made products and thereby
stimulating consumption of
these products, the mer-
chants of San Antonio, under
the auspices of The Light,
are offering $500 in cash
prizes to organizations OF
San Antonio in return for
votes based on labels, car
tons, wrappers, ETC., from To-
cal products. The first prize
is $1,000; the second, $500;
the third, fourth and fifth,
500 each. Very little time
or extra effort is required to
win in this contest. All that
is necessary is to save labels
and turn them in to the con-
test manager at The Light,
where proper credit will be
received.
1t is urged that San An
tonic housewives save every
label tina t bears the trade
mark of a manufacturer or
merchant participating in
this campaign. Just as quick
ly as these labels are collect
ed bring them to the cam
paign manager at his office
at The Light where proper
credit will be given.
1t is suggested that ar
rangements be made in COM
peting organizations to have
Individual members call at
contest headquarters when
ever possible with vote ma
terial. The campaign man
ager will issue vote certltl-
Gates in the name OF the Or
ganization which can be
turned over to the organ'-
cation contest manager.
II is believed that this arrange
ment will allow the campaign man
ager the opportunity u explain 10
members o. the different orgahl-
cations directly, questions that VIII
come up from Iime to time. Also
1t will dispatch and do away with
the necessity OF campaign NAH
ayers collecting vote material IN
large quantities.
For the benefit Of those who
may not yet be familiar with the
rules OF The contest. 1t Is stated
mat any church, fraternal, beneyo-
lent, charitable or CIVIC organlza-
ton may enter the contest ana
participate IN the prizes at the
close OF the contest.
All that is necessary for, an or
ganlzation to 90 TO enter the con-
lest Is to iii out the nomination
blank printed elsewhere IN Inc
Llgnr and forward it to the CAM
paign manager at MS Office III Inc
Light. IhIs nomination blank,

1t should be remembered by
contestants that Local prouuL ~

Some housewives, it is sad to say,
in the past have laDore1 unaer lue
impression that San Antonio-made
products were not as gooG as THOSE
made elsewhere. This Is a mis-
take, as any housewife who has
given these products fair trial
will tell you.
Every cents worth of merchan-
disc made or featured by manu-
tacturers or merchants co-operat-
ing in the present contest counts
for ten votes. Therefore, house
wives who insist on local products

needs should have no trouble in
