Herald, Lexington, Ky.
Dear MIR. BaXley:
We want YOU to know that the
Serving Circle of the First Bap-
fist chaTth of Richmond has en-l
joye} the contest. You haveI
corr7eucted it in such an agreeable
way that it has been nothing but
pleasure and delight to work |
for one of the prizes. The spe- !
cial offers that you gave and the |
nice little surprises that came outl
in the Lexington Herald kept us
all working hard and thrilled |
with the realization that every |
week we were able to send in
greater number of labels than
the week before.
The people of Richmond were |
more than glad to buy the prod |
ucts we asked them to buy in Or
der to help us. Our merchants
were all delighted with the con-
test and were glad to order ev-I
erything we asked, and complain
ed that they could not possibly |
keep stocked up in the products
we were advertising. All of Our
merchants permitted us to put
containers i'll their stores, so the
customers could drop the labels
i'll the cans and help the, Baptists !
build new church. Every mer-
chant i'll town who handled the,
products we advertised decorated !
their windows with those prod |
ucts and put attractive signs in
them, suggesting that everybody |
help the Serving Circle by buy |
ing a good supply. Our local
newspaper did an unlimited
amount Of advertising free of;
charge and helped us make at
tractive advertisements. In fact,
it seems that everybody in the |
town and county co-operated
with lis, and everybody is now
waiting and hoping to hear that
we have won the prize. Our
merchants are all sorry that the
contest has closed and all say |
without exception there never
was such an advertising scheme
launched.
The Serving Circle is a young
organization and the work in the
contest is the first it has ever
done. Our church for long
time has been a struggling
church, but in recent years has
outgrown its place of worship
The church was first organized
by band Of consecrated Baptists (
about 43 years ago and held SER
vices in the same building with
the Primitive Baptists and for a |
long time our present buildingl
was sufficiently large for otll't
needs. The Baptist denomina
ton has grown to such an extent
that it is now necessary to build |
larger church in order to ac-l
commodate the congregation and
the numbers of Baptist students
who come to our town. Easternl
