they want made-whether .style,
?service, price, or what nit. If you
wish any Illustrations, come to the
advertising department of the Intelli
gencer, and they will bo chcefully sup
plied you. Don't try to write a "Ut
irary" ad; Just give good sense rea
rons as to why the public should pat
ronize that particular store, or why
thoy should buy this particular arti
cle at this particular time. Try to
make your ad logical and convincing.
You will thoroughly enjoy tho pas
time of preparing the ads; you may

tising, which pays some pretty nifty
salaries at the top of the heap.

derson Ad Mens Club will Judge thc
ads. and decide which ads win the
first, second and third prises. Thc
three winning ads will bc published
twice more after Sunday and the
Dames of the winners will also be pub
lished.
There ls considerable interest mani
fest already, and those who intend
snterolng will do well to call on the
merchants at once and get their
"dope** and begin at once the prepara
tion of their "copy.*'
The prises will be awarded for the

First prise..$5.00
Sc-jond Frito. .. .$2.50

bny; only a little brain work, which
ron will thoroughly enjoy, and some
body gets the money. It msy be you,
and then again tt may be some one
