second highest $1,000 in gold to the third So
in gold and five one-dollar awards to the
next five highest.
Then the other $4,000 in gold will be sub
divided the same as in contest No. /.
This is plain, isn't it? Now follow out
the rules and the advice given you here and
you cannot go astray. In the event of a tie
in either case the prize will be equally di-
vided.
Each succeeding week the editor will tell
you in a frst-page write-uP what the miss
ing word was, and between what words it
was omitted and the merchants advertise
ment from where it has been omitted. The
word also will be put back in the advertise
ment the following week, so as to let you see
from where it had been removed. Then we
will proceed in the write-up and also in the
rules to tell you what the missing word for
the week begins and ends with on each page
for the week and so on.
The word from contest l must be filled in
on the return blank for that particular page,
and the same with return blank for contest 2.
We know this contest will interest father
and mother, brothers and sisters, grandma
and grandpa. 1t will interest the banker,
lawyer, doctor, school teachers, clerks, bust
ness men, farmers, domestics and their re-
spective families and others.
The merchants who have advertisements
on these pages are all live and energetic
businsse men. In fact, this may be said of
all our business men. We are indeed very
sometime again we will give those who are
not in this opportunity of getting in on
something just as good.
Those who read the ads will not only be
in for winning a fine purse of gold, but they
will run across some of the greatest bargains
offered in Pleasantville. Then they will also
become acquainted with the business of mer-
chants who keep certain lines of goods.
Each merchant will back up every statement
made in his or her ad.
A final word to our readers. Jump in and
stick to it. Be a winner. The world likes
winners. The contest is strictly educative /;
will tend to make every one the better for
being in it from an educational standpoint.
Return blanks may be mailed or brought
to The Pleasantville Press office. Send an
swers to each page in together. A complete
record of each blank will be kept daily, by
the editor who will be in charge and all
blanks will be kept until the end of the con-
test. No matter where you live send in an
answer each week, and be sure to get it in
the prescribed time. Every member of the
family can send in an answer to each page
! each week if they desire to. The only thing
you will have to do will be to get a paper
with the blank and contest in.
If you have any news items bring them in
when you bring your answers in. They
will be cheerfully printed. All persons en-
tering the contest should send in both an
swers together. Now, away you go, and let
us see what kind of a hunter you really are.
Many sample copies are bling sent out to
those who do not take The Pleasantville
Press regularly. If you get a copy send in
your answers. After the third week all sam
pie copies will be cut off, so the proper and
safe thing for you to do is to NIL out the
subscription blank on another page, then you
will get The Pleasantville Press as long as
you want it.
We do not know of any easier way you
can win a purse of real gold. Any one can
enter the contest. The only thing you will
have to do will be to get The Press, and then
proceed to hunt for the word. This will dem
~onstrate what kind of a hunter you really
are.
Now if you should happen to miss three
or four words do not get discouraged, as it is
not thought that any one will be alert enough
to find all the words, as we shall make
them good and hard towards the last The
highest number found at the close may not
exceed eight or nine, so you see what an ex-
cellent opportunity you will have. The only
persons who are barred from participating
spective families. This is only fair to our
