The contest is open to all bona fde

printing this booklet the price will be

Reference Record. Contestants in ord
er to he absolutely sure Of their work
should have one Of these books.
Similar contests Of this nature have
shown that many contestants desire to
make more than one selection as a pos
sible answer 70 each picture. and the
Journal has made the rule that each
contestant may submit as many as 10
answers TO each picture If he so de-
sires. Extra copies Of any particular
pictures may De had at &c each. How
ever, should a contestant decide to use
many extra pictures the cost would be
considerable. Having this in mind the
Journal has prepared book known as
the Solution Blank Book, wherein may
be set down as many as ten titles TO
each Of the 50 pictures. The big saw
ing effected by the use Of this book can
readily be seen by a little figuring.
Suppose you decide to use an average
of four answers to each picture. The
total number Of pictures will be so and
four answers 10 each is 800 answers.
Each extra picture costs &c which
would make the total cost S640 In

testants the Journal will sell this book
for 45c. If both books are ordered to-
gether the price for both will be Soc.
