DISCONTINUE THE GIVING
OF MONOPLANE GLIDERS
The Quaker Oats company ad
vises this newspaper that with the
exhaustion of its supply of Wright
Dayton monoplane gliders (and the
last one was given out nearly a week
ago) there will be no more available
for the present, at least. Instead,
the prize to be given with Quaker
trademarks will be Dick Daring's
Magic Trick Book, which were put
out a year or two ago on a similar
offer.
The Journal has put out a large
number of the monoplane gliders,
but with the exhaustion of its sup
ply last week, is arranging for an
other shipment of the trick books.
As soon as they arrive they will be
available to boys and girls bringing
in Quaker trademarks.
It is not certain whether the free
glider offer will be revived when
spring opens up or not. They have
proven most popular and for weeks
scarcely a day went by but there
were one or more boys or girls on
hand with trademarks for a plane.
