WINNER OF PRIZE AUTOPIANO.
HARDMAN ADVERTISING POLICY
Thos. J. Hinton the Lucky Winner in New York
Evening Mail Booklovers' Contest—Three
Autopiano Prizes in Liggett & Myers Contest.
For the Coming Season Will Be a Forceful,
Continuous One—Destinn and the Autotone
Make Effective Publicity—Helps the Dealer.
The New York Evening Mail, one of the lead-
ing newspapers of this country, has just ended its
seventh annual Booklovers' Contest. The first
three prizes were $1,000, a motor car and an Ex-
position Model Autopiano, respectively.
Thomas J. Hinton, of Newark, N. J., was the
lucky winner of the Autopiano, and he expressed
himself as being more than pleased with his "win-
nings."
The Autopiano was selected as third prize in
this big contest owing to the fact that it was fig-
ured by the officials of the contest that the Auto-
piano would have more "attention value," owing
to its prominence in the public mind, thus creating
additional interest in their Picturegame.
The Evening Mail contest was started about the
.same time that the Panama-Pacific Exposition
opened in San Erancisco, and the Exposition
Model Autopiano was the natural selection of the
Evening Mail, as this is the model that has been
selected by so many State buildings at the Panama-
Pacific International Exposition.
The judges who awarded the prizes are as fol-
lows : Supreme Court Justice John Ford, Rev. Dr.
Joseph Silverman, of Temple Beth-El, Sam Lloyd,
celebrated puzzle expert.
Three Autopianos are also being prominently
featured at the present time in a popularity con-
test which Liggett & Myers, the extensive tobacco
manufacturers, are conducting in Georgia among
the railroad men of that State, and which is ex-
citing much interest. The winners of this contest
will be announced later.

advertised through the medium of forceful, well-

Hardman advertising department, good sized space
will be the keynote of the campaign, and this
space will be used consistently from one end of the
season to the other, thereby giving a continuous
chain of advertising which cannot fail to be result
productive.
One of the first pieces of copy to be used in this
campaign is reproduced herewith, and will give a
