HARVEST OF
DOLLARS FOR
CONTESTANTS
At a meeting held this week a
I large group of Exeter merchants
I have decided to hold a contest
I similar to the one held here over
three years ago, but with many
new features. This time all of
the prizes will be cash. The first
prize is $300.00; second $150.00,
third $75.00 and many other cash
Prizes. Campaign headquarters
has been opened in a Main St.
Store opposite the post office and
| the store will be open daily from
| 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. In order to be
eligible for any of the prizes any
one must first “register” as a
contestant. There is to be no
charge of any kind and informa
tion will be cheerfully given out
at all times. A telephone has
been installed, the number Ex
eter 163. The “standing” of the
contestants will be posted every
day in all of the participating
stores. A very exciting and prof
itable five weeks is promised to
all by the campaign manager.
Campaign
Any one under 16 can join
The Junior Brigade
Juniors See Details Elsewhere on This Page
On of the novel features of this Campaign is the collection of “Junk.” Old
batteries, tubes, tires, paper and rags, etc.
In the past the money obtained from the sale of this junk was divided among
the merchants and helped them to defray the expenses of the Campaign.
Due to the present unsettled conditions it has been decided by the merchants
as a gesture on their part to donate the net profits from the junk to the
local branch of the Canadian Legion and the Lions Club. Both organiza
tions to receive an equal share. It must be definately understood, however,
that neither the “Legion” nor the “Lions Club” are in any way connected
with the Campaign. In other words they are not “sponsoring” the Cam
paign and will have no part in running it.

Senior Brigade
and Work for a Cash Prize
CAMPAIGN STARTS SATURDAY,
SEPT. 30th. ENDS SATURDAY,
NOVEMBER 4th
The Fall “Harvest” Campaign will not be a “popularity”
“lucky number contest.” It will be won by “workers.” There
will be many ways of securing “Free Votes.” In fact one
day a week (Thursdays) are given over entirely to “Free
Votes.” On these days large blocks of votes will be obtain
able without spending a cent. Votes may be also obtained
for bringing in junk and there will be cash prizes for the
contestant obtaining the most junk. The junk barn will
open next week. As stated elsewhere on the page the
net profit from the sale of the junk will be given to local
charity.
If you feel you could use $300.00 cash come to the head
quarters today. Remember there is no charge of any kind.
