E-C GIRL HERE TO
GIVE AWAY DOLLARS.

Young Women Who Have Left a
Trail of Money East and West
Are Guests of Kansas City.

You Will Know Her By This Costume.

The E-C Girl, spick and span in her pretty linen suit tastily designed in the national colors, is in Kansas City. There is really a big merry group of E-C Girls here, each of them young and pretty and full of bubbling enthusiasm over her most extraordinary mission -- actually giving away crisp new dollar bills, fresh from the government's presses, to homes where she finds E-C Corn Flakes.

The E-C Girls came in from St. Louis after a month of strenuous work in the Mound City, where they gave away thousands of dollars. It is stated authoritatively that they brought an exceptionally liberal supply of their "crisp new ones" for their work in Kansas City suburbs.

"Do we really give away real dollar bills? Well, just ask the people of St. Louis," said a happy, smiling E-C girl last night. "Ask them in Philadelphia. Ask them in Chicago. Ask them in any of a hundred cities. We have strewn the country with dollar bills all the way from New Haven to Omaha, at least in nearly every city of importance except Kansas City. And the people here will soon find out we are just as advertised. Big as Kansas City is, we will get into every neighborhood. there are a lot of us. We work fast and we will stay here till we are through. We will convince Kansas City that we are real American girls, really giving away dollar bills. Can you think of anything nicer?"

The E-C girls relate many interesting incidents of their work, East and West. Since the 1st of April they have been on the go, and their dollar bills piled up would endow a college or build a string of libraries.

"But it's a lot more fun to give it away this way," protested the E-C girl, when the suggestion was made. "We meet rich and poor, distinguished and unknown, and everybody likes us."
