It Is Simple. There are tiro war to cat votes. One deals with the patronage of tha retail merchants, and 'the other with the pur- rbste or the manufactured products, ay purchasing advertised products at adver tised establishments it Is possible to get votes twice for the aame purchase. THE FIRST METHOD I TOTES GIVE! BY RETAIL MERCHANTS AD VERTISED Iff CONTEST TO PATRONS UPON REQUEST AT THE RATE OF ONE FOR EACH B CENTS IN PUR CHASE. A list of the retail merchants, adver tising in connection with the competition, will be found In each issue, or Tne Her ald, in the advertisement of each or these merchants will he tound a line, reading. "We give votes In The Wash ington Herald's TS.vuu contest." The list of these merchants should be kept close at hand, so that they may Unnecessary Purchases Not Required. Second Purchase of manufactured! products advertised in conn nection with contest. No Money Demandei be patronized whet It la necessary to make a purchaie. '.The list Is a complete one, and there is fardly a conceivable article wbtch cannot be purchased at one of tha establishments. The Herald should be read carefully every day. The adven Isements are scat tered through the papet. It is a bad Plan merely to watch tha classified lists of sdvertlsers. By reading each of the ad vertisement closely and thoughtfully, the contestant will get an accurate know ledge of what the various merchants have to sell, and when It Is necessary to purchase any of these articles, he will know exactly where to go, and not only get what he wants, but procure the votes also. It fa advisable for contestants to secure copies of the list of advertising mer chants and manufacturers from the Ad vocate and distribute them among their friends, with the request that they, pat ronise the establishments and products and save the votes for them. By follow ing out this plan, the contestant will not be required to spend a cent to obtain votes. It Is no trouble to the friends. In asking a person to assist htm In the competition, a contestant is doing a valuable service to that peraon. For by patronizing these merchants and manu facturers, the public will be sure to get the best quality st the most reasonable pricea. THE SECOND METHODl VOTES GIVEN BY THE ADVOCATE AT HERALD HtrSINKSS OFFICE FOR LABELS, WRAPPERS. TRADE MARKS, nOTTT.i: CAPS. AND CAR TONS OF MANUFACTCREN PROD UCTS ADVERTISED IN CONTEST AT RATE OF ONE FOR EACH CENT IN PURCHASE. The advertisements of all manufac tured products. In particular, should te read carefully. In each is a sentence telling exactly what must be exchanged to secure votes. It may be a label, or a wrapper, or trade-mark, or a bottle cap, or a carton so In order to avoid mistake, it is advisable to' pay especial attention to this class of advertisements. These advertised products should al ways be purchased in preference to others. Contestants should ask their friends to buy these products snd to save the required medium of exchsnge fot them. Labels, trade-marks, &c from products sdvertlsd in th contest will be accepted regardless of whether the purchase was made at a merchant advertising In the competition or not. It la advisable, however, for contest ants to purchase the products at tha tabllshments of merchants In the con teat, for In this way It Is possible to : reive votea twice. To lllustrate.vacon ttsUnt purchases a 23c box of HofTs Lemon Seldlltz Powders at the Ideal Pharmacy. Both the manufacturer and tbi drupglst are advertisers In the con test. The patron, upon request, receive five votes from the pharmacist for pkt ronlzlng the establishment ore for each 5 cents in purchase. The contestant then takes "the box ton to The Advocate r.t The Herald business ofSce and re ceives twenty-five votes for patronizing tl.e manufacturer one for each cant la purchase.
