own set Of awards. This is for the pur-
pose OF eQuaIizing the distribution OF
awards among the people Of the different
sections OF the city.
The four set OF awards will be iden-

rate competitions. In addition to these
awards there will be q grand award OF q

with the greatest number OF votes in the
entire District OF Columbia, Irrespective
OF voting districts.
The district divisions have reference
merely to the awards and in no wise re-
late to the methods OF obtaining votes.
Contestants may procure votes in any
part OF the city, Irrespective or whether
the merchants which they patronize are
in their voting districts or not.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CON-
TEST DIsTRICTs,
DISTRICT No. comprises the en-
tire territory west OF Eighteenth Street

The object Of the contest is to stimu-
late business and to direct the purchas-
ing public to those concerns where they
can get the best returns for their money.
The effect Of the competition will be 10
increase rewspaper advertising. to make
the public acquainted with tho leading
retail merchants and manufacturers op-
Grating in the city. and to educate the
public to patronize these enterprising es-
tablishments. The Herald recommends

awarded. you have the making Of a win

person can really do when he sets his
mind upon accomplishing a certain end.
You are not asked to spend a cent in
the contest. You are not asked to solicit
a single thing. All that is required OF
you is to read The Herald carefully every
day. patronize the special merchants and
manufacturers who advertise to give
votes in this contest. and obtain tho CO.
operation Of your friends in your per-
sonal campaign. Does that require any
special gift from the gods7

Always patronize merchants whose ad-
vertisements appear in connection with
the contest. It is only BY a strict ad-
herence to this principle that you will
come to success. Whoever you are you

adjustments OF merchants in the con-
test. for IN this way It is possible to re-
ceive votes twice. To illustrate. a con-
testant purchases a sc box OF Ho1sD'
Lemon Seidlitz Powders at the Ideal
Pharmacy. Both the manufacturer and
thu druggist are advertisers in the con.
test. The patron. upon request, receives
five votes from the pharmacist for pat
ronizng the establishment-one for each
5 cents in purchase. The contestant
then takes the box top TO The Advocate
at The Herald business Office and re-
ceives twenty-five votes for patroniz;ng
the manufacrurer-one for each cent in
purchase.
The Advocate Is ready to exchange
votes for labels and wrappers and other
trademarks at any time. His Office Is

HOW TO GET THE VOTES ::: e.:


There are two ways to get votes. One
deals with the patronage OF the retail
merchants, and the other with the pur-
chase OF the manufactured products. BY
purchasing advertised products at adver-
tised establishments It is possible TO get
votes twice for the same purchase.
THE FIRST METHOD. VOTES
GIVEN BY RETAIL MERCHANTS AD-
VERTISED IN CONTEST TO PATRONS
UPON REQUEST AT THE RATE OF
ONE FOR EACH CENTS IN PUR-
CHASE.
A list OF the retail merchants, adver-
tising IN connection with the competition,
will be found in each issue OF Tne Her.

ington Herald's xzo.oU contest"
The list OF these merchants should be
kept close at hand, % that they may
The Washington herald., 1912-09-16

be patronized when It is necessary &c
make a purchase. The list is q complete
ono. and there Is hardly a conceivable
article which cannot be purchased at one
OF the establishments.
The Herald should be read carefully
every day. The advertisements are scat
tered through the paper. It is a bad plan
merely to watch the classified lists OF
advertisers. By reading each OF the ad-
vertisement closely and thoughtfully. the
contestant will get an accurate know
ledge of what the various merchants
have to sell. and when 1t is necessary TO
purchase any Of these articles. he will
know exactly where to go. and not only
get what he wants. but procure the votes
also.
1t Is advisable for contestants to secure
copies OF the list OF advertising mer-
chants and manufacturers from the Ad-
vocate and distribute them among their
The Washington herald., 1912-09-16

friends. with the request that they pat
ronize the establishments and products
and save the votes for them. BY follow
ing out this plan. the contestant will not
be- required TO spend a cent to obtain
votes. II Is no trouble to the friends.
In asking a person to assist him in the
competition. a contestant is doing .
valuable service to that person. For By
patronizing these merchants and manu-
facturers. the public will be sure TO get
the best quality at the most reasonable
prices.

The Washington herald., 1912-09-16

The advertisements Of all manufac~
trred products, in particular. should be
read carefully. In each is a sentence
telling exactly what must be exchanged
TO secure votes. II may be a label, or a
wrapper. or trademark. or q bottle
cap. or . carton-so in order to avoid
mistake. Il Is advisable to pay especial
attention to this class Of advertisements.
These advertised products should al
ways be purchased in preference to
others. Contestants should ask their
friends to buy these products and to
save the required medium OF exchange
