Winners Speak to MRS. C WARVE Ad Writing Contest
May I express my sincere thanks to The Cedar Rapids Gazette and the twenty six firms which have made this Ad Writing contest possible. The contest has been a fascinating game and a thoroughly enjoyable experience for me. The eight weeks of reading and writing ads has made me realize the important role advertisements play in merchandising and selling products.
