$3 Slogan
The catchy slogan "Water, Wealth, Contentment, Health" was selected during a 1911 contest to be placed on the arch.
The winner received a $3 prize which was probably a nice sum in those days, but more rewarding, his words have lasted generations and have become part of Modesto history.

What you are writing now will last for generations and be part of the history too.
Pretty cool, I like that. I wish my words could be immortalized like that.
Cool!
You are right! More than $3, Name going on to the history books is more noticeable! Nice shot!

Thats a neat sign, it reminds me of a small town in the 50s. I'm not that old, but I imagine what it looked like.
