The huge accumulation OF slips
has kept the tabulator busy until

count, inspected the records and
the triplicate checking system and
al expressed their approval Of the
fairness Of the awards. 49,
The campaign primarily was to
encourage the trade-at-home move
ment. and judging from the results
It well served the purpose. The deal
was largely financed and the prize
money contributed by the sponsor
ing merchants whose sales slips
counted as votes in the contest. TO
these merchants the prize winners
owe vote Of confidence and thanks
for their part. This expression can
best be made by continuation Of
patronage and q word Of personal
commendation.

The above merchants, as their
part IN the l3-weeks campaign Jus.
closed, used advertising space in
1e nome paper, proving the state
ut so frequently made that, In
me long run, advertised articles
mus be good, economical and Of a
@snE standard in quality. Con-
ners win find that advertised
cnandise can be depended upon
1of these qualities, for by the In
ed sales resulting from adver-
using quantity production creates
!ualty, while at the same time re-
oucmg the purchase price.
