testants are running neck and neck. and
the finish of the race promises to be an
exciting and interesting one.
Although most Of the contestants are

tie prodding from time TO time. By con-
sulting the minute records at The Her

what is being done by the various COM
petitors. A study OF the records dis
closes the fact that there are some con-
testants who have secured so far only
a few votes
These persons should get busy at once.
BY working In the contest they win dc
a double service. They will serve them
selves, and they will serve the leading
merchants and manufacturers of the
city. Every person entered In the con-
test has an equal opportunity to win
No favoritism can possibly be shown
Success will not be attained by chance
or by fraud. Those who patronize the
merchants advertised in connection witt
the competition and who give theii
thought and time to the problem Of Sc
curing additional votes will be among
the winners Of the unparalleled race.
Contestants should let no opportunity
escape them. II the merchant with whom
the competitor deals does not sell manu-

Is not complied with, contestants should

iness Office, who will tell them exactly
where such products may be purchased
The Advocate is always glad to give
this information. Many housewives have
already called him up by telephone or
called at his ONCE to learn where they

Contestants may learn their standing at
any time by calling at The Advocate

of the systematic manner In which the
