in which an opportunity of lifetime
is offered to some energetic man or
woman to win a Buick touring car all
by their own efforts and without one
cent Of cost to themselves.
In addition to the Buick touring car
there are four cash merchandise or

ing for. If anyone should enter and
work and fail to win a prize, they
will be paid a cash commission of 10

given to the five persons, either men
or women, who enter and secure the
largest number of votes by the date
set for the close of the contest. Votes
can only be secured in two ways, by
clipping out tie 50-vote free coupons
which are printed in the paper each
week, and by soliciting cash subscrip-
lions to the Herald.

ing in Lancaster or Grant county, who
will have a little spare time during
the next six weeks, cannot possibly
put their time to better use than by
entering this contest. There will be
thing There will be no favorites, and
each and every person who enters
will have the same chance of winning
the Buick as anyone else.
The Herald has selected a prize list
of sufficient size and value which it
feels should create a great deal of
competition. For this reason it in
vites more nominations. Active work
ers are needed in the contest. The
person who possesses the stick-to-it
qualities and who is energetic and
ambitious is the one who will win
the Buick car. There are always a
few who enter an affair of this kind
who soon drop by the wayside, who do
not possess the necessary qualities
to make a success of their efforts.
The contest manager will only pub
lish the names of those who notify
him that they wish to enter and give
the contest a trial. Below will be

press upon anyone contemplating en-
