THE PRIZES We Offer
ARE NOW ON DISPLAY
Workers For Herald SubSCrip-
tons Can Wear Diamonds
And Ride In Their Own Automobiles
Most LiberaIsOffer Ever Made
by Grant County Paper

Ford automobiles for 1915 are $50
cheaper than for the year ending
July 30th, price now being $500 at
the factory. Freight and other ex-
pense of transportation bring the cost
up to 1923 at Lancaster. That is
the price The Herald is paying to the
Horton Automobile Company, of this
city, for the 1915 Ford that will be
given as first prize in our subscrip-
ton voting contest, which is just
now starting and in which now is the
proper time for contestants to make
their entry and try for the prizes
offered. This car is the new model,
of the very highest class turned out
by the great Ford factory, the larg-
est in the world, and has all of the
latest improvements and appliances.
1t is a prize well worth winning and
some one of our contestants is going
L. own it within the next few weeks.
Our second prize is genuine
diamond ring, warranted perfect by
Fred P. Barnett, the Lancaster
jeweler, from whom it is purchased.
The regular retail value of this ring
is SIS and nobody could buy it
cheaper for cash. Guaranteed by
him in every respect to be exactly as
represented. 1t is now on eXhibitio n
in his store window
The third prize is scholarship in
a business college, which some
ambitious boy or girl can win and use
in securing business training.
The fourth and fifth prizes are
high class gold watches-one for lady
and the ocher for gentleman. They
have been purchased from Weber
Bros, Lancaster jewellers, and are
now on exhibition in their store
window. Should both be won by girls
or both by boys the one can be ex-
changed for another of like value.
These watches are both warranted by
the ieweler and are fine and valuable
prizes.
We want it understood fully that
the editor of The Herald is buying
these prizes, personally, from the
home dealers, and paying for same
out of his own pocket, and they are
all high-class and are warranted by
the dealers to be exactly what they
are claimed to be. There is nothing
cheap nor tricky about them. They
are all costly and valuable.
Next week we give away several
31-piece dinner sets of China dishes
as special prizes, in addition to the
grand prizes above described. Merely
as an added incentive in the work.
These special prizes do not in any
way affect the contestants chances
for winning the five greater prizes.
These prizes and the other expense
connected with the contest will cost
The Herald more than $1,000, but
we are willing to make this sacrifice
in order to add to our list the hundreds
of new subscriptions that the contest
will bring US. We want our friends
in all parts of the county to become
regular and permanent readers of our
paper and are making this supreme
effort for that end.
All new subscribers who enroll
during this contest, paying one year
or more in advance, will be given
The Herald, weekly for one year,
Today's Magazine, monthly, for one
year, and The Wisconsin Farmer,
weekly, for one year, all for $3.50,
which is the regular price of The
Herald alone. Enroll now with one
of our numerous contestants. Read
over the list of such names in another
column and let one of them have the
votes that go with each years sub
scriptiOn.
