You can use any , letter as many times to make a name as it appears in the list of letters above ; for instance Woodcock, Plover, Snow Bird, &c. To any persona who can make a list of 25 or more different names of birds, we will give absolutely FREE a beautiful Prize v&lue £200 or less. BIG PRIZES AWARDFD DAILY. When you have made out your list fill out the line on the bottom of this adv. and send to us with a Stamped, Addressed envelope, then if you are awarded a prize you can if you desire get the prize by becoming a subscriber to THE WOMAN'S WORLD. W r e shall award a prize to every person who sends the name of 25 Birds, and our Gifts will be as follows : For the best list, received each day, a Gold Watch ; for the second best solution each day a beautiful Imported Tea Set ; for the seven next best solutions, each day a Konrah-Sakih Diamond and Ruby Ring ; for the next best solution, a Gold Piece : and for all other correct solutions, Prizes of Good Va ue. These prizes will be forwarded daily, you will not have to wait a long time in uncertainty before you know the result. There is no element of lottery in our plan, it makes no difference whether we get your solution late or early in the day. All you need is to post this adv. to us, and on the day it reaches us, if your list is the best, YOU bHALL HAVE THE GOLD WATCH, or if second best the Beautiful Tea Set, and so on. We guarantee that we will award you a prize. There is absolutely no opportunity for deception on our part — we cannot afford it. We want to get 1,000,000 well satisfied subscribers, and for that reason we don't want you to send any money until you know exactly what prize you have gained by answering the puzzles. As soon after 4 pm. each day as possib e, the examiners will judge the lists to the best of their ability, and will designate the prizes. We will write to you at once notifying you what prize has been awarded you, then if you are fully satisfied you can send your subscription to THE WOMAN'S WORLD and your prize will go by return of post carefully packed. To a person of narrow ideas it seems impossible that we should be able to make such a gigantic offer, but we have the money, brains, and reputation, we know exactly what we are doing, and if we can legitimately gain a million subscribers by this grand idea, we know that this million of well pleased subscribers can be induced to recommend THE WOMAN'S WORLD to all friends thereby building up our circulation still further. We are willing to spend £5,000 in this contest in building up a big subscription list, and when this money is spent we reserve the right to publish a notification that the contest has been discontinued. Don't delay until it is too late. The contest will continue until January Ist, 1901. We give a Bonus Prize of £50 independent of all others to the person who sends in the list gotten up in the best and handsomest manner. Our Committee will decide and award prizes daily, but the special £50 prize will be awarded in March 1901. Any birds name found in the dictionaries accepted. WHO WE ARE.
