contest there I
are many subscriptions and votes
waiting. /
Three young ladies and three I
young men will each win an ele- !
CANT prize on May 10 and the ad (
ditional honor which always be-
longs to the victors.
Do you want the prizes and |
the honor? If so enter the con-
test today. If you are already |
start to work with |
the firm resolve to win.
CRAWFORD LADY LEADS.
Enough subscriptions were re-
ceived yesterday from friends of |
Miss Lonnie Hartman to give that |
young lady first place among the
contestants. 1t is not known
Just what society or organization
would be favored with the 500 |
cash prize, if Miss Hartman
were to win the diamond ring, |
but reports are to the effect that
she will receive the enthusiastic
support of a large number of
