EVENING NEWS
TO GIVE AWAY
THREE PIANOS
Big Territory Covered by
This Newspaper Is Divid-
ed Into Three Districts.
ALSO GIVE AWAY THREE
SEWING MACHINES

The EVENING NEWS is going to
give away three pianos and three
sewing machines. They are to be
given away absolutely free to the
persons receiving the greatest num-
ber of votes in the contest which
opens today in the three districts
which have been laid out. A piano
and sewing machine will be given to
each district, regardless of the votes
in other districts.
1t has been the custom of the
EVENING NEWS to run such con-
tests occasionally ever since it has
been under the present management.
Several homes in this vicinity now
have pianos through the offers made
by the EVENING NEWS. The con-
test which starts today promises to
be the most elaborate of any yet
held. A page advertisement in to-
days issue will explain the details
in full.
The three pianos are of the
Strauh's C Sons make, valued at
$3.50 each. They are secured through
the Steger & Sons music store, Smith
street, Perth Amboy. The three
sewing machines are the White
make, valued at $40 each, or any
other machine that the winners may
select at the store of Anton Jensen,
State street, Perth Amboy.
The three districts in which the
pianos are to be given away are as
follows:
District No. THE city of Perth
Amboy.
District No. 2-All outside terri
tory in which the NEWS circulates,
excepting Monmouth county.
District No. 3-Monmouth county.
1t should be distinctly understood
that piano and sewing machine, as
first and second prizes, are to be
given away in each district. In other
words, each district will have a con-
test of its own, so that, regardless
of the fact that some contestants in
one district may get higher num-
Der of votes than the highest in an
other district, yet only the votes in
the district will count for the prizes
for that district. 1t is necessary,
however, that contestants must have
been resident of the district in
which they enter for at least six
months.
While the contestants are limited
to their districts, anyone can vote
for whom they desire, regardless of
the district they are in. That is, a
person living in one district, if they
desire, can vote for any one in an
other district.
A coupon will be published in the
EVENING NEWS every afternoon.
This coupon will count one vote.
Cut out the coupons and get your
friends to save them for you.
AS a further inducement, however,
it has been decided that q three
months subscription will count 100
votes, six months, 200 votes. and a
yearly subscription will count 500
votes. The price of subscriptions, IL
the paper Is delivered by mail, is
s120 for three months; $2.25 for
six months and $3.50 yearly. To be
delivered by newsdealers the price
is s1.25 for three months; $3.50 for
six months and $500 yearly. The
contest starts today and will end

ming. Make a systematic canvass
