Spcial Service Checks that are dated
previous to April 21st, will be void.
Be sure to get in all votes by next
Wednesday and that your report is

Six weeks more of the campaign,
8ix weeks more of little extra effort
on your part, thirty-six more days of
hustling and the piano will be yours.
Ofcourse it means work for you—
you would hardly expect us to don-
ate you a piano worth $600.00 in ad-
dition to Silverware such as we are
giving away unless we expected to
get something from you in return for
it. Let's be fair and frankabout this
matter. We are asking you to work
for us and for that work we are will-
ing to pay you well. Isn't
enough?
Remember the grand prizes will go
to the contestants that EARN them;
there is absolutely no chance or gam-
ble about the proposition.
The silverware prize this week goes
to a member of Club No. 62.
