Parents, no doubt, realize the im
portance of having their baby land
a high position on this first Honor
Roll, for this will give the public
its first indications as to which
parents are out to have their bab
ies win. The public likes to be
with the winner, so naturally many
new supporters will flock to the
babies who hold the highest po
sitions. Remember, you have hp to
Saturday, 7, p. m. to ballot coupons
for the first count. Tell this to the
baby's relatives and your friends.
Be sure to round up all possible
coupons for the first count.
If you have a child under six
years of "'age; why not enter "Iftrt
the Baiby Derby? Surely, you can
lose nothing and with a little ac
tivity, you will be able to see your
baby's picture published in The
Franklin Press and Highlands Ma
conian. Remember, , babies are bab
ies just a time, so while the, op
portunity is presented to have
your baby's picture published be
sure to take advantage of it. We
feel certain that you will guard
and cherish for years to come the
copy of The Press carrying your
baby s . picture.
The Baby Derby has taken the
public's fancy in a manned far ex
ceeding any other competition ever
known to Franklin. For the first
time the people of Franklin and
its trading territory will be able
to see in The Franklin Press and
Highlands Maconian all the beauty
and charm embodied in the lovely
tots entered in the race. The bevy
of baby pictures in the window of
the Babv Derby office located in
the Cunningham Building on the
Square, is attracting much atten
tion. '
If vou do not have a child elig
ible for the Derby, why not select
one of the entrants and support it
with Baby Coupons ? Look at the
list of stores in the Baby Derby s
double page ad. Baby entrants are
in this ad too. When you make"
any .purchase in any of these busi
ness places, you are entitled to one
Babv couoon for each W cents
scent. For instance, a $10 purchase
would entitle yo,u to 20 coupons.
Please ask for your coupons. When
you get these coupons you can
either turn them over to the-par
ents of the -baby you wish to sup
port or you can bring them to the
Baby Derby office, and place them
in the ballot box after you have
written the Baby s name on one ot
the coupons. Parents, it isn't nec
essary that you write the baby's
name on each coupon, but bundle
them 50 or 100 in a bundle and
write the name of the baby on
top of the pack. Are you telling
your friends to ASK FOR THE
COUPONS FROM THE CO
OPERATING MERCHANTS ?

How can anyone become so hap
