CONDITIONS.
The conditions in this contract are so simple that we hardly need
to make a paragraph of them. You do not need to read over and mem
orize a long list of rules for fear of making a mistake, or forge tting
something. Any person who desires to do so can enter the contest.
It makes no difference whether young e.r old, handsome or homely,
male or female. There will be no religious or political condition
There is no fee of any kind to be paid. The only restriction we make
regarding these rize-s is at eve ry contestant who wins a prize must
secure at least EIGHT NEW YEARLY subscribers. This is so smalj
a condition that it is hardly worth telling about. During the contest
we will publith, from week to week, the standing of the various contestants.
This will not be a long drawn out contest. It will take a few weeks to get the voting under good headway, and after that a couple of months ought to be long enough
to enable the contestants to make a pretty good canvass of the various localities. It is our desire to make this a short, active contest.
In due time the closing date will be announced and then there will be no postponements and no delays.
It takes nerve to offer such prizes as we will give in this Contest, but we have the nerve and the prizes are waiting for the winners.
