The poster indicates that the advertisement at the top, reading "In the Spring a young man's fancy...." and showing a man laying on the grass staring at a sign reading "Packard $867 And up, delivered in Detroit. State taxes extra," will be going up on 10,000 board March 15th. The poster then indicates that a second poster will be going up on May 1st, which will be chosen "From scores of tentative designs like these -" and that "- the best will be selected for final development." The tentative poster designs include: one showing a girl feeding several chickens reading "'Chicken-feed' upkeep! Packard $867"; one showing a man and a woman standing in a window reading "'Lucky girl - elopin' in a Packard' $867"; and one showing the front end of a Packard reading "Runs like a song - for a song!
