11 dJ-
kt<> e.
These eonpoiis are good for
2^ votes ea li and count just
as well as though yon had,
gotten them at this office.
The second way and i n' way
to get the luge eon; .its is
to snhsrihe |.or the Hera.(' get
your neighbor to ubseribe, pay |
and have him pay all arre.ir-'
age and pay in h Ivanee. The ,
last is the best way ot all to
get more votes. You can pay
as far in advance as you please
and the more you pay,' the
the larger coupon you get.
For a while the ballot box
will be kept at this ofiice, as
we keep longer business hour
than any ot the bank's, and
you can vote early and late.
After the tickets are given
out we have nothing to do
with them except 10 hand over
the prizes to such as ire de-i
dared the winners by the a
warding committee.
\Yc guarantee this contest j
to be absolutely fair and honest
and at the end of thirty days
three disinterested persons
will open the box and count
the votes. The young ' tdy
that has the largest number
of votes at that time will lie
awarded a 510. gold piece.
In another 30 days this will
be repeated, and at the end of
t"e last *0 days the box will
be opened and the final award
be made, when all the prizes
as advertised will be given out.
We know there has been j
dissatisfaction in these coii'|
tests and have adopted the
above plan to satisfy everyone
interested that there can be
nothing wrong in this one,
and that every one will get a
square deal and an honest
count.
It is better iliat you deposit
your votes often, as they will
then be in safe keeping, and
at the same time no one will
know how many you have, as
no one will have a look iu the
box until the first count is
made on Sept. 27th.
Above all things get busy.
The names of the young ladies
who have already been nomin-
ated in this contest are given
below. We want each one of
them to call at the Herald of-
fice and get a book of receipt
and copy of the Herald to
work with and get busy. The
one who does the best work
is going to have that beauti-
ful Obermeyer & Sons piano

to go to that organization. :
