MATTERS TO GIVE vlcTRoLA
IN ADDITION TO THE CAR

The contest sale being held at VIII
tremendous success that the firm has
decided to give a victrola to the CON
testant having the second largest mum
Der Of votes at the close of the con.
test
The results that are being obtained
from this contest sale are beyond the
Expectations Of the firm. Twenty-Five
have entered the race.
The Star touring car will be awarded
to the contestant having the largest
number of votes at the close OF the
contest and the victrola to the con
testant having the next largest number
of votes. Both prizes are we'll worth
working for.
OF the twenty-five contestants that
have entered-from Delta, Olathe
Read. Somerset and Austin-about fif
teen of them are working hard and
they are going about the matter in a
very energetic and systematic way
They are having no trouble in selling
the i've dollar trade cards. These
cards are good for five dollars in trade
or can be used to apply on book &C
counts. There is no time limit in
which they must trade them out. The
friends OF the contestants are buying
the cards gladly. for not only do the
cards entitle the contestant to 10000
extra votes. for each one they sell. but
these cards when traded out during
the sale get the purchaser a great
deal more than five dollars worth OF
merchandise. The buying public OF
Delta county seems to be very much
alive to the fact that Mathers' store
is offering them real bona fide bar
gains on reputable, quality merchan-
dise-merchandise of the caliber that
has made the Mathers 40 years repu-
tation a household word.
Commercially Delta as whole Is
profiting by this contest A town
grows in proportion to the growth of
the towns business houses-amongst
other things. This sale is drawing
more and more people from further
and further distances every day. A
great many people are coming to Delta
who have never been here before and
some who haven't been coming very
often. In that way Delta and these
folks are getting acquainted. and it's
up to Delta to make a good impression
so that these folks will come back
more often and recommend Delta as n
trading center to their friends and
neighbors. That is what tends to
make business houses grow and in
turn make the town grow.
Consequently, It Is very plain to
see that win H. Mathers Is taking a
big step towards advertising Delta. or
course BY doing 30 he Is Advertising
his store, but at the same time the
other Delta business houses are profit
ing also.
