MANY ENTRIES IN RACE FOR PIANO

Many Contestants art Striving for Beautiful Instrument ALL HAVE AN EQUAL CHANCE To Secure This Fine $350 Piano Absolutely Free—Free Certificates at Stores Makes Big Hit. That a great deal of interest in The Democrat’s big $350 free piano contest has been aroused is evidenced daily by the number of persons who are making inquiries and sending in candidates names and votes.

It is gratifying to The Democrat to- have so much interest shown at the start of the contest, and while the offer has only been in force since July 17, the great interest already shown in the race assures us that our big free offer is appreciated. Seldom before has The Demo-, crat attempted such a big proposition. To say that the contest is a success is putting it mildly as it already excels our expectations. ;

Now is the time to get started. If you don’t get the piano, some one else will. And the second highest candidate will receive the $35 “Free” Sewing Machine, while the third highest candidate gets the S2O silver set. Both the piano and sewing machine are on exhibition in D. M. Worland’s furniture store, while the silver set is on display at Jessen, the Jeweler’s. Get started today, don’t wait. Go to see your friends, and ask their help. If you have no friends, you’re In a bad way. We hope you have and if you hustle around you’ll be surprised how many people will help you. Everybody is willing to help a hustler.

Don’t forget to ask for the certificates with every cash purchase of a dollar’s worth or over. The following stores have these certificates:

Ask for them and get your neighbors and friends to save their certificates for you. Each dollar’s worth of these certificates counts 100 votes. They are free. All you have to do is ask for them.

You will never get an opportunity to secure a piano any cheaper—as it costs you nothing. Not one cent. A $350 instrument may be yours just by exercising a little ambition; a little of the spirit “I will.” Get busy now; right this minute. Run in to the next door neighbor’s and ask them to save their certificates for you. Once you are started it’ll be so easy to get folks to save certificates for you that you’ll wonder why you delayed at all. All coupons that have appeared in The Democrat can be voted up to August 10; after that they will be good for 10 days only.

For each new subscriber to The Democrat you get 3,000 votes; for each renewal you get 1,500 votes. Could we make it any easier?
