TWO BOOKS of 20 tickets each, have been posted to many outlying parts of the district, but a good many people are missed, and they are requested to write for books to-day; and those who have them are requested to keep them, as it only means SIXPENCE PER DAY to hold two books of tickets and win £2490. Surely most people can afford this much for the Wounded Soldiers. SEND POE BOOKS at once so that you can take out so many tickets per week and always sell a friend | a ticket

EVERY HOUSEHOLD could put aside between them is per day, and many individuals could do so on their own and never miss it; yet it would mean—--90 TICKETS ' 90 CHANGES FOR THEM And 90 SHILLINGS lor the Wounded Soldiers. A better proposition to help the wounded and yourself you cannot find. REMEMBER THE WOUNDED and save your shillings to help the' local fund. See that every person in Marlborough has an interest in the Art Union. YOUR CHILDREN See that they have tickets in their name; it will give them the chance of a first-class education and start in life, and sixpence per day will give them 46 chances. ASK THE QUESTION of yourself: Am I doing right by not buying tickets when this great opportunity of securing a prize at short odds is offered. THE ODDS are five times better than Tattersall’s tickets, which are 6s each, and your money stops in the district and goes to Wounded Soldiers. YOU FORGET you promised to write, send presents, etc., when saying good-bye to the soldiers who have left. Yet what have you done. Your excuse is you did not know what to send or the address; but to-day you can prove yourself and buy a book of tickets with chances of five prizes and £ISOO FOR Is and help to collect as large an amount as possible.

EVERY INDIVIDUAL , is requested to send for books and try 1 and sell them. There are many who . praise our boys and applaud victories, yet have not and will not give unless forced to do so. The public know them, and little good their hoarded wealth will do them. BUY TICKETS TO-DAY Don’t wait to be asked. One shopkeeper is advertising a special sale with also an Art Union ticket for every 10s spent in his shop. Others intend to do the same. INSTRUCTIONS Those with books are requested to return the butts as soon as possible. If they have not the cash available at present they cau spread it over a period. Remember, sixpence per day means over two books of tickets, and Is means 90 chances, and 90 tickets as from January Ist to March 31st. Write to-day for bonks to— A. D. McLAUCHLAN, Secretary.
