Impress your friends! Dazzle your
classmates or club members! Win
this latest kookie Dr Pepper contest
and invite up to 50 of them to be
YOUR guests at a picnic! But (you
know us from past contests) thia is
no ordinary picnic, ’cause it’ll be
held at the New York World’s Fair!
That’s right—the first prize in this
unusual contest is a free three-day
trip to the New York World’s Fair
for the winner and up to 50 of his
(or her) friends! You’ll stay at one
of New York’s most modern hotels,
you’ll see the sights at the Fair and
you and your party will be treated
to an old-fashioned picnic right on
the Fair grounds. For going to all
this trouble (making out the guest
list, etc.), we’ll also give the top
winner a new 1964 Comet Caliente,
plus $50.00 spending money for him-
self (or herseif) and each member of
the group!
We’re having this distinctively dif-
ferent contest (aside from liking pic-
nics ourselves) to remind you that
Dr Pepper is the distinctively differ-
ent soft drink for today’s light ’n
lively taste. It’s not a cola or a root
beer, but a delicious blend of fruit
flavors—and you just can’t have a
real “picnic” without Dr Pepper.
So enter soon—and often! Contest
details and official entry blanks are
on Dr Pepper cartons now. Contest
closes at midnight on May 23,1964!
