If you can find that many you can consider yourself a pretty good proof reader. Mr. H. N. Bellinger, of Bamberg, wins the $1.00 prize for finding the greatest number of typographical errors, his number being 17. His nearest competitors found 15 errors. A great many of those answering the rrmtest marked words that were not errors at all. This was especially true of the word "grey" in the advertisement of C. R. Brabham's Sons. Many marked this "gray." However, referring to Webster, you will find that either spelling is correct. The first error on the page escaped the greater number of contestants; this error being the word "boy's," which should have been "boys'." Errors may be found on the page in the words indicated below: The word "boy's," in C. R. Brabham's Sons' advertisement; ."line" in Price & Johnson; "send" in Chinese Laundry (upturned "s"); "Rexall" in Mack's Drug Store; "millinery" and "suits" in Hooton's Ladies Store and Millinery Parlor; "A-l," upturned period following this word, and "explain," in Star Pressing Club; period following word "waists," and "price," in Klauber's; comma omitted after the word "hats," and "i" omitted in "hosiery," in Rentz & Felder; "cheerfully," in Mack's Barber Shop; "telephone" in Delk's Market; "Bamberg" in W.
