CLASS QU|PS
GREAT FUN
FOR ALL
Contest Is Entertaining to
Whole Family, and
Profitable.

"Whopee." exclaims the family
humorist, "The Light has started
a contest and it's the best yet. even
better than the crossword puzzles
Oh! boy it's contagious, everybody
has the fever. it's Knockout"
Imagine an evening gown half off
Well that is Just the way one ad read.
The advertiser was in a hurry when
he placed the ad in the paper, or prob
ably he was trying to save words. At
any rate the ad ran like this:
FOR sALE-A beautiful evening gown,
latest style. half off.
1t could be the price was half Of
or possibly the gown was half off.
Another ambiguous al read:
1925 Ford coupe. practically new. bal
10 ms with spare. good one.
Now just what about this is "a
good one," is it the spare or the
coupe?
Startling, very III usual! A Frigid-
aire with or without furnishings and
draperies! The ad ran:
NICE modern home for sale, fireplace,
tiled bath. built-in bookcases. seven
rooms. breakfast nook. also Frigidaire
can be purchased on easy terms at at
tractive price with or without furnish
ings and draperies.
These are Just a few examples OF
how easy it is to find quips. The
Quip Editor wants you to find an ad
in the classified columns that appeals
to your sense of humor. clip it and
send it in. He has a stack Of dollar
bills ready to give for each quip that
he publishes.
FUN FOR FAMILY.
The entire family can participate in
this. 1t is good entertainment while
waiting for the VICAR radio program
TO begin each evening. Even father,
while reclining in his easy chair in
front of the glowing fireplace, Will
find it interesting to search the CLASH
find columns for quips.
Not only is this a good form OF en-
tertainment but it is also a paying
proposition. Dollar bills always find
a welcome home around Christmas. 1t
is not difficult. Some of the quips
can be recognized at the first glance
while others require little concen-
trated thought.
Each day the Quip Editor is going
to publish some Of these quips. All
you have to do is to select your quip,
clip it out and send it in with some
snappy or funny comment on the ad.

be sent along with it.
If the Quip Editor selects your quip
for publication you will be given a
nice new dollar bill. This is a clean
contest for entertainment of the entire
family. Young folks, old folks, and all
can join in the sport. Start now, get
in line and stay there, someone is 60
ing to win these dollar bills and you
might as well be a winner.

new plans to interest the readers of
your excellent paper and inclose a
couple Of quips based on ads in issue
