be made to establish them as a regular feature, and it is hoped that at
least one competition a month can be looked for in future.

Draughtsmen's Addresses.

We intend issuing, the coming year, a number of interestingly
illustrated announcements of new architectural publications and
importations. We want to send these to every architectural student
and draughtsman in the United States and Canada. If you are not on our
subscription list, send us your _residence_ address for our circular
mailing list. Address a postal card as below, putting simply your
address on the back. If you are in an office, have the other fellows put
their residence addresses on the same card. We prefer to address mail
matter to your residence, as there is less danger of miscarriage. Do not
get the idea that by sending your address you are ordering something you
will be asked to pay for. All the expense, except the postal card, is
on our side. If we can't get out announcements interesting enough to
attract your attention and occasionally secure an order, it will be our
loss. Address:--

Bates & Guild,

Boston, Mass.
_For Circular List._

been difficult to decide which has the best claim to the prize; but the
judges have finally decided to award the first place to Mr. William L.
Welton, of Lynn, Mass., and his design is given on advertising page xiii
of this number. Of the reasons for this award some will be evident at a
glance. The effect of the page as a whole is striking and unique. To
be sure, there is a certain suggestiveness of Mr. Binner's familiar
advertisements for the Pabst Brewing Co., but the similarity goes no
further than the selection of Egyptian motives and the simple, flat,
silhouette-like treatment. Mr. Welton has merely gone to the same
source of inspiration, and his design is just as good in its way as Mr.
Binner's. The idea of connecting the character of the ornament with the
advertisement is carried out in both cases. The Pabst advertisements all
state that the history of brewing begins with Egypt, while Mr. Welton
has very cleverly used t
