BIG DAY SATURDAY
FOR LITTLE GIRLS
ricture Drawing Contest Closed ut
Wllkes & Company7? Store iiii? i!n
**Whole Tush" was Present.
In spite of the rainy and slushy
weather Saturday, the store of S. M.
& E. H. Wilkes & Co. was filled to ov
erflowing with little girls, big girls,
married girls and other girls and men
too to witness the closing scenes of
the picture coloring contest. For
those who do not know what the pic
ture coloring contest was, It woulo bo
"well to state that this enterprising
kJlrm offered prizes to the three little
"" iris in the couny, under fourteen
^years of age, who made the best color
ing of printed pictures furnished by the
firm. The llttlo girl who finished the
best picture was to receive a small
Bucks store, the one who came second
a writing desk and the one who came
third a rocking chair. The contest be
gan some weeks ago and when it came
to a close Saturday morning enough
pictures were sent in to cover the pub-,
11c square, more or less. It looked
as if every little girl In the county had I
taken advantage of the offer because I
the prizes were of such value. About
nine o'clock in the morning the work
of weeding out the best from the poor
est of the pictures was begun and it
took until nearly one o'clock to de
cide on the winners. In the meantime
the store was packed and jammed with
little ones awaiting with interest the
decision of the judges. A couple of
false alarms caused a stampede or so
in the store, but outside of a few dish
es and tin pans being knocked down
no casualties resulted. Life was not
lacking during the morning's wait for
the little girls kept things humming.
About 112:30 Mr. S. M. Wilkes ap
peared with the winning pictures. The
"drove" of painters crowded around
the office of the company and grudg
ingly gave Hon. It. A. Cooper enough
room on top of one of the counters to
award the prizes. The first prize went
to Ilernice Meng, the second prize to
Rebecca Lake and the third prize to
Mary Blackwell. After these prizes
were awarded Mr. Cooper announced
that a prize would also bo given to
every child present, in the way of a
free ticket to the moxlng picture show,
free ticket to the moving picture show,
was stampeded for about three quart
ers of an hour, where Manager Lav
ender entertained them with three fine
reels. Although It was raining through
out the morning, the little folks had
a big time.
The Judges In the contest were Mrs.
Conway Garllngton, Miss Mary Simp
sun and Miss Irene Rny Although
they had quite a proposition on their
bunds, an Inspection of the pictures
would show plainly that their deci
sions were well made.
This contest of Messrs Wilkes & |
Co. recalls the biscuit baking contest
which they held some years ago Many
of the "young" ladies, (some of them
married now) remember quite dis
tinctly the big day which they had of
It in contesting for a stove, which was
given to the one declared to be the
best biscuit cooker. Many of those
contestants are now keeping house and
have bought of this firm stoves, furni
ture and other things with which they
came in contact on that memorable
day. Mrs. J. Y. Wallace, then "Mits"
Mamie Crews, proved herself the most
accomplished cook on that occasion.
