manufacturers and merchants prize

Nov. last. Because of the rush,
which will obtain In the contest Of
fee during practically all of next

compute the votes from day to day
10 arrange the standings in the pa
per.
Next Monday, the contestants will

counting.
| From practically every side there
have been given indications that
prizes may easily be won by terrihc
efforts on the part of some OF the
contestants during the last week.
Not a few OF the organization work
ers have made extensive prepare
tons for d big vote the last week,
and ii will not be at all surprising
la many of them gather more votes
between now and next Saturday
might than have been turned In dur
ing the entire first Is weeks OF the
campaign.
Zion German Reformed church.
IChene and Jay-sts., has, for instance,
made preparation TO accomplish
more than a doubling OF the present
vote for that organization. To this
end the workers for this organization
arranged big sale for Wednesday
might of last week. This affair was
enthusiastically attended by the
lscores of members OF the church and
their friends and acquaintances, and
during the evening the different pro-
ducts were disposed of at wholesale
rates. Coffee was not sold by the
package, but by the box of forty
lelght packages. other products were
disposed of in a like manner. A Sec
lond affair of the kind will be held by
this organization before the close.
In their eagerness to dispose OF
large quantities OF those products,
which provide a big bonus vote, the
contestants have exhausted several
times ali the supplies of Olivilo toilet
lsoap that could be found in the job
lbing houses. Some OF the workers
have mentioned the fact of their in
ability to obtain this product so Of
ten that an arrangement was made
with the manufacturers whereby a
generous shipment of the product
has been sent into Detroit and placed
lin a warehouse, at the almost instant
command of the various 1obbing
houses.
In addition to that, and due to the
fact that shipments of this product
were delayed greatly by the weather
conditions which tied up railway
traffic for ten days or more, and be-
cause of the short period OF the con-
test remaining, an arrangement mas
been made whereby the contestants
may. when orders are given by re-
ltailers for supply of this product
obtain the proper number OF wrap
lpers from the manufacturer.
This rule applies only on specified
Quantities of the product and those
contestants who seek to have retail
crs obtain supply OF the product
should call the contest ONCE and Cd
ltain further details OF the arrange
ment This is the most satisfactory
Arrangement the contest department
could provide for those of the con-
testants who were unable TO OBTAIN
Oliyilo soap previously.
DO not hold your quantities until
the last day. which is Wednesday OF
next week Let them come in, as you
Ibid before, on Monday and Tuesday,
so that as much as possible OF the
"Wednesday rush may be avoided.
