Winners of the Crescent-News Diamond Contest - December 29, 1908

It certainly was a race to follow as the women of Defiance County vied for prizes of diamond rings and watches given out by the Crescent-News.  All they had to do was garner votes from family and friends.  Voting ballots appeared in the newspaper every day.  If they wanted extra points, any new subscriptions to the paper gave them that.

Over $500 worth of prizes was offered by the Crescent to the top vote-getters.
The overall winner was Miss Edith Kopp of Defiance with 178,949 votes.  Miss Goldie Rethmel gained 131,000, Miss Tena Wilsberg of Washington Street, Defiance had 127,542 and Miss Della Kyle, Hicksville tallied 169,851. 

Florence Stoll of Second Street, Defiance; Godie Deatrick of Kintner Street; Dessie Lichty of Ney; and Celia Snyder of Evansport completed the winners' list.
