gestion, and 1,400 replies were re-
ceived. Miss Beulah Halves present

careful consideration the committee
in charge adopted this and awarded
her the prize. The committee was
composed of H. H. Cleaveland, A. d.
Sperry, J. T. Marion, S. W. Searle and
H. P. Simpson.
The slogan is being generally used
in a manner to bring it most effective

pecially the buying public outside OF
the city. 1t fits Rock Islands condi.
