The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-11-10
Wonderful Demonstration of Merit

The fact that this contest has en-
listed the personal interest of prac-
tically a hundred contestants, during
the opening week, without the least
pesSonal solicitation, is a forcible and
convincing demonstration of the val
ue of advertising, especially where the
advertiser has really important an
nouneement.
The Times management is wonder
fully pleased with the interest that
has been Immediately aroused in this
contest, with nothing but the adver-
tising itself to add zest to the enter
prise. Such evidence of the merit of
good advertising should prove to be
altogether convincing to every real
/ merchant. e.
PrOmptness Prime Essential
Several guesses have arrived this
week too late to be listed, but all will
be counted this week. In future,
however, until the contest closes, no
guess will be recorded that reaches
this office later than Tuesday eve
nmg. 1t is, therefore, of utmost inn
postance that all who are partieipat-
| ing IS this contest should send in their,
replies early. The missing word this
week begins with an "f" and ends
with an "s". With the exception of
a very few, all answers for last week
were correct. We are giving this
week a full list of those sending in
the correct answer for the first week,
but such list will not be repeated.
The contestants themselves should
keep their score from week to week.
Those beginning 100 per cent. to the
good are:
