What Is It Contest

Saint Louis (Mo.)

1960-1969

Memory of life in France helps boy win contest. Mark Willingham, 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard D. Willingham, O'Fallon, Ill., became a winner in the "What Is It" contest because he once lived in France. Mark could identify the object in the contest as a barber bowl because while living in a small French village he used to notice them at the barber shop. Mark's essay on the bowl, which is on display at the Missouri Historical Society at the Jefferson Memorial in Forest Park, was good enough for the first prize, a $10 gift certificate from Famous-Barr.
