had it," will be the expressions of
every lady when she has seen the
beautiful Oakland Upright Piano soon
to be placed on exhibition in John
F. Wirth's store which will be given
away by the Clio Messenger to the
lady who receives the largest number
of votes on the final count in the
popular voting contest. Not only the
ladies, but the men as well are sure
to praise the instrument, and about
all one will hear from now on
will be have you seen the piano the
Messenger is going to give away? Oh
go see it, its a beauty! l wish 1
could win it," We want every man.
woman and child to see the instru-
ment whether they are directly inter-
ested or not in who will win. The
mother, father or brother who would
not like to see their daughter or sis
ter possess this fine instrument,
would surely be of a peculiar nature.
No one has any idea as to who the

know that every lady in
and community who does not possess
a piano is longing in her heart for
It. A piano is the pride of every wo-
mans heart and the comfort it af-
lords to the home is almost beyond
words to express.
IL is all up to these girls and the
people of Clio and vicinity which one
shall win this beautiful piano or if
some other girl has been holding back
a little shall come forward with a
hatch of votes that will make them
all look as If they never had any.
One way to guard against this is
to keep right on with the work and
one way to accomplish this is for
some of these other girls to get right
around and see what her friends will
do for her. This piano is worth
working for. Furthermore We know
that not one of the ladies wants it to
be given her. She wants to now
why it should be hers and that she
earned it by helping the Messenger is
one of the best reasons in the world
Why she should have it. No one can
question its title then, it will stand
monument to the skill and ability
OF the girl who went after it and got
it,who studied how to- make every
chance to get votes count for her.
who left no stone unturned to inter-
est people in her desires to get the
piano. 1t is not charity that you
ask OF them it is a mere expression
of their good will. No one shall pay

of getting trade for our local mer-
chants and boosting the circulation
Of the Messenger for the benefit of
the people who should take it.
Keep right at the work and don't
be deferred by any idea that you
have done enough" Remember
that while the hare was taking a
