The Winslow mail., 1925-01-16

directors or the WlnSlOW Commercial
club were hard put to it to choose
from the 146 slogans submitted before
noon last Saturday the three which
should be adjudged most suitable for
advertising purposes of the club.
Terse, explicit and suggestive slo-
gans were the ones sought, and that
the three chosen for the prize win
ners, and the fourth or special prize
awarded for uniqueness and beauty
of design, will eminently fill the re-
quirements and prove of satisfaction
to all, is the unanimous opinion of the
judges. The officers and directors
who were responsible for the selec-
tions were Chas. Dare, Rene Pincetl,
H. j. Fouts, G. G. Payne, F. B. Doug
las, directors, and William Nagle,
Chas. L. Murphy and Chas. P. Mason.
Six of the eight judges had slogans
of their own submitted, but to Mayor
Douglas alone fell the honor of hav-
ing his own slogan chosen by the
rest of the committee, none of whom
however, until after the winners had
been definitely picked, knew that His
Honor was one of the prize winners.
Every slogan submitted was consid-
cred by the judges. Before the bal
loting commenced everyone of the
146 was read aloud and discussed.
Following free comment on each, all
but 43 were eliminated because of
some reason that would make the use
of that particular slogan unsuited to
the purposes of the club.
The 43 slogans remaining to be
voted on were Nos. 2, Z, 16, II, 24,
30, 40, Al, AZ, 43, 46, so, 81, So, So, 62,
SO, "a, IS, 81, IA, rs, Is, 80, 85, SO, SO,
SO, 81, 1O7, 112, 12O, 122, 123, 1875, 1873,
1874, 135, 1877, 140, LA, 145 and 146.
In another column the numbered
slogans will be found
These numbers were all read a Sec
Ond time and discussed before the
committee proceeded to eliminate by
process of voting, all except the ten
receiving the highest score The re-
suit of this vote was that all but the
following numbers were eliminated:
z, 40, 5S, 62, 81, sc, SO, 81 and 1872.
These ten were for the third time
read aloud and discussed, and third
vote taken, each judge voting for four,
the decision being that the three high
est would receive the prizes in the
order of their popularity. The vote
resulted in Nos. 40 and 5S being tied
for first choice, No. SO second choice
and No eliminated. Another vote
was taken to decide first and second
choice with the result that Dad
Ament's brain child was adopted
unanimously by the directors on be-
half of the club.
More than $50 slogans were sub
mitted in the contest, however a num-
Der arrived long after the closing
hour, and after the printed proofs of
the list were in the hands of the COM
mittee members.
The Mail regrets being unable this
week to reproduce the sketch submit
ted by Mrs. FitZsimmOns, which was
given a special prize, but the draw
ing is now in the hand of the en-
gravers and several days may elapse
before the printing plates are receiv-
ed.
And so ends one of the most sue
cessful slogan contests ever held,
successful in it's result, and more than
successful in the amount of interest
it created, and the bringing out of
many expressions Of great apprecia-
tion of the advantages, beauties and
opportunities to be found in and
around Winslow, Navajo county, Ari-

of your liver:
81 have been reading and hearing
of the enthusiastic slogan contest you
are putting on and I want to contri-
butte a slogan. l am very much in
love with Winslow, and even though
we have only been here few months,
we feel very much at home here and
want to make this our home. AS a
newcomer l want to tell you how
your, nay our, little city impresses
me.
you know sometimes, I think a
newcomer can see things and notice
things about town that the older
residents take for granted or do not
realize so much nor appreciate the
value of. Therefore 1 just wonder if
all the people in Winslow fully ap-
preciate the friendliness of the town
in general. We have been very much
impressed with it from the very first
days of our living here, and we came
here as strangers, without knowing
anyone.
ION every hand, we have been made
to feel that we were welcome and
at home, and every week there are
new evidences of the frindly spirit
shown all around u.s. AS one lady
here remarked, We are all one big
family in Winslow
ut seems to me that that big won
