Intense interest has been aroused among
operators of Postcard Venders by the in­
troduction of a new and original Free
Prize Contest, sponsored by the Exhibit
Supply Company.
Everpwhere it is being tried out, the sale
of postcards has increased by leaps and
bounds. This new series of cards is called
Movie Star Fan Cards. The contest con­
sists of properly pasting 64 small Movie
Star photos on a Test Sheet, which is
mailed in direct to the company. Many
attractive prizes are being given away to
the successful boys and girls. The plan
has only to be started in a school locality
and it immediately spreads like wildfire.
Everything necessaiy to carry out this
new idea is supplied free to operators by
Exhibit: special Ideal display signs; pads
of test sheets; window advertising signs;
etc. The operator has no extra work as
the company handles everything direct
with each wanner. The usual coupons are
also printed on the cards giving each card
a “double value.”
Now if you have some idle Ideal Post­
card Venders and you want to try out this
new scheme, then write Exhibit and they
will send you a loading of 500 Movie Star
Fan cards with everything necessary to
introduce the contest in your territory.
This is an honest effort by a big company
to help operators boost the sale of post­
cards. You owe it to yourself to give the
plan a trial.
