ANOTHER PRIZE ON JUNE 5th
Fifteen Dollars in Gold to Be
Given Contestant Who is
Leading On that
Date.

The Columbus Commercials S
great piano voting contest is
reaching normal pro portions
now. 1t has come to where you
can't tell who is leading. So
many have brought in subscrip-
tons anu received their votes, and
sOme ss:.ye so many that no one
can even guess which has the
most. There is quite a demand
for merchants coupons, too.
These are the little jokers that
will probably tell the story in
the end. And this is the way
our readers can help. It does
not cost you a cent when you
buy groceries. dry goods. hard
ware, clothing. furniture, drugs,
or what ever the advertisers in
the contest have to offer. and
then as the contestant comes to
you. you will have a pleasant
little surprise for her; that will
prove you a person who thinks
of others, and it will make her
pleased with you.
Every one of the ladies who is
out for that piano wants it,
and they are honestly trying in
every honorable way to come in
possession of it. 1t is simply a
question Of which one you like
best. OF course you like
them all. and Columbus and vi
cinity have nothing nicer than
these contestants, and what is
nicer for a lady. whether old of
young, and her family and cir
Gle of friends. than a nice piano
and such a one for instance,
as the Commercial is going to
give the people of Columbus
and vicinity like the best.
Bear in mind that the ballot
box is closed for the second count
TOGO pm, on June 5. Be sure
and have your votes all in by
that time so that you will have
fair chance to show what your
standing is.

gold to the contestant who makes
