" Tbe advertisement was inserted in two or three of the Ann Arbor papers and a mimber of lists of words were sent to the company by people in the city. After some time had elapsed each one sending in a list got word that pending the determination of who should get the big prizes, the f company had decided to give one of three neighborhood prizes tó the person sending in the longest list from this section. Two of these prizes were a diamond ring and a silver tea set. Eaoh person was told that they had won this prize and that tbey conld obtain it by sending for $2.75 worth of bulbs to the Monon Seed Co. Those wbo sent in their cash received in retnrn a lot of almost worth less bulbs and equally worthless jewelry.
