Wins £1000 Prize

£25 For Fiji

There was great excitement in the little township of Hilldale, N.S.W. (Aust.) when the news spread that Mrs. Elizabeth Turner, the proud mother of twelve children, had won a prize worth £1,000.

It was just wonderful,” she wrote, “to win all this, because we are having a very great struggle, and now I shall not have to worry any more.”

Mrs. Turner, like many other country resi dents, had often tried her luck in big sweeps, but it took a local Art Union, in aid of the deaf, dumb and blind children of N.S.W., to change her luck. Country women are very lucky in Art Unions, for Mrs. Marks, of Cool amon, N.S.W., also won a £1,000 prize for her lucky 1/- in an Art Union for the same cause.

Many of the big prizes also go to other States and the Islands, and, here again, people living away from the big towns are very lucky. Mr. Thomas, of Morwell, Victoria, won £1,000 prize last year, and Mr. Stewart of Gabbin, West. Australia, won a Motor Car valued at £675 at the same time.

Mrs. Adams, of Pinnaroo, near the border of South Australia, won a beautiful Car and 1,000 gallons of petrol for her lucky 1/- ticket,

and in our last Art Union, Mr. Swann, of Suva, Fiji, won a valuable prize.

Many of these lucky winners simply cut out a paragraph like this and sent it in with a Postal Note for 1/-.

All these Art Unions are drawn under Police supervision, and every subscriber has an equal chance of winning.

Another wonderful chance of winning a £1,000 prize in the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Art Union, which will be drawn on August Bth, is now offered to readers. The first prize is guaranteed to be worth £1,000, and there are beautiful Motor Cars and dozens of other costly prizes to be won. While you feel lucky, clip out this paragraph and send it with a Postal Note for tickets (1/- each) and a stamped, addressed envelope, bearing your own name and address to the Hon. Secretary, Deaf, Dumb and Blind Art Union, No. 5, Box 3908TT, G.P.O., Sydney, and a lucky ticket will be posted to you at once.

Make up your mind to do this now! It may be your turn to win, and you can rest assured that you have a fair chance. Your decision to send in for a ticket now may change the whole outlook in life and, at the same time, you are helping the deaf, dumb and blind children.

As long as your reply is received in Sydney by August 8th, you will be in time to have a ticket sent to you. Read the announcement on page 12.—Advertisement.
