Are You a Booklover
Maybe it would get more swiftly to the point to ask you:
How Would You Like to Win Five Hundred Dollars in Gold
Or perhaps this would strike you better: "What will you do with the big cash
prize the Capital News is going to give away, in case yon win it?"
t
These are the questions the Booklovers are most interested in these days.
And Who Are the Booklovers?
Their name is legion. They are the thousands of men and women, boys and girls, who will solve the daily pict
ures that appear in the Capital News, giving to their pictures the names of the books the contestants believe the pict
ures to represent. They live, these Booklovers, in all this wonderful Western country that the Capital News covers
so well. The interest in this Contest will be great, and we hope you will not miss a single picture.
Everybody ^fill Be Interested — and no wonder! For this Contest is one of real quality. There's no
chasing around hither and yon after votes. There's no running after subscriptions. There's no soliciting. * There's
no outside work to be done. The most shut-in person can engage succeesfully in the Booklovers' Contest. The
most modest and retiring can do the necessary work in the seclusion of home and stand quite as good a chance to
land the prize as anyone else.
