What I Like and What I Don’t
Like About STAMFORD
$10 for the Two Best Answers. $5 for the Two Second Best
HERE IS THE PLAN IN FULL
The Stamford Leader, the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, the City Council, the Churches, the Schools, the Merchants and all others who arc identifi-
ed with the civic, commercial, educational and religious activities of Stamford, arc all interested in making Stamford the best town in Texas. If The Stamford of
tomorrow is a better town than Stamford of today, Stamford must retain and strengthen all of the favorable points, and at the same time, correct all objection-
able points which the town as a town, may possess. In order to accomplish this result, it is neceessary that some idea be had regarding the favorable and the unfav-
orable points possessed by Stamford—and the ideas of Jones county people living OUTSIDE of Stamford are of as much importance as are the ideas of those liv-
ing INSIDE the corporate limits of Stamford. In order to obtain these ideas. The Stamford Leader submits the following proposition:
FIVE DOLLARS FOR YOUR
IDEAS
For the best'article or letter, not to exceed 500
>yords in length, written by man, woman, boy or
~ girl, living in Jones county, whose home is OUT-
SIDE of the city limits of Stamford, on the sub-
ject, “What"I Like and What I Don’t Like About
Stamf^d,” received at The Stamford Leader of-'
'fice not later than 12 o’clock, Saturday, Sep-
tember 4, 1926, The Stamford Leader will pay $5
cash.

I Leader office not later than 12 o’clock. Saturday,
September 1, 1926, The Stamford Leader will pay
$5 cash. „ V't*

ford leader w ill pay $2.50.

man, woman and child in Jones county likes. On
the other hand there are probably some things
many of us do not like. In each group, the man
woman, boy or girl who puts his or her own ideas
in the most readable and comprehensive form in
not more than 500 words, will win the first prize.
