A countywide contest invites ladies and girls to participate with voting to be allowed in Osceola as well. Organizers aim for a short, sharp campaign spanning Polk County, with a final closing date announced thirty days prior to completion and prizes awarded after thorough canvassing.
The leading Osceola piano dealer offers the Cable piano in their store as an exhibit. It is advertised as one of the best pianos, backed by Dunn and Cable & Sons guarantees, and available for trial by customers who vote for the lady with the largest number of votes.
Ray and Co. offers a finely crafted twenty year case watch as a prize. The winner will be chosen by the largest vote total, while the lady with the second highest votes receives the watch with a fifteen jewel movement from Elgin or Waltham.
A special prize of ten dollars in gold will go to the lady who enrolls the most new Record subscribers during the contest. Winning this prize does not affect eligibility for any other prizes.
The Record joins with the Nebraska Farmer from Lincoln to offer a combined subscription at $1 per year. The Nebraska Farmer costs $1 annually and is a weekly farm paper with departments appealing to town readers. Both papers together provide value for subscribers.
The notice outlines a subscription based voting system where each cent paid yields votes, with different rates for renewals and new subscriptions. It describes voting cards, ballot box procedures, and safeguards to ensure fair counting and publication of results each week.
The notice states no Osceola residents may enter the race and invites new contestants from all parts of Polk county except Qecconb city. Read your name at the Record office to receive full instructions. Prizes are offered for a little work and subscribers are urged to support the Record and Farmer.
