What Is It Contest

Saint Louis (Mo.)

1960-1969

Identifying the object in the Nov. 12-13 "What Is It?" Contest was easy for the winner of the contest, Peggy Boehm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Boehm of Frontenac, Mo. Identification of the object as a bed warmer was simple for the twelve-year-old Parkway seventh grader because she has one at home. It was brought from Germany long before Peggy was born. She receives a $10 gift certificate courtesy of Famous-Barr for identifying the object and writing the best essay about it. The object is on display at the Missouri Historical Society in the Jefferson Memorial as are all objects in the "What Is It?" contest.
