Each of the merchants who have been
named in the statement of awards by
the JUDGES will receive the prize that
has been provided to give to use as he
sees fit There are five prizes in the
form Of scholarships in the Information
al Correspondence Schools. which have
been purchased outright by The Times.
The announcement Of the award of the
judges Is regarded as one of the best
evidences of the absolute fairness Of
the contest to the merchants who en-
tered their shops. The classification OF
the merchants was found by the judges
to give them o much better opportunity
TO make the awards In absolute Justice
than any othor method that could have
I'll Nd -
their praises OF the system.
The separation of the various kinds
Of merchandise made II possible for all
the merchants to compete. IL Is pointed
out that the store which scored the
highest number OF points Is not a store
where a professional window dresser is
employed. The professional came in for
recognition OF his ability In the classes
where professional window dressers are
employed.
Announcement of the award OF the
three cash prizes has been found a
much more difficult Job than at
first appeared, because of the th1u-
sands OF readers of The Times who
sembled for the classification Of these
coupons made little Roadway last night
or this morning 1t will require at
least a day to make up the class ifcation

answers.
The Times readers whose opinions re-
Earding the displays coincided with
from the others ard the three so cash
prizes will DO awarded on the basis OF
the opinions expressed In the reasons
given for the Judgment. It II possible
that the list will be In readiness fer
publication tomorrow.
