a page advertisement. offering $40 in
prizes for the three best answers to the
question, What IN your estimation is the
most important news or advertising fea-
ture that should appear on this page each
Sunday. and Why"
The advertisement was purposely left
blind The public had no intimation
Of who was the author of the contest, so
the widest possible range Of ideas was
AFFORDED to the contestants
The response was exceedingly crafty
ing and the number OF answers received
bears ample testimony Of the grovins
circulation of The Washington Herald
II is worthy OF notice that although
the contest designated either advertising
or news feature, the majority Of the sew
eral hundred replies suggested the ad-
visibility Of this location for the page
advertising Of some large firm, which
should be devoted to bargains
That the public has learned to recos-
nlse large advertisers was demonstrated
by the fact that without knowledge
Of who was running the contest several Of
the replies in addition to the prize win
ners mentioned Berberich's as the logical
advertiser for this page.
