CONTEST CLOSES JAN 3
Beautiful $4,000 Piano Win Be
Awarded To Young Lady Re-
ceiving Largest Vote.

Prize Voting Contest Will take place
next Friday, Jan. 8. The ballot
closes at three o'clock in the af-
ternoon, and contestants should take
warning and get all their votes in
before that hour. The ballot box
is in the Office of the Caledonian
Company, where it will remain un-
open from a. m, to p. m, each
business day, except Saturday, when
it closes at noon.
The present standing of the con-
testants might suggest that the bat
tie is now practically over because
Of the lead of the one standing at
the head. We want to state that a
contest of this sort is never over I'M
til the last vote is counted, and
unless we are very much mistaken
there will be a perfect avalanche of
votes pouring in that little box
from now on until the hour of clos
ing.
1t should not be forgotten that
while the piano is the great induce
ment toward getting votes in this
contest, the other prizes are well
worth competing for. AS 10 mer-
chants have offered prizes there will
be IL young ladies in all who will
be fortunate enough to get a prize.
Look at the count of the 18th one
from the top on the last count and
see how easy it would be to get into
the winning list. These prizes will
be awarded as follows: The one
with the highest number of votes
will of course get the piano, the Sec
ond highest number of votes will give
that contestant the privilege of first
choice from the other 10 prizes. The
third contestant having third high
est number will have next choice,
and so on. Look over the list again
as printed in the announcement of
the contest on page Z and see how
valuable these prizes are.
The way to get votes is now ia
miliar to all the workers, but many
of them have not woke up to the
fact that the big bonuses offered
help tremendously in swelling the
count of those who get the sub
scriptions that entitle them to the
extra votes. Another way to forge
ahead is to ask all your friends to
ask for coupons given by the mer
chants for cash sales. There is also
bonus with every forty of these
coupons.
Until the finish of the contest the
bonuses will be as follows:-
For every new subscriptions,
5000 extra, making a total of 49,
200 votes.
For every z renewals, 5000 extra,
making a total of $500 votes.
For every Z back subscriptions,
1000 extra, making a total of g.
500 votes.
For every 40 merchants coupons
1000 extra votes, making a total of
1000 votes.
These coupons may be collected
from any and all merchants who are
in the contest.
