MISS GLENNA BURNS RECEIVES THE FIRST PRIZE
Second and third Prizes to Abeaty Contestants and the Fourth
to Curtis RatIif in Lubbock All Make Gains the Last
Day-Votes Came in till the Last Moment

The last day being a heavy days
work. Each one put in all the
time up TO the very moment the
contest closed.
We wish to state that the con-
test was entirely satisfactory TO
the management. Although
there was not as much interest
manifested IN it by some of the
people of this city that might
have made it even a greater
success than it was, still we are
not complaining, and we believe
that the Avalanche has carried
out its part Of the contest t.
the letter.
We have not left stone un-
turned TO carry out every detal
of our promises, and we wish to
state to a few people here who
have limited that we would not
carry out what we advertised.
that we did. Not one bit did we
vary from what we started out
to do and all the contestants
have expressed themselves as
being highly pleased in every
way with the treatment that
they have received at our hands
and the prize that they have re-
ceived.
The management of the paper
extends to all that took part in
this contest the heartiest thanks
for their services. We especially
thank the committee who so
kindly consented to do the
counting of the votes, and assure
them that there services were
appreciated by every one con
nected with the contest in any
wav.
The Avalanche can boast of the
largest boni-hde subscription
list of any paper on the plains,
outside Of possibly the Amarillo
Dailies, and this makes it a
mighty good advertising medium.
which it will be seen that the ad-
vertisers of Lubbock fully APP
preciate by the number of splen-
did ads in this issue.
Some time in the future the
paper will likely have something
else great to offer the people OF
this section of the plains. and
you can rest assured that you
will get a square deal when we
do.
