Uncle Sam's Application Form

Whitehaven Gazette - Thursday, April 22, 1897

Article Index Uncle Sam's Application Form Page 2 Page 2 of 2 Every week, a subject will be given for the members of the XL Band to write a letter on.  The letter must not exceed three inches of type.  It must be written by the boy or girl without any assistance, signed, and posted in time to reach the "Gazette" Office on Tuesday morning.  The best letter received each will command for its writer a HALF-CROWN PRIZE. As it is impossible to suit the tastes of all young folk in prizes, the winner will receive an order on any bookseller, jeweller, or tradesman near the winner's residence, or in the borough of Whitehaven, whose advertisement appears regularly in the "Gazette", for the goods to the value of Half-a-Crown.  This sum will be placed to the credit of such tradesmen's account. The subject chosen for the comrades to write upon this week, according to the foregoing condition is 'WHAT I ENJOYED MOST ON EASTER MONDAY'. Remember to write on one side of the paper only, not to exceed three inches of type, and to post not later than Monday night. Nephews and Nieces should bear in mind that they can put advertisements in the "Gazette" for anything they want or have to sell, at the low rate of twopence each for every 20 words. Membership tickets will be printed shortly, and supplied to the comrades. =========================================================== The Letters to Uncle Sam and the Winners Names will follow........................................ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ << Prev - Next
