I have offered these cash prizes for years. The first ofl'er was made over thirty years ago. This year I 

 make it again. What pleases me about this ofler is that all of my customers have an equal chance. 

 YOU are just as likely to win a handsome prize as anyone else. Now this is the plan: Many folks 

 in your neighborhood send away for their seeds. Some of them send their orders to me. Borne send 

 elsewhere. Why dou't you collect these orders and send them to me, and have each order count 

 tov/ards a prize? You will be astonished how easy it is. Just take a copy of this 

 catalogue and an order blank — I will send you free as many as you need — call on 

 your friends and neighbors and say that you want them to use Maule's Seeds and 

 give YOU their orders. You will be surprised how quickly the orders amount up 

 to a tidy sum. And it isn't necessary to send in such a large amount to win a prize. 

 Soine of my customers have won prizes by a single afternoon's work. A §10.00 

 jorize was won last year for just ?89.55 worth of orders. The year before a prize 

 went for a club of only ?59.26. Others by giving more of their time to it win the 

 } top prizes. Remember everything ordered from this catalogue counts whether 

 your order is large or small. Every order sent iu during the year will be counted 

 but you must mention on each order that it is for the Club Competition otherwise 

 a small order might be overlooked. The contest is open the entire year from July 

 1st to July 1st. if you vrill drop me a postal, or mention it on your first order, I will 

 gladly tell you more about it and send j'ou all supplies necessary without charge.
