BABIES, WELCOME!
A Place and Time when Babies Will
Be Welcomed; Will Occupy the
Place of Honor in the Public Eye
One of the most delightful features
of the Sandhill Fair of 1922 was the
Old Fashioned Baby Show at which
were gathered a hundred or more of!
the babies of this section to compete |
for prizes. j
It was also a source of surprise to |
many who had no idea we had so I
many good looking babies in the j
Sandhills. ,
This feature of the Fair was more |
or less of an experiment last year but i
it proved such an unqualified success '
that the decision to make it an annual
affair was unanimous.
In order to avoid confusion in the
minds of mothers we wish to state
that this show is not conducted along
the lines of the “Better Babies Show.”
We mean by that that there will be
no doctors or nurses on the ground
to weigh the babies to determine
whether they are within four ounces of
the required weight for age or
whether the measure is exactly right
around the waist but there will be
judges to determine which is the best
looking baby regardless of whether it
is wearing a silk dress or a cotton one.
In other words, it is a real old
fashioned baby show which everyone
enjoys seeing and in which all moth
ers will take a lively interest.
The prizes, as noted, are exceeding
ly attractive and numerous and it is
a forgone conclusion that the 1923
Baby Show will be one long to be re
membered.
Here is a list of the prizes: Baby
boy under one year, $5.00, $2.50, $1.50,
$1.00. These same prizes are offered
for the baby girl under one year, the
boy and girl irom one to two years,
the boy and girl from two to three
years, with a Sterling Silver Loving
Cup for Champion Baby of the Show.
Competition is open to all babies in
Moore, Lee, Harnett, Hoke, Cumber
land, Scotland, Richmond, Montgom
ery, Randolph and Chatham counties.
It will be held on Wednesday, Oc
tober 31st, at 11:00 a. m.
