Why Not Give a Cross Word Puzzle Party?
The puzzles in this book may be obtained separately on stiff cardboard. Several copies of the same puzzle are ideal for a party.
In solving the puzzles in this book, you may possibly have thought it good fun to stage a Cross Word Puzzle Party. Heretofore, this called for one copy of The Cross Word Puzzle Book for each person. But this is rather expensive, unless you plan to give a great many parties.
Responding to a general request, therefore, we are reprinting each of the fifty puzzles in this book separately on stiff boards. In other words, every one at a party can now have his own puzzle, and a contest can be arranged to see who will be the first to turn in a perfect solution.
This was first done at the Cross Word Puzzle Convention held at the Ambassador Hotel, New York, on May 18, 1924. Everybody there agreed that it was an intensely exciting and enjoyable party. A contest of this sort can be made really thrilling by scoring each contestant’s time with a stop-watch and noting the number of errors. The winner is the first person turning in a 100 per cent correct solution.
The price per puzzle (diagram and definitions) printed on stiff board (so that you won’t have to lean on a book or table) is ten cents. Each puzzle comes in an individually sealed envelope. You may order as many or as few as you require for your party. Merely name the number of the puzzle (or puzzles) you wish, referring to the numbers in this book, and state the quantity of each. Send ten cents for each copy you order. They will be sent to you post-paid. They may be had only direct from the publishers.
If you believe that the people for whom you are planning the party have already done the puzzles in the Cross Word Puzzle Book, we can supply you with copies of 3 new puzzles specially constructed for parties, and not published anywhere. Ask for Puzzle A (easy); Puzzle B (medium); Puzzle C (hard). Price the same: ten cents for each card in a sealed envelope.
With each order for ten or more cards we shall send you five blank Cross Word diagrams, so that you and your friends may have the fun of constructing your own Cross Word puzzles.
We guarantee that your Cross Word Puzzle Party will be a huge success from every standpoint.
Whether or not you have a definite party in mind, we suggest that you order some of these puzzle-cards at once. You will appreciate having them on hand for one of those informal occasions when friends drop in. Many people have found that Cross Word Puzzle Parties are giving them more delightful entertainment than Bridge or Mah Jong. Send in your order to-day to
