IT PAYS _T0 ADVERTISE Sensational Offer Made to Frontier Auto Contestants this Week. EXTRA VOTES GIVEN THIS WEEK Read the Offers Below and Under stand them Thoroughly. The time to Get Busy s at Hand.—Read the Big Contest Ad., it Explains Everything. Get Busy Now. From now on contestants may sell advertising and job work to anyone, anywhere. These cards come in book form containing ten cards and each card sells for $2.50. Contestants will receive 3,000 votes for each card sold. When the books are handed out by the contest manager he will charge them to the Candidates getting them, in a ledger. All cards must be accounted for at the close of the contest. Of course this idea of letting contestants sell advertising and job work may seem to some as a mere side issue of the contest, but do not get the idea that it is of no consequence. Almost everyone advertises or has job work of some kind done—merchants advertise their goods—they also have letter heads, envelopes and other kinds of job work done. Farmers have sales, and many have their stationary printed, there is no limit to the amount of these cards that can be sold if those who are working for the auto and other prizes make up their mind to sell them. We are going to make a special offer this week in connection with the advertising and job work cards—read the offer below. The Offer. Remember that you will receive 3.000 votes for each card sold. If you sell the entire book you will receive 30.000 votes, and you will collect $2.50 for each card at the time you sell it. That means that if you sell an entire book you will turn in $25 to the con test manager and he will credit you with 30,000 votes. Now, in addition to that we are going to give an extra 10,000 votes for each FIVE cards sold within the next week. Here it is again:—If you sell FIVE cards, ($12.50) you will receive 10,000 EXTRA VOTES besides the 16,000 you will get on the cards, 25,000 votes by making a report of only $12.60 to the Contest Manager next Wednesday, on ad vertising or job Work cards. That is one offer—here is another:— For each club of $15 turned in on sub scriptions between Aug. 26th and Sep tember, 1st, contestants will receive 10,000 EXTRA VOTES. You may in clude NEW or old subscriptions on this offer but you cannot combine this offer with the one above. They are separate and apart from one another. From now on you must make your re ports to the contest manager corres pond with your ambitions. You want to win that car, and you would like to be one of the leaders each week—The only way to do that is to “hustle,” you can’t afford to waste a minute, the contest isn’t going to last much longer and while these offers of EXTRA votes are in force you must take advantage of them. In contests of this kind that I have conducted in the past there has as in all contests of this kind, been only one that was successful in win ning the automobile that we gave aWay—that person did what they were told by the contest manager and when an offer of extra votes such as the two offers this week, was put on they took every advantage they could and piled up a lot of them. PILE UP VOTES—that’s what you should do. Keep this in mind:—there will be absolutely no extra votes the last few days of the contest, that means only one thing—get them while you can. Not Too Late To Start. Some may think it is a little too late to start in now and win that car. It isn’t too late NOW—but it is going to be too late before very long. There is no standing in the paper so far but that it can be overcome with a few small efforts. Look at the “HOW THEY STAND” list below, then figure up how much you would have to do in the next week to have as many votes as the ones that are now in the lead. Don’t say “it can’t be done” or some one will surprise you by saying “I have already done it.” Call the con test manager and tell him your de sires, he will gladly give you all the information necessary to start a suc cessful campaign for you and will furnish you with supplies. Winners of Prize Ballotts. Yesterday closed the big prize oallot offer. There was some real good work done on this offer but nothing like what is going to be done on the two offers which close next Wednes day. Below are the names of the winners: Joe Murphy, Viola Morgan, Mel vina Simmons, Myrtle Hoxie, Mar garet Peters, Minnie Ruby, Julia O’Neill, Clara Dickerson, Alice Kill inger, Mrs. May Quinn, Helen Spindler, Ruth Bigler, Mrs. Carl Storejohn, John Handley, Homer Mullen. How to Get Votes. There are several ways to get votes. First, you may save the free coupons found in the contest ad. on page five of this paper. These coupons are good for 50 votes on the auto and other prizes—save all you can, have your friends save theirs for you Second, use the telephone, write let ters, (we will furnish you with a list of names of delinquent subscribers), call on the up-to-date business men of your locality and offer them the ad vertising and job work cards.
