Santa Claus, true to his promise,
left cash prizes at the office of the
Redwood Gazette for six winners in
the letter contest.
A call at the office, by the young
sters whose letters were picked as
best, will give the first prize winner
in the city of Redwood Falls division
three dollars; second place, two dol
lars, and third best, one dollar.
First prize outside of Redwood
Falls is also first, three dollars; sec
ond, two and third, one dollar.
Because of the excellence of the
large number of letters mailed to
Santa Claus in care of the Redwood
Gazette, the good old gift giver found
it rather difficult to choose the win
ners, but after reading, and re-read-
ing these little missives, Santa final
ly made his selection.
City division winners: First, Dom
aid William Gold, grade "a; second,
Robert Bravinder, grade ga, and
third, Frank Forbes, grade la.
