Rushden Echo & Argus, 26th February 1932, transcribed by Kay Collins

Miss Vera Baxter of Water-lane, Chelveston wins our voucher prize of 5s., in connection with last week’s competition, her entry being the first correct one opened.

The mistake was that in Messrs Clipson Bros. Advertisement on page 6, word “installing” was spelt “instaling.”

Miss Baxter elects to spend the prize with West and Denton, Rushden.


This copy came to us in 2016 with its caption.
So, are these boys related?
