Cousin Bill, or Aunt Carrie come TO
you this morning and said, win you
go 10 the fair with me next summer"

And II they said. i've leased a prl.
vate palace Pullman car and I've
hired an experienced tour manager
to see to our comfort and pleasure.
and am going to pay all your ex.
penses," what would you say?
you might not say "Hurrah!" be.
cause maybe you are too dignihed.
but you would be tckled most TO
death.
Well that is just what some OF the
best and most progressive business
men Of Bryan are saying to you right
now. They invite you TO take this
delightful trip. Not a cent Of cost and
hardly bit Of work-not a bit OF real
work.
Bryan wants some nice single girl
or married lady Of good appearance
and standing TO represent this county
at the big fair at San Francisco next
summer. The Eagle wants TO have
a representative there. too. We must
have one. There could be no iairer
way to select this representative than
TO have the customers OF the people
who pay the expenses OF the repre-.
sentative select her by ballot
Bryan is going to be represented
and that representative will be most
royalty entertained from the day she
leaves home until she returns She
will 20 with the representatives OF
twenty-five other cities. She will be-
provided with a private palace Pull.
man car, In charge OF tour manager
and chaperoned by some newspaper
man and his wife from one OF the
twenty-five towns.
The party will leave Texas soon
after the close Of school next summer.
will visit the fair for nearly two
weeks the balance OF the time being
spent in seeing points of interes; be.
tween here and San Francisco.
1t isn't the intention Of these mer.
chants to make girl re; out and
peddle anything to win this trip. This
is not job. but an honor that they
seek to confer. And It will be an
honor and a very high honor TO repre-
sent a city like Bryan and set Of
business people like those Of Bryan.
Votes will be issued by merchants
participating on cash purchases and
promptly paid accounts, one vote on
each dollar received, except in case
OF special offers. These votes will
not affect the price of the goods sold,
so 1t will cost the public nothing to
vote. Candidates need not ask their
friends to spend an extra cent. for the
lines of merchandise represented in
the contest cover all the articles that
one must buy anyway.
This is a perfectly fair means of
selecting a representative. Some
lucky lady is going We already have
several candidates any one of whom
would be credit to the county, but this
proposition is open to everyone whose
standing is such as TO qualify her for
this honor, and there should be more
nominations. II must not be said that
this is a restricted proposition or that
there is any favoritlsm shown. Any
citizen of Bryan or vicinity may nomi.
nate any lady who Is qualified and she
will have the same chance as those
already nominated. Everyone will be
given absolutely fair and impartial
treatment
One thing of interest about this
contest is the honest and dignifed
manner in which It will be conducted.
This is not one of the ordinary, cheap,
hullabaloo contests so often conduct.
ed as a mere scheme to get business,
but It is a serious effort to fairly Sc.
lect some nice girl or married lady to
represent Bryan and The Eagle on
this trip, The standing OF contestants
will not be published at any time
There is an election day just like in
regular election. Votes are issued
on sales Of merchandise because that
is the best way and only by certain
stores because only those stores pay
the expenses.
