A marketing promo describes a weekly puzzle contest from Double-Mellow Old Gold cigarettes offering 100000 dollars in prizes across 1000 cash awards. It urges readers to solve six puzzles each week, mail solutions by Saturday midnight, and claim free entry with wrappers or facsimiles. The text emphasizes neatness not counting and repeats dates from 1937.
The text presents a wordplay puzzle combining RIP, DOLL, FEFEF dog sounds and VAL ENTINE to form Rudolph Valentino. It hints at a 1947 copyright and a contest offering weekly puzzles. It urges readers to find two following lists and mentions Texas Guinan Edwin Booth as part of the name derivation.
A cigarette promotion offers a double money back guarantee on first packs of Double-Mellow Old Golds. Smoke the first 10 cigarettes and if not delighted, return the rest with wrappers to receive twice the price paid plus postage. Offer runs until end of contest with required participation steps.
