The last two days, Friday and Saturday, were busy days for the remaining contestants. Mrs. Joe Moore was in twenty-fourth place Wednesday but kept climbing until when the final votes were counted it was found she had won the car. Audrey LeClaire held second place, and won the $300 phonograph. Audrey Anderson dropped from first to third place and won the $175 diamond ring. Mrs. Adelaide Simerson won the $150 radio in fourth place. Mrs. Albert Leu came from eighth to fifth place and won the $100 wrist watch. Mrs. E. Kuehnast in sixth place won the $50 ring. Irene Notbohm won the $40 diamond brooch, Mrs. J. B. Thompson the $20 pearl necklace and Mrs. Rene Gibson the $15 Parisan compact.
