FAIR NOTES
A Rafl'le is certainly nothing
new and different for Nome, bu
the “Big 3 Raffle” planned for the
Fair is at least out of the ordinary
in the respect that there will be
not 1, not 2, but 3 lucky winners ot
3 different prizes to be given ou
st the Fair. These worthy prizes
which will go to the fortunate
holders of those numbers drawn
on April 13 will be practical and
useful, as well as decorative to a in
home. The first number drawn
will have a difficult choice oi
choosing one of the following three
items:
1. A beautiful Philco radio
phonograph combination, e o rn
plete with all the latest attach
ments and useful feature-.
2. A Frigidaire Refrigerator
equipped with more modern gad-'
gets and features than space per
mits to mention.
3. A fine labor saving Too:
Washing machine which would be
a boon to any home.
The second number called will
get a choice of the remaining two
prizes and the last number caller’
will receive the remaining prize.
Any one of the three worthy
items would be desirable to own.
