Where is the other side with the first three lines of the jingle?
Forget that Disney land trip, I want that Philco TV set!

Haven’t got it. Complete entry blanks are very rare as you might expect since just about every kid in America was begging to go to Disneyland by any means in 1955. I found an image online a long time ago of the front side and printed it out for fun.
Bingo.
I couldn’t find the winning entry, though. Perhaps that’s for the best.
Surprisingly, unlike the 3M Scotch Tape contest going on at the same time, there appears to be no filmed account of the lucky winning family enjoying their time at Disneyland.
Maybe they were photographed in the Hall of Chemistry for internal Monsanto newsletters and/or stock holder promotions. Disneyland was crazy busy (counterfeit gate passes were a serious problem) and construction continued for several years after opening day. Even on July 17, 1955 not much went as planned. Sinatra was caught on a hot mike during the TV broadcast swearing up a storm in Fantasyland.
