port.
The race is on!
Who gets the $500 piano?
Who will sh;re in the many other
prizes?
Who secures the $40 in gold to
be awarded the contestant who leads
on the first count, Oct. 18th?
Are many of the questions that
are being asked froIa day to uav.
Who can tell? The leader Of today
may be in the rear tom prov, but
the worker-the one who is gather
ing in the coupons all the time IS
sure to land one of the many prizes.
We have inquiries from day to
day from persons who wish they
were in. They can get in and win
if they so desire. The work has just
begun. Remember that the coupons
given by the merchants are good on
all the prizes including the piano.
When the final count is made The
contestant having the biggest cou II
will get the piano. The second big
gest count will have choice Of all
the other prizes and so on. Those
little coupons being given by the
merchants count up fast. With
every dollar cash purchase you are
entitled to a coupon which will CONT
rs for whOeVer's name is written on
it when deposited in the ballot box
which is now at the Californian Of
flee. Save the coupons. Have FOUR
friends save them for you. Trade
at the places where you can get them
for they are valuable.
AS an illustration of the interest
being taken and the demand for the
coupons thus early: One day last
week a lady made a cash purchase
amounting to twenty-three dollars
and some cents in a grocery store
where the coupons are being given
out. She received twenty-three
coupons. "Give me the balance of
that dollar in candy and another
coupon,r she said. That woman
whether a contestant or a friend of
some contestant will trade where
she can get the coupons. That's the
way to work it. One little twenty
five cent count coupon may win the
battle on the piano. 1t certainly will
have it's effect in the count for all
the prizes.
Have you a friend who is going to
buy an overcoat or other garment?
Remember there are coupons being
given out by the clothiers. A $40 suit
of clothes means twenty coupons
or count of five hundred.
Now is fall and winter suit time.
Girls, find out who are buying suits
or other clothing and get them to
promise to save you the coupons
There are groceries and a millinery
and a furniture store giving coupons.
Read over the list. And then there
are also dry-goods, jewelry, and
photographer and drug stores
where they may be gotten. Don't
fail to get them.
Don't forget in making the race
that a new subscription of $3.50 to |
the Caledonian will give you a count
of 600, and a back collection of |
$3.50, 400 and renewal, 500. !
The contest will last till some
time in December. There is ample
time to make a good showing. Get
in your votes before Oct. IL so as to
have a chance at the $40 gold piece.
If you are going to get subscribers or
make collections call at this Office 1
and get a receipt book. Ask your
friends to give you their subscrip-
lions. If you get five new subscrib-
srs you will get coupons amounting
to 5000. That will help you in the
race. And every single SUBSCRIPTION
will push you up the line toward the
mark.
Hustle from now on.
Don't be a gutter.
Every coupon counts on the piano.
Get out and win it and in doing so
remember that there are several
merchants prizes and money prizes
hat you can share in.
The nominations so far made are
