RRR Go BAAR. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1925 LOCAL GIRL MAY GET WORLD TOUR Miss Zita Hayes Entered in Illinois Products Expo Contest REPRESENTS VILLAGE Two Girls from Entire State to Take Trip How many girls would like to take a trip all the way around the world, with all expenses paid, and acting as an official representative of a great state? A Winnetka girl may have the ad- venture of such a trip, round the world by the way of the Orient, through Egypt and the Mediterranean, as an official representative of the state of Illinois this - fall. Miss Zita Hayes, 869 Locust street, representing Win- netka is competing with from 30 to 35 active candidates from other Illinois towns and cities for tlie honor. The Illinois Chamber of Commerce, through the medium of the Illinois Pro- ducts Exposition, is offering this op- portunity of a lifetime to the two girls --one from Chicago and one from the state at large outside Chicago--who sell the most advance tickets to the Illinois Products Exposition, to be held in the American Exposition Pal- ace, Chicago, October 8-17, inclusive. The girl who lives outside the city limits of Chicago, will not compete with the Chicago girl for the round- the-world tour, or any of the other prizes offered in the contest. And she has a better chance than the Chicago girl, it is. pointed out, because in Chi- cago there-are 106 active contestants, while there are less than 35 outside the city. Contest in Progress Contestants who sold 10 or more tickets by September 5 and reported the same to A. R. Shaffer, director of the Round-the-World Tour campaign, at contest headquarters of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, 10 So. LaSalle street, received a bonus of 1,000 free vote credits, a good send-off toward winning the round-the-world trip. The preliminary competition in ticket selling ends Saturday, September 19, after which the contest will be narrowed down to the 10 girls in the state who have sold the most tickets up to that time. It is hoped that all residents of Winnetka will buy their tickets early so that Miss Hayes will be sure to get her chance in the finals of the contest. at most of the stores and business places in the village, or from Miss Hayes herself. The tour begins at San Francisco, from the waterfront made famous in the romantic stories of Jack London, Frank Norris and Robert Louis Stev- enson. Six days after leaving, the liner glides into the harbor of Hono- lulu, with its famous beach of Waikiki, its fields of sugar cane and pineapple, its volcano, its submarine gardens and sumptuous hotels. gi Visit Many Lands Then across the broad Pacific to Japan, to Kobe, which will be viewed from - rickshaw chair or automobile.
