As Manager of the Sale and Contest conducted for the H. M. Soen
nichsen Co., I want to thank the contestants personally for the
confidence they have shown in so many ways during the past three
weeks. I wanted to tell you this personally but everything was in
such confusion last night I did not have the opportunity. The only
disagreeable part of the vocation which I follow that of conducting
contests is seeing all of the candidates lose, except one but if it
were otherwise, it would not be a contest. I do my best to conduct a
contest clean and honest as I know you all believe and I thank you
most sincerely. B. A. Harris.
