EXTRA PICTURES-A SQUARE DEAL
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. FRIDAY, t APRIL 28, 1911.
AN EQUAL CHANCE FOR ALL CONTESTANTS
The rules of The Call's Booklovers' Contest permit contestants to give as many as
5 answers to each picture, in case they wish to. Contestants may give 1 answer to a
certain picture, 4 to another picture, 3 to another picture, sto another, and so on. Each
answer must be upon a separate coupon. (And these extra pictures, with their coupons,
will cost you nothing. Under plan !No. 1, outlined below, you can obtain all you may
need, free.) s jS
Contestants may not make more than 5 answers to each picture because they must be
restrained from making endless and haphazard answers. Each answer must be upon a
separate coupon because otherwise answers would be returned crowded upon one cou
pon, scrawled over small pieces of paper, or sent in some other way that would result
in extreme confusion. With each answer upon a separate coupon the results returned
by.each contestant can be checked rapidly and ACCURATELY. „
; v And this is why contestants are permitted 5 answers to each picture, instead of
being limited to one answer to each picture. v
IF BUT ONE ANSWER TO EACH PICTURE WAS PERMITTED THE
CONTEST MIGHT NOT BE FAIR TO ALL. THOSE VERSED IN THE TITLES
OF BOOKS MIGHT HAVE AN ADVANTAGE OVER THE MAN AND WOMAN
WITH BUT AN AVERAGE KNOWLEDGE OF BOOKS—THE EVERYDAY MAN
AND WOMAN— WITH 5 ANSWERS TO EACH PICTURE PERMITTED
THE EVERYDAY MAN AND WOMAN HAS AS MUCH CHANCE AS THE UNI
VERSITY PROFESSOR OR ANY ONE ELSE. UNDER THESE CONDITIONS
THE CONTEST BECOMES ONE IN WHICH INSIGHT AND SHREWDNESS
COUNT— NOT SPECIALIZED EDUCATION.
With 5 answers to each picture permitted each contestant has an equal, chance.
There is plenty of opportunity in 5 answers to cover all the possible titles that a picture
could be construed to represent.
And remember, incorrect answers do not count against contestants if the correct
answer is also given.
Read below how you can get extra pictures and coupons for extra answers FREE.
The Call desires that contestants may not be put to expense in securing extra pic
tures, with their coupons. If you buy them from time to time we must charge 5 cents
each for them—the regular price of a copy of this newspaper. But you may get all you
will need free. Read the announcement below: ' s
m- — : , ; ; «*.
The San Francisco Call's great Booklovers* Contest is largely based on similar con
tests held in the east. The Call has profited by both the successes and the mistakes of
those who conducted these other contests, and is giving its readers the fairest and most fas
cinating one ever held.
The contest rules permit you to send in as many as 5 answers to each picture, or in all
385 pictures, with their coupons. Each answer must-be upon a separate coupon. Under
the rules incorrect answers will not count against you, provided that you send in the correct
answer also. For instance, you might send in 5 answers to any one picture. If one of the
answers was correct it would not count against you that the other four answers were incor
rect. And under the rules also the contestant getting the greatest number of pictures cor
rect will win first prize. Thus, if a contestant sends in 300 pictures and coupons and has
60 answers correct and you send in only 100 pictures and coupons and have 59 correct,
that other contestant would be declared the winner, even though he used as many as 300
pictures and coupons and you used but 100.
. Now, here is a hint for you— first prize vnnners of other contests sent in as many as
200 or 300 pictures an coupons. They availed themselves of the right to send in extra
pictures and coupons, to make as sure as possible that they got the pictures correctly.
You will need extra pictures and coupons, too. Hundreds of contestants already
have called or sent for extra pictures and coupons, that they might submit extra answers.
Some want to submit from 2to 5 answers to each picture: Others want to replace pictures
soiled or torn or lost, and some wish to keep a duplicate set of pictures and coupons to
check the awards. . " ';' . " *
. - And extra pictures, with their coupons, are 5 cents each, no matter how you secure
them, unless you get them under the plans outlined below.
It is worth your time to read these plans. "-
