INSTRUCTIONS TO OUR PIANO C0NTES-
TANTS.

integrity OF the entlfe prOpOSltlOns
1st The piano, which is on the way
from Chicago and soon to be placed on
public exhibition, is worthy your best
efforts and is warranted by manufactu
rers for 10 years.
End. This plan upon which we oper-
ate is absolutely void of anything bor-
dering on either chance or lottery and
is confined absolutely to HARD
WORK deal for you as a contestant,
and, therefore, NO ONE has better
chance than YOU.
3rd. The certificates, or coupons, are
good for ONE VOTE for each CENT
of value they represent, viz: sl.O0 GER
tificate is good for 100 votes, sc certifi-
cate is good for five votes.
4th. The ballot box will be placed at
some place of business, to be announced
in these columns later, and will be
opened on an appointed day Of each
week and at an appointed time, and the
votes cast counted from the box in the
presence of the public.
5th. The result from week to week
will be published in the columns Of The
Echo, and the contestants and the gen.
eral public as we'll can keep posted.
Realizing from the above information
that there cannot be anything fairer
and no chance for deception, there is no
reason why you should not win, except
that the other contestant may work
harder and more consistently than you.
We are, therefore, giving you herewith
a few rules for success in the contest
and wish you success as well. You
should,
tst. Determine to win;
2nd. Get busy at once;
3rd. Patronize The Sea Coast Echo,
Bay Mercantile Company, Aliens Drug
Store and the Bay Pictorium Theatre.
Have your friends to do likewise.
4th. Address everybody whose assist
ance you think you might secure, either
by letter or, what is far better, per-
sonal interview, and urge them to assist
you in winning the piano by trading
with us and giving you their certificates.
They will be more anxious to help you
than you think, unless they should
themselves enter the contest.
9th. Remember, the goods and ser
vices of the four firms giving the piano
are just as good and just as cheap as
any you can get elsewhere; therefore,
you are not asking them to sacrifice any
financial interests to help you. You
can be bold in your requests.
9th. Have your friends to save you
all certificates and arrange to call at
their house at certain time each week
and collect them. THIS IS AN I'M
PORTANT STEP BECAUSE YOUR
WEEKLY PRESENCE WILL EN-
ABLE YOU TO TELL THEM HOW
YOU ARE GETTING ALONG AND
THAT STIMULATES THEM.
7th. Ask each one who is helping
you to get their friends to help you,
thus compounding your efforts.
Sth. Come and bring your friends
and try the piano, when it arrives, as
often as you like; it will increase your
interest and theirs as we'll.
9th. Success in any large enterprise
always depends on your ability to get
others to help you; you should, there
fore, be insistent in urging your friends
to help.
10th. If your work is more consistent,
insistent, and persistent than that of
others, you no doubt will be more sue
cessful in winning the prize.
Lastly. Friends who nominated you
MUST PERSONALLY deposit their
nomination card and sign it-they can
nominate you ONLY once on the 1000
vote certificates and once on nomination
blank, which is good for 100 votes. Get
some nomination cards.
COURAGE.
"Nothing great is lightly won;
Nothing won is lost;
Every good deed nObly done
Will repay the cost.
Respectfully,
THE SEA COAST ECHO,
BAY MERCANTILE COMPANY,
ALIENS DRUG STORE,
BAY PICTORIUM THEATRE.
