Will He Be the One to Get $1,000 for Answering
Bee's Intelligence Questionnaire ?
$3,500 in Cash Prizes Someone Will Get $1,000
Will be distributed by The Bee among the
persons who send in answers to the ques
tions in the "Intelligence ' Questionnaire"
'.,;:...:.
r A short time ago Mr. Edison gave out a list of questions,
which were spread broadcast across the country stating his
opinion as to the things a college man should know to be quali
fied in holding a job in any ordinary business. There has been
a great deal of comment about these questions and many
people have considered that Mr. Edison's list did not give a
fair rating of the intelligence of the person under examination.
At the present time qualifying oneself to get or hold a
good job is the paramount question with most people.
For the entertainment of the many who are interested in
this subject, The Bee is printing a list of questions of a general
nature. These questions . are o f f ered as a fair test of the intel
ligence of the ordinary person who holds an ordinary job and
to make it interesting to our readers we are offering cash
prizes for answers.
In cash for answering these questions
and 99 others will get cash prizes
ranging from $1.00 to $500.00 each
Here is a chance to prove that you not only are intelligent
enough to hold the ordinary job, but also that you are intelli
gent enough. to grasp the opportunity to make extra money
when this opportunity is offered to you.

very little effort and'you do not need to be a subscriber to
The Bee in order to have your answers given every con
