AID WRITER'S CONTEST GROWS
 MORE SPIRITED EVERY DAY

Have you received your credentials as delegate to The Age-Heralds advertising convention?
 This is the question that is being asked In all parts of the city among young and old advertising writers. Everyone is entering the contest with spirit, and every writer of an advertisement wants to know who his brother delegates are. That's where the politics come in.
 As is well known The Age-Herald is offering a $750 player-piano to the fortu- nate advertising writer who is selected at a convention to be held on December 23 as having written the most convincing advertisement appearing in The Age-Her- ale: from the moment the contest opened to it's close.
 The conditions of the contest are sim plicity itself. Anyone can enter who writes an ad and gets it printed. It

costs nothing but the effort to compose a good readable advertisement. A high school boy or these young clerks in the department stores who desire to inn press their employers with their knowl- edge of how goods should be sold have enly to write an advertisement and have it appear in The Age-Herald. If it is worthy it will be printed and the writer credited and given credentials to enter The Age-Herald convention as a dele gate.
 Of course, it is at the convention that the real fun will begin. This conven- ton is going to be managed on the same plan as national democratic or repub- liean convention. The deelgates will as- semble, nominate chairman, and then start debate and balloting for the suc- cessful nominee. By this method 1t is assured that the best advertising writer in Birmingham is bound to come to the front.
