THE HERALD Is GRATEFUL.

Now that the Herald S great sub
scriptlon contest is ended, and the
prizes awarded TO those who have won
them. we feel that il i due To the con
testantS and To the hundreds who have
aided the contestants by giving them
subscriptions To the Herald that we
should express uur deep appreciation
OF their efforts and ut the splendid re-
suits which have been achieved by
them in building mp the circulation OF
the paper. 1t was with the hope of
increasing our circulation. So rs TO
make the Herald 4 more valuable and
attractive advertising medium than
ever before. that we entered into this
contest. In order to effect oar object,
we believed il was only right that we
should make our prizes rs valuable and
desirable as we possibly could, - that
contestants would feel that the prizes
were worth 4 lot OF very hard work.
The prizes were genuine in every res
pect. There was not one of them of
fered but what was well worth work
ing for and well worth having.
The results of the contest have been
most gratifying, and We feel well re-
paid for our efforts. Hundreds of new
names have beecn added to our sub
Scriptl0n listS,Whilc hundreds Of Our
old subscribers have paid various
amounts III the contest, running All the
way from three or SIX months 10 five
wears. \ surprisingly large number OF
five year subscriptions Were turned IN.
The Herald is justly entitled IA con
rafulationS upon the success of the
r-gst III addition to = considerable

tire section. The future growth of orr
