Real Thrill.
Miss Ella Fem, the "Advo GIRL"
candidate for McCord- Brady COM
pany, who won fourth place, got
real thrill from the campaign.
II didn't know until the last min
ute whether or not was going to
win," said Miss Fem. "Our organ
ization was smaller than most Of the
others, but the spirit was there in
large quantities, backing me every
| minute. One doesn't realize how
wonderful ones friends and ones Or
ganization are until such test as
this"

vate secretary to A. B. Warren, vice

tions."
Miss Anna McNamara, 2420 North

the NJ. E. Smith & Co., were Miss
McNamara's campaign managers.
That they waged a whirlwind CAM
paign is shown by the 28,S68 votes

Perhaps the greatest thrill received
by any Omaha candidate was expcri-
enced by Miss Kathleen Rossiter,
Orchard. & Wilhelm candidate, who
held sixth place and won trip al
though for time it appeared she had
lost
Trip Means Lot.
It means lot to Miss Rossiter-
going to France. She wanted to go
during the war, like most other girlsAI
But her knowledge of the city and
her wide acquaintance here made her
invaluable to the Home Service of
the Red Cross. She served here with
this organization three years, sacri-
fcing her desire to 60 to France be-
cause she believed she would be of
more service in Omaha.
There was the faintest hint of
tears in Miss Rossiter's eyes when
she learned of her success.
First of all l must thank the Or
chard & Wilhelm company and
everyone connected with it." she
said. "They did everything possible
for me. and I hope my winning the
trip will make them happy; for after

even if l hadn't won the trip /
wouldn't have been sorry for my
part III the campaign"
