Two 4-H Club Girls and Their Leaders Enjoy a Six-Weeks' Tour of Europe. WINNERS OF THE CHICAGO MAIL ORDER CO'S GRAND PRIZE. June and July, 1930, are months long to be remembered by two Menard County, Illinois, 4-H Club girls, Misses Nancy Grossboll [pictured left] and Mary Jeanette Irwin [pictured right]. As a result of meritorious achievements last year in their 4-H Club Clothing Demonstration work, these young ladies won the Chicago Mail Order Co.'s Free-Trip-to-Paris Prize. Accompanied by Mrs. Carl Kirby, local club leader, and Miss Mary McKee, specialist in Girls' Club Work, University of Illinois, the girls left Chicago on June 7 for a six weeks' tour of Europe. While in Chicago the girls and their leaders took part in the National 4-H Club Hour over the National Broadcasting Co. Network consisting of 37 stations. The party returned home on July 30, after having visited places of interest in France, England, Switzerland, Belgium, and Holland. Elsewhere on this page mention is made of the Chicago Mail Order Co.'s offer of another free-trip-to-Paris to be awarded next December to the winner of the 4-H Club Girls' National Style Dress Contest. THE THRIFT HEADQUARTERS OF 4,000,000 CUSTOMERS. The exceptionally good values offered by the Chicago Mail Order Co. have made it the fast-growing Mail Order House in the United States. Thrifty families in every state in the union buy from this company regularly. Those who really want to save money find that it always pays to trade at the Chicago Mail Order Co. EIGHT-STORY HOME OF THE CHICAGO MAIL ORDER COMPANY. WHEN YOU BUY FOR CASH YOU BUY FOR LESS. How often have you heard the expression "How much for cash?" You know what it means… it means that a lower price is expected by the buyer if Cash is paid. The Chicago Mail Order Company has always been a cash house—it buys for cash so it buys for less; it sells for cash so it sells for less—that is why the Chicago Mail Order Co.'s customers always enjoy the lowest price for goods they buy. Another Chicago Mail Order Co. Free Trip-to-Paris Prize to Be Awarded This Year. Some time ago Mr. G. L. Noble, Managing Director of the National Committee on Boys' and Girls' 4-H Club Work, announced another Chicago Mail Order Co. Free-trip-to-Paris Prize for 1930. This contest is nationwide, and the prize will be awarded in December to the winner of the 4-H Club Girls' National Style Dress Contest. 4-H Club Girls who wish to compete for the prize, should consult their local Club Leader, County Extension Agent, or write Mr. Noble at 360 N.
