When you trade with Tod Littell, the hardware man, or at Parker’s Racket store, or go to the picture show, ask for tickets in the automobile contest for your friends who are in the race. Contestants will bear in mind that their tickets must be turned in no later than next Monday to be counted. Since the new additions to the ticket giving, some of the contestants have made large gains, and interest grows rapidly as time passes, and especially since the date for closing has been set so much earlier. As announced two sets of the prize dishes will be given away the first of next month, and to those who have not yet won any of these special prizes. Some splendid work can be done during the holiday season.
