PIANO CONTEST.

well be you a any other person.
Just little time and consistent
effort and this beautiful instrument
is yours. The piano is to be given
by }. A. Armstrong, merchant
Here is the plan. With every pur-
chase at the above mentioned store,
you receive the exact number Of
votes that your purchase amounts
t., for instance, 1915 purchase
entities you to three hundred and
seventy five votes and 81 90 pur-
chase entities you to five hundred
votes, and so on. Again there are
certain articles Of merchandise that
carry more votes than the regular
portion. At this time in our milli-
merry department we are giving 600
otes on any hat at $500 or over.
Also any mesh bag carries 1000
votes, and parasols at 81 80 and
above carry 1000 votes. From time
to time an extra amount Of votes
are placed on various articles. Thus
the purchasers Of these items acquire
votes very rapidly. There are vari-
Gus plans of securing these votes.
To each contestant and there are
one hundred and fifty active ones
on the roll now, we issue five postal
cards worth 1000 votes each. These
you give to your friends and ask
them to simply call and leave them
at Armstrong; and they will count
on your number. Then again you
may solicit these votes of your
| friends who are not contestants.
They may give these votes direct to
you or they may turn them in per-
son TO your number, and even
though they are not contestants,
their votes turned to your number
may secure for them one of the
handsome weekly gifts. However,
the best way to acquire these votes
in large numbers, is to visit Arm
strong's store and purchase tn,
items that carry the large votes
Parties turning in votes for some
friend'- number, should also place
their own name ON the same - a:
